Blue Jays' Joe Biagini will make his first MLB start on Sunday

The Toronto Blue Jays are having relief pitcher Joe Biagini make his first MLB start on Sunday versus the Tampa Bay Rays.

What It Means:

With J.A. Happ and Aaron Sanchez on the disabled list and Marcus Stroman likely going there too, the Jays are in desperate need of rotation help. Biagini was a starter in the minor leagues but hasn't pitched more than two innings in a game since 2015. He did own a 2.42 ERA in 22 games started with Double-A Richmond that year.

Biagini owns a 3.38 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 17 strikeouts, and one save in 18 2/3 innings pitched this season.
