Analysis:

Toronto's folk hero and his unique, to say the least, pregame calisthenic routine is back with the big club for the first time this season. Currently, the infield is ailing, with knowledge that Maicer Izturis (knee) is out four-to-six months. Although Jose Reyes (hamstring) is nearing the end of his own recovery, Kawasaki will provide middle infield depth for at least the remainder of the week, and possibly longer.
