The Minnesota Twins will take on Louie Varland, Ty France and the first place Toronto Blue Jays Monday night. The BJs lead the Red Sox by 5 games in the AL East. The Twins will likely be facing a nearly full-strength Toronto Blue Jays lineup when they open the three-game series— with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. expected to return to everyday action.

After being fired as the Twins’ lone scapegoat last fall, David Popkins has the Blue Jays thriving at the plate—while Minnesota’s offense sinks further into the mire.

The Toronto Blue Jays are maintaining a solid lead over both the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees in the AL East. Right now, the Blue Jays have a five-game lead over the Red Sox as they attempt to finish the season on top of the division.
