Chris Cotillo

It certainly seems like this is something that maybe he could have gone on the IL at this point, but obviously he's a tough player and the Blue Jays need him right now.

So it sounds like he's just trying to push through it.

If you appreciate such a thing, you have until noon today to vote for the first round of all-star voting at MLB.com slash vote.

That ends today.

At noon, and then the top two at each position go into a vote-off.

If Ernie Clement remains the American League leader in votes, he gets an automatic all-star bid regardless of how that second phase plays out.

And you won't get to vote during tonight's game because, again, vote against at noon.

But a fun one where Ernie Clement and Ezekiel Duran are head-to-head tonight, and they are the top two vote-getters at second base in the American League.

Elsewhere on the farm mentioned yesterday, I think that Arjun Amal is starting a rehab assignment soon.

He'd been on the AA injured list with a hamstring issue.

Sean Keyes hit his 19th and 20th home runs yesterday.

Jay Harry has also been very, very hot since arriving at AAA.

Jay Harry maybe has another, a different path to playing time because he can play the middle infield.

He's played some shorts up some second base, uh,

And there is obviously an easier path there than as a first base, third base DH type like Sean Keyes is.

John Schneider quipped yesterday that, hey, we were playing Spencer Horowitz at second base not that long ago.

You can find spots for guys.

Josh Kasovich has also started to turn a bit of a corner offensively, another guy who is a middle infielder.

So good that your guys are hitting at AAA, but...

Not a clear path for any of them immediately, especially the lefty corner types because the Blue Jays are flush with those as well.
