Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista will be back in the lineup for Game 2 of the ALDS, according to Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi. He was removed from Game 1 after suffering a hamstring injury.
Bautista remains one of the most dangerous power hitters in baseball while also being one of the most patient. The six-time All-Star finished the 2015 season with more walks (110) than strikeouts (106) while bashing 40 home runs with a .536 slugging percentage.
The Blue Jays have the league’s best offense, finishing the regular season with 891 runs scored.
Bautista was susceptible to injuries for a two-year stretch, missing 114 games between 2012 and 2013, but he played 155 games last year and was on the field for 153 games this season. Toronto’s World Series hopes likely rest on him staying in the lineup.
