Blue Jays' Devon Travis: Set for first spring game Friday

Travis (knee) is in the Grapefruit League lineup for the first time this spring Friday, playing second base and batting seventh, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

The keystone defender likely will play the field for approximately five innings after doing the same Wednesday during his stretch of minor league tests. If Travis does enough in the coming days to prove he can handle the physical workload of close to a full outing, the late-round lotto ticket in mixed leagues could exceed expectations and start the season on time.
