The only change on both sides of the ALCS rosters is that Dioner Navarro catch for the Toronto Blue Jays for Wednesday’s Game 5.
Navarro is usually the battery-mate for Marco Estrada and he will on Wednesday. The catcher will bat seventh right behind Troy Tulowitzki and in front of Kevin Pillar. The 31-year-old went 1-for-5 in the ALDS and is 0-for-4 against the Kansas City Royals so far.

It’s win or go home for Toronto on Wednesday. It is down 3-1 in the series and must rally off three wins in a row in order to advance to the World Series. The Jays need a solid pitching performance after allowing 14 runs to the Royals on Tuesday. Estrada will have his usual catcher, which could help even though he allowed three runs during his first outing in the series.
The Blue Jays lineup: Ben Revere LF, Josh Donaldson 3B, Jose Bautista RF, Edwin Encarnacion DH, Chris Colabello 1B, Troy Tulowitzki SS, Navarro C, Kevin Pillar CF, Ryan Goins 2B.
