Toronto Blue Jays second baseman Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is making his first major league start on Friday against the New York Yankees.
Gurriel was called up from Double-A today, and will crack the lineup right away at second base. He's hitting ninth against right-hander Sonny Gray. Devon Travis heads to the bench, and Gurriel could cut into his playing time moving forward.
In Double-A, Gurriel was hitting .347/.382/.510 with 1 home runs and 11 RBIs across 55 plate appearances. He's not eligible on FanDuel tonight.
