Blue Jays call on Trevor Richards to start vs. Rangers

The Toronto Blue Jays will ship Trevor Richards to the mound as a starter on Saturday in opposition to the Texas Rangers.

This might be Richards’ second stint as a starter within the span of 1 week. The 30-year-old took the mound on June 10 in opposition to the Minnesota Twins. In three innings, Richards struck out seven of the 11 batters he confronted and allowed one hit as Toronto earned a 9-4 win over Minnesota.

Outfielder Kevin Kiermaier additionally returns to motion, after being changed by Daulton Varsho in Friday’s 2-1 win within the sequence opener. Varsho strikes to left area whereas Whit Merrifield takes over for Santiago Espinal at second base.

First pitch for the second of the three-game sequence is scheduled at 4:05 p.m. ET / 1:05 p.m. PT on Sportsnet and SN NOW.
