The Blue Jays are still trying to climb their way out of the early-season struggles.They are just 29-33 for the season and could use some help at the trade deadline.
There are questions about where the help will come from and in what form.However, I expect ownership to make a move to try and push them back to grabbing at least a wild card spot.
Maybe they just need to be healthy; they have three starting pitchers on the injured list.The team was just 29-29 before losing their last four games.

(Rick Osentoski/Imagn Images)Tonight, DraftKings has Mason Fluharty listed as their starter.That means this is essentially a bullpen game for the Blue Jays.
I can’t expect the "starter" to go deep into this one, considering he hasn’t pitched more than 1.1 innings in a game this season.He also pitched on Tuesday.
The bullpen should be fairly fresh, though.In the series, they’ve only tossed 5 innings.
Someone on the team will likely go three or four innings, even if they get rocked.They kind of have to do it.
Overall, the Toronto bullpen is about average in the league. The Atlanta Braves have been rolling this season.It was a bit of a disaster last year, at least in part due to the injury bug, but we’ve known this is a talented team for years.
Are they going to coast to a division title? It is possible.The Phillies have at least started putting pressure on Atlanta, but the Braves still have the biggest division lead in baseball.
We all know that divisions aren’t won in June, but for now, the team is rolling.BRAVES' CHRIS SALE REACHES 2,500 STRIKEOUTS FASTER THAN ANY PITCHER IN MLB HISTORYAtlanta Braves pitcher Chris Sale pitches during the second inning of the second game in a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Phillies in Philadelphia ...
