KEY GAME INFORMATION
TORONTO: 2016: 89-73, second place
Manager: John Gibbons (10th season)
Who's new? 1B/DH Kendrys Morales, C Jarrod Saltalamacchia, IF/OF Steve Pearce, IF Lourdes Gurriel, LHP J.P. Howell, RHP Joe Smith
Who's gone? 1B/DH Edwin Encarnacion, OF Michael Saunders, C Josh Thole, C Dioner Navarro, OF Junior Lake, RHP R.A. Dickey, LHP Brett Cecil, RHP Joaquin Benoit
Projected lineup: 2B Devon Travis (.300, 11 HR, 50 RBI), 3B Josh Donaldson (.284, 37, 99), RF Jose Bautista (.234, 22, 69), DH Kendrys Morales (.263, 30, 93 with Royals), SS Troy Tulowitzki (.254, 24, 79), C Russell Martin (.231, 20, 74), 1B Justin Smoak (.217, 14, 34), CF Kevin Pillar (.266, 7, 53, 14 SB), LF Ezequiel Carrera (.248, 6, 23)
Rotation: RH Marco Estrada (9-9, 3.48 ERA), LH J.A. Happ (20-4, 3.18), RH Marcus Stroman (9-10, 4.37), RH Aaron Sanchez (15-2, 3.00), LH Francisco Liriano (8-13, 4.69 with Pirates and Blue Jays)
Key relievers: RH Roberto Osuna (4-3, 2.68, 36/42 SV), RH Jason Grilli (6-4, 3.64), RH Joe Biagini (4-3, 3.06), LH J.P. Howell (1-1, 4.09 with Dodgers), RH Joe Smith (1-4, 3.82 with Angels), LH Aaron Loup (0-0, 5.02)
Hot spots: bullpen. The Blue Jays signed only a couple high-profile free agents (retaining Bautista, adding Morales) and brought in many lower-profile veterans mostly to compete for bullpen jobs. Howell and Smith, signed to low-risk deals, are all but guaranteed jobs. But what of Dominic Leone, Mat Latos, Mike Bolsinger, Lucas Harrell and Leonel Campos? Toronto seems to be crowd-sourcing its middle innings with low-risk, right-handed options. Up to a half-dozen pitchers could be competing for one or two jobs.
Outlook: The Blue Jays' roster is enviably balanced, albeit among the older ones in the league. Toronto led the AL in ERA last year. Their entire starting rotation returns, and their veteran bullpen is set up well to support second-year closer Osuna. Ironically, the youngest player in the Jays' starting lineup, 26-year-old Travis, has the biggest health concern of the bunch. He didn't appear in a spring training game until recently because of offseason knee surgery. Encarnacion, who was good for .270/30/100 every year, will be missed. The question now is whether Morales (33), Bautista (36), Tulowitzki (32) and Martin (34) are still close enough to their primes to power another playoff run.
ST LOUIS: 2016: 86-76, second place
Manager: Mike Matheny (sixth season)
Who's new? OF Dexter Fowler, C Eric Fryer, LH Brett Cecil
Who's gone? 1B Brandon Moss, OF Matt Holliday, OF Jeremy Hazelbaker, RHP Jaime Garcia, RHP Seth Maness, RHP Jerome Williams
Projected lineup: CF Dexter Fowler (.276, 13 HR, 48 RBI, 13 SB with Cubs), SS Aledmys Diaz (.300, 17, 65), 1B Matt Carpenter (.271, 21, 68), RF Stephen Piscotty (.273, 22, 85), C Yadier Molina (.307, 8, 58), 3B Jedd Gyorko (.243, 30, 59), 2B Kolten Wong (.240, 5, 23), LF Randal Grichuk (.240, 24, 68)
Rotation: RH Carlos Martinez (16-9, 3.04 ERA), RH Adam Wainwright (13-9, 4.62), RH Mike Leake (9-12, 4.69), RH Michael Wacha (7-7, 5.09), RH Lance Lynn (did not pitch - Tommy John surgery)
Key relievers: RH Seung-hwan Oh (6-3, 1.92 ERA 19/23 SV), LH Kevin Siegrist (6-3, 2.77), RH Trevor Rosenthal (2-4, 4.46, 14/18 SV), LH Brett Cecil (1-7, 3.93 with Blue Jays), RH Jonathan Broxton (4-2, 4.30), RH Matt Bowman (2-5, 3.46), RH Miguel Socolovich (1-0, 2.00)
Hot spots: Rotation. The back end looked like a big leap of faith when spring training began. Wainwright and Wacha are coming off their worst seasons. Another 2013 World Series mainstay, Lynn, didn't pitch last season as he recovered from Tommy John surgery. Then, on the first day of camp, 22-year-old right-hander Alex Reyes learned he needed Tommy John himself. That leaves a lot of question marks after ace Martinez ' more than any Cardinals staff has faced in years.
Outlook: This 40-man roster hints at a team in transition. Venerable 34-year-old catcher Molina is still St. Louis' biggest star. Reyes' injury hurts the youth movement, but the Cardinals are still stacked with talented 20-something sluggers ' Piscotty, Diaz, Gyorko and Grichuk ' who could emerge as household names. Adding Fowler's speed and patience should complement an already deep lineup. The pitching staff is a different matter. Barring a big resurgence from Wainwright, Lynn and Wacha (or a big trade) it's hard to see the Cardinals contending for more than a wild card spot in the Cubs' shadow.
PREVIEW
Blue Jays, Cardinals set for doubleheader
 

