The Toronto Blue Jays begin a nine-game road trip with a stop in Milwaukee to take on the Brewers. The Blue Jays have been hit hard by injuries, losing key players like Alejandro Kirk, Addison Barger, and George Springer. They'll turn to ace Kevin Gausman to try and get the road trip started on a high note against Brewers pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, who has been dominant so far this season.

Why it matters

The Blue Jays are struggling with a depleted roster due to injuries, putting pressure on their remaining healthy players to step up and keep the team competitive as they embark on a crucial nine-game road trip. A strong start against the Brewers could help get the Blue Jays back on track.

The details

The Blue Jays will send Kevin Gausman to the mound, who is looking to bounce back after a tough outing against the Dodgers in his last start. The Brewers will counter with Jacob Misiorowski, a hard-throwing right-hander who has been one of the best pitchers in baseball so far this season. Toronto's lineup will be without the injured George Springer, so Ernie Clement will lead off, followed by Daulton Varsho, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Jesús Sánchez, Eloy Jiménez, and Nathan Lukes.

  • The Blue Jays begin a nine-game road trip on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.
  • First pitch is scheduled for 7:40 PM ET.
