Blue Jays' Francisco Liriano: On track to return for Game 2

Liriano's (head) bullpen session Thursday went off with no issues and he is on track to return for Game 2 of the ALCS, John Lott of Vice Sports reports.

Analysis:

Liriano's expected return for Game 2 is a major boon for the Blue Jays' staff. He'll face an Indians club that had a league-average OPS against southpaws on the season at .748. Liriano can be used as a long reliever should one of Toronto's starters fail to make it deep into the game.
