CF Cal Doty (25-L) has been cleared to play by Trudy the Trainer! So he was activated from the DL and LF Joe Roberts (31-L), 1 for 14 (.073) since being call up, was sent back to Daytona (A).
The first returns of the All-Star balloting have been released by the League and no one from the Jays is listed among the leaders.... I am hopeful, though, that we will get at least one player on the roster this season. RP Bill Grant (31-L) is certainly pitching well enough. CF Cal Doty and 3B Marty Eades (30-R) were candidates before they went down with injury. Rookie Glen Lewis (21-L) and P Jim Baucom (20-L) have a chance if they step it up in June. 3B Brian Porter is hitting well enough, but needs to keep it up, which is doubtful, and he has only started 16 games.
Jacksonville Jays (20-29 .408 11 GB in 6th place in the Southern Division) at
Buffalo Bombers (24-25 .490 4 GB in 7th place in the Northern Division)