ST. LOUIS -- Jose Martinez belted his first major league homer Tuesday night, but the St. Louis Cardinals' rookie was in no mood to celebrate.

Martinez blamed himself for the throwing error by shortstop Aledmys Diaz in the 11th inning that led to the winning run in the Toronto Blue Jays' 6-5 victory at Busch Stadium. An outfielder by trade, Martinez was playing first base after being inserted as part of a double-switch before the seventh inning.

"That ball should have been caught," Martinez said. "I did my best and I'll do my best next time to try and make that play. I think I wasn't ready for that situation, and I should be in the game and take care of that ball, and not let the runner from second base score."

While Martinez may have made an error of omission based on inexperience at the position -- he learned it on the fly in spring training to help earn his first Opening Day roster spot -- it's hard to argue that Martinez hasn't earned more at-bats.

The 28-year old Martinez, who's hitting .375 in 32 at-bats with a homer and four RBIs, figures to start at least one of Thursday's two games in a day-night doubleheader with Toronto after Wednesday night's postponement due to the threat of severe weather.

St. Louis (9-11) called the game around noon Wednesday with two to three inches of rain expected. Well before the scheduled 7:15 p.m. start, heavy thunderstorms pelted downtown, validating the club's decision to bang the game quickly.

Four errors by St. Louis, which has 18 in the first 20 games, were the main storyline Tuesday night. The Cardinals spoke throughout spring training of cleaning up their defense, but only Pittsburgh among National League teams has more errors than St. Louis.

In the first game, the Cardinals will march Carlos Martinez (0-3, 4.76) to the mound opposite Mat Latos (0-0, 7.20).

Martinez has lost his last three starts since firing 7 1/3 scoreless innings on Opening Night against the Chicago Cubs. He has faced Toronto once in his career, retiring the only two batters he faced in a relief role in June 2014.

Latos is 5-6 with a 5.76 earned run average in 13 career starts against St. Louis while pitching for San Diego, Cincinnati and Miami. He got a no-decision Friday night in his first start for Toronto at the Los Angeles Angels, allowing four runs in five innings.

In the night game, Adam Wainwright (1-3, 6.27) goes for the Cardinals against rookie righthander Casey Lawrence (0-2, 7.56).

Wainwright snapped a three-game skid Friday night in Milwaukee with a 6-3 win, lasting five innings and fanning nine. He has faced the Blue Jays once in his career, allowing three homers in a 5-0 defeat on June 24, 2010 at Rogers Centre.

The 29-year old Lawrence made his first big league start Saturday night, falling 5-4 to the Angels as he allowed eight hits and five runs over 6 1/3 innings.

Toronto can win its first series of the season by managing a doubleheader split Thursday.

"It's been a rough start for us, but the guys have showed up every night and played hard," manager John Gibbons said.
