Today's Toronto Blue Jays lineup versus the Boston Red Sox resembles what a regular season starting core may look like.
Blue Jays veteran Chris Bassitt gets the start today versus Red Sox starter Cooper Criswell. However the bigger story here is the return of Ernie Clement to spring training action today.
A wild pitch thrown by Tigers right-hander Ty Madden left Ernie Clement with a bruised and cut lip Monday, after a few days rest he is back in todays lineup.
"Ernie is doing well,» said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. «He dodged a bullet, literally. Well, not literally, but pretty close to literally. Just a little bit of swelling, but he's a hockey player at heart, so he's doing well."

Bo Bichette is back in the leadoff spot while George Springer will be hitting cleanup for the first time this spring.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr and Anthony Santander remain in the two and three spots with Santander batting behind Guerrero indicating that that will be the theme all season long providing much needed protection that Guerrero lacked last season.
