It&#8217;s the first day of spring and the weather network says sunshine in Dunedin, but I&#8217;m hearing there&#8217;s a chance of rain. Fuck that&#8217;s corny, but Josh Donaldson! He&#8217;s back! For the first time in 2017, the MVP will suit up for the Blue Jays, which is a huuuuuuuuuuuge positive for the team just two weeks away from opening day.

Josh Donaldson will make his big league spring training debut today for the Blue Jays as a designated hitter

Devon Travis will play second base in a minor league game today &#8212; big step for him. Blue Jays expect him in big league games by the weekend

Good news after good news on the injury front. As we know, Donaldson was step in today&#8217;s game as the designated hitter, and will likely, so long as everything goes well, play in the field later this week. Devon Travis still isn&#8217;t quite ready for a major league game, but he isn&#8217;t far behind, as he&#8217;ll be taking the field today in a minor league game at second base. Knock on wood, of course, but it looks like the Jays could be rolling into the regular season completely healthy, which is huge considering how strong the American League East is this year.

Team USA said they never were going to deviate from plans once tiebreaker not needed: Tanner Roark in semifinals, Marcus Stroman in finals.

If you don&#8217;t have a vesting interest in the WBC this week, cheer for the United States to beat Japan tomorrow so that Marcus Stroman can make an appearance in the gold medal game. Or don&#8217;t! Live your life!
