Blue Jays' Jose Bautista: Back in the lineup Monday

Bautista (thigh) is back in the lineup Monday against the Phillies.

Analysis:

As expected, Bautista will return to action after dealing with a minor thigh issue over the weekend. He'll serve as the DH, however, and it's unclear when he'll return to playing the field. Bautista will bat in the lead off spot against Philadelphia's Jerad Eickhoff, replacing Ezequiel Carrera, who had hit atop the lineup in each of the previous three games.
