WHO ELSE IS PLAYING IN THE GAME

Blue Jays have a surprising number of regulars who will appear including Bo Bichette, Andres Gimenez, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Alejandro Kirk, and Ernie Clement.
Joey Loperfido (CF), Nathan Lukes (RF), Orelvis Martniez (DH), and Davis Schneider (LF) are also in the starting lineup for the
Blue Jays.
The full lineup is
Bichette
Gimenez
Guerrero
Kirk
Loperfido
Clement
Schneider
Lukes
Martinez
WILL THE GAME BE TELEVISED
Yes. the game will be viewable on SportsNet.
The game can also be heard on SportsNet Radio Network.
One player to watch is Easton Lucas. The
Blue Jays are stretching him out this spring in the wake of Adam Macko's injury. Results don't matter as much during Spring Training, so if Lucas can prove himself a capable starter, it would go a long way in providing depth for the Blue Jays.
Orelvis Martinez, who is DHing today, will be the other player to keep an eye on.
WHAT ELSE
While it hasn't been announced who else will be appearing, expect Lucas to go about two or three innings and the position players to go about three or four.
