Player News
Blue Jays
Ricky Romero (TOR - P)

News: Romero walked four consecutive batters in the sixth inning of his most recent start at Triple-A Buffalo, erasing an otherwise encouraging outing, Sportsnet reports.  (RotoWire - Thu. May 23, 2013)
Melky Cabrera (TOR - LF)

News: Cabrera, who was held out of the starting lineup to rest his sore legs, struck out in his only at-bat as a pinch hitter Wednesday.  (RotoWire - Thu. May 23, 2013)
Jose Bautista (TOR - RF)

News: Bautista has been able to beat the defensive shifts employed against him by opposing teams recently without changing his approach at the plate, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports. "If I get behind in the count and the game situation warrants it, maybe I just let the ball travel," Bautista said. "It's not that I'm trying to hit that hole (created by the shift), that's not what I'm getting paid to do and that's not my approach at the plate."  (RotoWire - Thu. May 23, 2013)
Twins
Vance Worley (MIN - P)

News: Worley gave up eight runs over 3.2 innings in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta as his ERA rose to 7.21. He was optioned to Triple-A Rochester after the outing, MLB.com reports.  (RotoWire - Wed. May 22, 2013)

News: Morneau was 2 for 4 in the Twins' 5-4 loss to the Braves on Tuesday.  (STATS - Wed. May 22, 2013)
