KEY GAME INFORMATION
TEXAS: 2016: 95-67, first place
Manager: Jeff Banister (third season)
Who's new? 1B Mike Napoli, 1B James Loney, INF Will Middlebrooks, RHP Andrew Cashner, RHP Tyson Ross, RHP Mike Hauschild
Who's gone? 1B Mitch Moreland, INF/OF Ian Desmond, OF/DH Carlos Beltran, RHP Derek Holland, RHP Colby Lewis, RHP Shawn Tolleson, RHP Lucas Harrell
Projected lineup: CF Carlos Gomez (.231, 13 HR, 53 RBI, 18 SB in 118 games with Astros and Rangers), DH Shin-Soo Choo (.242, 7, 17, 6 in 48 games), 3B Adrian Beltre (.300, 32, 104), 1B Mike Napoli (.239, 34, 101 with Indians), 2B Rougned Odor (.271, 33, 88, 14 SB), C Jonathan Lucroy (.292, 24, 81 with Brewers and Rangers), RF Nomar Mazara (.266, 20, 64), SS Elvis Andrus (.302, 8, 69, 24 SB), LF Jurickson Profar (.239, 5, 20) or Ryan Rua (.258, 8, 22, 9 SB)
Rotation: LH Cole Hamels (15-5, 3.32 ERA), RH Yu Darvish (7-5, 3.42 in 17 games), LH Martin Perez (10-11, 4.39), RH A.J. Griffin (7-4, 5.07), RH Andrew Cashner (5-11, 5.25 with Padres and Marlins)
Key relievers: RH Sam Dyson (3-2, 2.43, 38/43 SV), RH Matt Bush (7-2, 2.48), RH Jeremy Jeffress (27/28 SV with Brewers and Rangers), RH Tony Barnette (7-3, 2.09), LH Alex Claudio (4-1, 2.79), RH Keone Kela (5-1, 6.09)
Hot spots: Designated hitter and left field. Choo, Napoli and Joey Gallo are all candidates to DH. Gallo, a perennial prospect with prodigious power, can make it interesting by seizing his first-ever Opening Day roster spot. Otherwise Napoli (a first baseman) and Choo (an outfielder) can switch off as needed. Moving Desmond to the outfield was successful enough last year that the Rangers are taking a similar approach with Profar. The oft-injured 24-year-old will try to break camp as a left fielder, platooning with Rua.
Outlook: Coming off back-to-back division titles, the Rangers begin 2017 with a weakened farm system and the footsteps of the Astros and Mariners passing them by ' or at least catching up. There's still a lot to like here. Napoli was a huge bargain on a $6 million contract following his 34-homer season in Cleveland. He'll join Beltre and Odor to form a dangerous middle of the order. Darvish is entering his first full season back from Tommy John surgery, and he and catcher Lucroy are entering their long-awaited walk years. This isn't the deepest roster in the AL but it's capable of winning another division title if its stars can avoid the disabled list.
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.
PREVIEW
Injured stars set to return as Jays host Rangers
 

TORONTO -- The Toronto Blue Jays hope to greet the Texas Rangers on Friday night at the Rogers Centre with a long-missing one-two combination.

The expectation is that the Blue Jays will have the left side of their infield back in the lineup for the first time since mid-April. Third baseman Josh Donaldson is set to return from a calf injury, and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki is due back from a hamstring ailment.

It will be the teams' first meeting since the Blue Jays swept the Rangers in three games to win a head-to-head matchup in the American League Division Series for the second successive year.

"The plan is for those guys to play tomorrow," Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins told Sportsnet radio on Thursday regarding Donaldson and Tulowitzki. "That will be a great addition to our team."

The two injured regulars, who were playing with Class A Dunedin on rehab assignments, are expected to be reinstated from the disabled list Friday to face Rangers starter A.J. Griffin (4-1, 5.02 ERA).

Griffin is 2-0 with a 2.39 ERA in five career starts against the Blue Jays, including 1-0 with a 1.53 ERA in three starts at the Rogers Centre.

The Blue Jays (21-26) counter with Mike Bolsinger (0-2, 6.32 ERA) as they open a 10-game homestand. Bolsinger has never faced the Rangers (24-24).

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said the return of Donaldson and Tulowitzki would be a lift to his team, which completed its first winning road trip of the season (4-3) by completing a two-game sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday.

"These other guys have filled in and done a great job, but every team is built a certain way," Gibbons said. "You have your core guys, and if you're going to do anything, you're going to need a lot of those guys. I think everyone will be glad to see them. The clubhouse will get louder."

Donaldson has been out April 13 and Tulowitzki since April 21.

Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis takes a nine-game hitting streak into Friday. He is batting .459 with eight doubles, two homers and nine RBIs in that span.

Toronto right fielder Jose Bautista has reached base in 16 consecutive games, batting .382 with six home runs, 14 RBIs, 16 runs, four doubles and a 1.274 OPS.

Griffin is 2-1 with a 5.64 ERA in four starts in May after a stint on the disabled list caused by gout in his left ankle.

His task is to end the Rangers' three-game losing streak after the Boston Red Sox completed a sweep of Texas with a 6-2 victory at Fenway Park on Thursday night.

"Forget about this one and move on," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "Three games of not the brand of baseball we want to play."

The Rangers struck out 20 times Thursday, which was a club record for a nine-inning game and matched the major league record.

"I don't really think we had the best approach through the game," said Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus, who struck out three times but also homered. "We needed to make an adjustment real quick and have a better plan. But those guys pitched tough. You have to give credit to their pitchers, too."
