Jose Bautista returns to Friday's lineup for Toronto
Toronto Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista is back in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs.
After getting a routine night off on Thursday, Bautista will return to play right and hit lead off against the Cubs' Jake Arrieta. As he does so, he'll send Nori Aoki back to Toronto's bench.
Bautista is 0-for-13 in 18 career plate appearances against today's starter. And, if that wasn't enough to scare you away, the Blue Jays have an implied total of just 4.02 runs this afternoon at Wrigley.
