Blue Jays Facing Trade Decision After Injury News on Thursday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Blue Jays aren't just hot; they could rule over the AL soon. They're tied with the Houston Astros for the league's best record ahead of their clash with the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, who trail them by a half-game.

Tarik Skubal threw 6 scoreless innings (helped by a Matt Vierling web gem) but Tigers hitters mustered two hits in a 6-1 loss.

The Toronto Blue Jays have firm control of the AL East Division while the New York Yankees are dealing with what could be a critical injury.

Friday's 6-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers held plenty of heroes, once again. Eight Toronto players recorded a hit.

They can run from Thursday's Trade Deadline, but they cannot hide. It’s on the TV, it’s in their phones, it’s in the clubhouse air.

The Toronto Blue Jays beat the Detroit Tigers on Friday night 6-2 at Comerica Park, improving to 20 games over .500 at 62-42. The Jays have the best record in the American League, while the Tigers have lost 11 of 12 to surrender that distinction.

To be clear, the Toronto Blue Jays infielder will be spectating at Hall of Fame induction weekend. That's because his dad is Billy Wagner, the fireballing relief pitcher getting his plaque this weekend in the quaint New York setting. The Blue Jays have brought Alan Roden to join them in Wagner's temporary place.
