Blue Jays get concerning update on injured shortstop originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here. The Toronto Blue Jays have jumped out to a 2-0 series lead over the New York Yankees in the ALDS despite not having star shortstop Bo Bichette.

The Jays are making their U.S. debut on Fox this season during their playoff series with New York. The TV team is ready to make the intro.

The Blue Jays outscored the Yankees, 23-8, in two postseason games in Toronto over the weekend and are 8-1 at home against the Yankees this season overall. “Unless you can prove it, shut up,” Kay said of claims by some of the Yankees and even vague references by media members that the Blue Jays were doing something illegal or unethical.

Toronto rookie Trey Yesavage set a franchise postseason record by striking out 11 batters in 5 1/3 no-hit innings Sunday, helping the Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 13-7 for a 2-0 lead in the ALDS.

The Blue Jays are up 2-0 in the best-of-five American League Division Series, but the white panel hats are on a five-game winning streak. If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

The Toronto Blue Jays look like a team that could follow in the footsteps of the 1992 and 1993 World Series champions.

Like the Yankees, the Blue Jays also have a big home-field advantage because their fans show up and they’re really into it. Unlike opponents, the Blue Jays are used to playing on their turf. All of that makes it very challenging for opposing pitchers.

Daulton Varsho, a Marshfield native and UW-Milwaukee alumnus, has been massive for the Toronto Blue Jays thus far in the MLB postseason.
