The Toronto Blue Jays aren't going to make any changes after a successful American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers.
Toronto will use the same roster it finished the ALDS with when the Blue Jays open up the ALCS against the Kansas City Royals on Friday.
Right-hander Marco Estrada will take the hill for Game 1, followed by David Price, Marcus Stroman, and R.A. Dickey.
