The Toronto Blue Jays return home to begin a three-game set against the surging Boston Red Sox. Here's what you need to know ahead of the pivotal series. (By Mkor1980)

for three games before welcoming the Tampa Bay Rays to Rogers Centre for a rare five-game series. The Tampa series includes a doubleheader, meaning Toronto plays eight games in seven days.

The Blue Jays come home after a 2-4 road trip against the Chicago White Sox and Milwaukee Brewers. Jose Berrios was bad for a second start in a row on Sunday against Milwaukee, and Yusei Kikuchi has been terrible all of June -- his next turn on Thursday has to be considered in serious doubt. To make matters worse, the Blue Jays bullpen is short-handed and running on fumes after back-to-back short outings by Kikuchi and Berrios this weekend.

Seabold was pulled after one inning in his start for triple-A Worcester on Friday. He has allowed two runs in his past 21 innings.

Blue Jays' Berrios latest starter unable to pull his weight in loss to BrewersHere the Toronto Blue Jays are, not even halfway through the season, with seven pitchers on the injured list, a bullpen half made up of guys that were in triple-A last month, and two-fifths of a rotation struggling to provide innings — let alone put the team in position to win. ArdenZwelling WOW, ACCORDING TO SOME MLB SCOUTS VANDERBILT HAS BETTER OVERALL PITCHING. ArdenZwelling Only two up on Cleveland for the last wildcard berth, but tied with them in the loss column.
