David Price will be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday’s Game 5 of the ALCS against the Kansas City Royals.
The Toronto Blue Jays starter pitched Game 2 and was dominant for six innings until it all came a part in the seventh. The left-hander was tagged for five innings in the seventh as the Royals went on to win 6-3. The Jays are now one game away from being eliminated. There’s a good chance Toronto will go to Price at some point.
All hands on deck for #BlueJays. David Price available out of bullpen per Gibbons.

The only pitcher who likely isn't available is Liam Hendriks, who threw 59 pitches over 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief in Game 4 on Tuesday because R.A. Dickey was knocked around for five runs without getting out of the second inning.
Marco Estrada will be on the mound for the Jays in Toronto on Wednesday. He is 1-1 this postseason, losing Game 1 while allowing three runs in 5 1/3 innings. He had a 2.92 ERA in two regular-season starts against Kansas City.
