TORONTO — Marco Estrada will get the start for Toronto when the Blue Jays open their American League division series against Texas tomorrow.
The Blue Jays have announced their rotation for the first four games of the best-of-five series.
J.A. Happ will pitch in Game 2 on Friday, and Aaron Sanchez will start when the series shifts to Toronto for Game 3 on Sunday.
Marcus Stroman, who started Toronto's 5-2 wild-card win over Baltimore, will pitch in Game 4 if necessary.
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons also said closer Roberto Osuna is feeling better, and the shoulder tweak that caused him to leave yesterday's wild-card game is not a serious issue.
