Blue Jays' Jose Bautista: Out of the lineup after early exit Thursday

Bautista (thigh) is out of the Friday's lineup after leaving Thursday's game early, but is available off the bench, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

Bautista exited Thursday with tightness in his thigh, but there's no indication that he'll need to miss any significant time. Ezequiel Carrera will get the start at right field and leadoff in Bautista's place.
