Toronto Blue Jays vs San Diego Padres Starting Lineup — Saturday, Jul 11, 2026

Toronto has a handful of prior looks at Walker Buehler, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. standing out at 1-for-2 with a 2.500 OPS and Daulton Varsho at 1-for-3 with a 1.666 OPS. Nathan Lukes is 1-for-3 in 4 PA with an .833 OPS, while George Springer is 1-for-8 in 9 PA with a .125 average and .722 OPS. Ernie Clement is hitless, going 0-for-4 in 5 PA with a .200 OPS, Andrés Giménez is 1-for-5 with a .200 average and .400 OPS, and Jonatan Clase is hitless at 0-for-1 in 2 PA with a .500 OPS. Kazuma Okamoto and Alejandro Kirk have no MLB history vs Buehler.

San Diego’s lineup has no MLB history at all against Trey Yesavage. Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, Xander Bogaerts, Manny Machado, Gavin Sheets, Ty France, Jake Cronenworth, Luis Campusano, and Sung-Mun Song have not previously faced him in the majors.

The Blue Jays clearly bring more familiarity into this matchup, with seven hitters owning at least some prior plate appearances against Buehler. The Padres, by contrast, are seeing Yesavage for the first time across the board.
