Devon Travis (knee) returns for Blue Jays in Game 1 of ALCS, batting ninth

Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Devon Travis (knee) is back in the lineup for Friday's Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against the Cleveland Indians.

What It Means:

A sore right knee has kept Travis on the sidelines since Game 1 of the ALDS, but treatment and some rest have served him well. He slides down to the ninth spot in Toronto's lineup, with Ezequiel Carrera continuing to lead off.

numberFire's MLB Team Power Rankings currently give the Blue Jays the third-highest odds of winning the World Series at 17.4 percent. Travis managed one hit in 10 plate appearances in the two games he played this postseason.
