Patrick Corbin will make his second start since joining Toronto.

Though he was a free agent all offseason until signing with the Blue Jays on April 3, Corbin had been staying on top of his throwing program while awaiting an opportunity.

He needed just one four-inning appearance in the minors at Single-A Dunedin before the Blue Jays were comfortable calling him up last Friday to aid an injury-plagued rotation.

In his Blue Jays debut the Twins roughed Corbin up for four runs on six hits and one walk over four innings, but the veteran lefty will get a second chance at redemption this afternoon, while the Blue Jays wait for Trey Yesavage (shoulder) to return from the injured list.

Right-hander Brandon Sproat gets the ball for the Brew Crew this afternoon.

In his last outing the 25-year old picked up a knee injury during his relief outing Saturday against Washington.

It was his best showing of the campaign so far with one run allowed on four hits and three walks over 3.2 innings, but he checked out fine when evaluated Sunday.

Sproat will re-enter the rotation and will likely need another decent showing against Toronto to solidify his place in Milwaukee's starting five going forward.
