Blue Jays' Marco Estrada: Pushed back to Friday
Estrada is now scheduled to start Friday against the Orioles, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
The Blue Jays did not immediately provide a reason for their decision to flip Estrada and R.A. Dickey in the rotation, but by pushing Estrada back, they'll buy him an additional two days between starts. Estrada was strong in his first start back from the DL, but he's dealt with the back issue throughout the year, and it seems like something the team may have to manage over the remaining two months of the regular season.
