Lourdes Gurriel In Lineup, Teoscar Hernandez Hitting Cleanup
6 years agoRecently recalled second baseman Lourdes Gurriel will be in the starting lineup and will bat ninth for the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Devon Travis will sit in favor of Gurriel. Outfielder Teoscar Hernandez will bat fourth, Randal Grichuk will bat second and Kevin Pillar will bat sixth. Curtis Granderson will lead off while serving as the designated hitter, and Kendrys Morales will bat fifth and play first base. The Blue Jays will face off against Mike Fiers and the Tigers on Monday. Fiers was great in his last start, but his numbers away from Comerica Park this season (5.15 ERA) might be something to exploit. Morales is an intriguing option against Fiers based on his history with the pitcher (5-for-14, .357 batting average), while the defensively high-flying Pillar has shown signs of potentially heating up the last couple of days (7-for-18, .389 average).
