2020 will be an incomparable season for the BlueJays, but clinching a playoff berth in these circumstances will do wonders for the young core. ✍️: ShiDavidi

This is fun at the best times. Amid the havoc unleashed by COVID-19’s worldwide rampage, any bit of joy in the fight for normalcy is worth savouring all the more. That’s why bigger-picture discussions about how applicable what the Blue Jays have done this year is over a regular 162-game schedule can wait until all is said and done.

“It’s really rewarding when you see the success that we were able to translate from the minor-leagues to the big leagues,” said Biggio. “We have a lot of work to do. I think that we’re just scratching the surface on what we’re going to be able to do at this level. So to see it coming out this early on in our careers, it gives us a little glimpse of what we can end up doing in the future.”

He’s lined up to pitch the playoff opener, with Taijuan Walker and, if necessary, Matt Shoemaker, in all likelihood, to follow him. The Blue Jays still have three regular-season games to go, against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. Nate Pearson, just activated from the injured list, will need an outing and the status of Jordan Romano, slated to throw a bullpen Friday, will be closely watched. Rowdy Tellez will continue working back from his knee injury, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be ready in time for Tuesday.
