Aaron Sanchez has been activated from the 10-day disabled list and will have a chance to help the Blue Jays win their first series of the season.

Yikes. A loss today would also mean that the Jays went through all of April without winning a single series. The best result they’ve had so far is a draw in a four-game series with the Angels, otherwise, all of the series the Jays have played this season have been dropped.

We still don’t have a timetable for the return of Josh Donaldson or Troy Tulowitzki, and Hazel Mae reports that we shouldn’t expect Tulo back any time in the near future.

In a corresponding roster move, Matt Dermody was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. Still no word on when J.A. Happ will be back, but having four-of-five from the ideal rotation plus Mat Latos isn’t that bad.

And now, the starting lineups…

Aaron Sanchez: 12 1/3 IP, 4.38 ERA, 8.0 H9, 2.2 HR9, 2.9 BB9, 6.6 BB9

Chris Archer: 32.0 IP, 3.94 ERA, 8.7 H9, 0.8 HR9, 3.7 BB9, 9.0 SO9

Chris Archer was excellent in his first couple starts of the season, but since then, he’s struggled with command. Aaron Sanchez has only made two starts this season due to that blister, but in the one that he faced Tampa Bay, he was excellent, holding them to one earned run over seven innings. This is an ace-on-ace match, one that the Jays badly need to come out of with a win.
