Marcus Semien leading off for Blue Jays on Opening Day
Toronto Blue Jays infielder Marcus Semien is playing second base and batting leadoff versus right-hander Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees on Opening Day.
What It Means:
George Springer (oblique) is on the injured list to start the year, so Semien will handle leadoff duties for Toronto to start the year. The Blue Jays' full Opening Day lineup: Semien 2B, Cavan Biggio 3B, Bo Bichette SS, Teoscar Hernandez RF, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. 1B, Lourdes Gurriel Jr LF, Rowdy Tellez DH, Randal Grichuk CF, Danny Jansen C. Hyun-Jin Ryu is on the mound.
