Toronto will play three consecutive away matches against the Los Angeles Dodgers on the 25th and 27th, a rest day on the 28th, and three home matches against the Los Angeles Angels on the 29th and 31st. Ryu Hyun-jin is highly likely to make a comeback against the Angels. Toronto will play 17 consecutive games without a day off from the 29th to the 14th of August. Coach John Schneider and general manager Ross Atkins decided to use a six-man rotation during the 17-game series. It coincides with the time of Ryu Hyun-jin's return.
The rotation for three straight away matches against the Seattle Mariners on the 22nd and 24th is in the order of Yusei Kikuchi, Kevin Gaussman, and Alec Manoa. Kikuchi threw 14 innings three times in July, and is sluggish with 17 hits, 5 walks, and a 6.43 ERA. Gaussman canceled his first appearance in the second half of the 16th due to a side injury and will appear this time.
