PT TOMORROW: AL East—TOR taking Travis to the top

Toronto Blue Jays

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons has hinted broadly that as soon as Devon Travis (2B, TOR) is ready, he will ascend to the top of the Blue Jays’ order. Travis, of course, is just working his way back after shoulder surgery last September.
