Toronto has lost his last four starts where he has given up 12 earned runs in 24 innings.

In three career appearances against the Rangers, including one start, Biagini is 1-1 with an ERA of 1.93.

<p>
Tyson Ross gets the nod for the Rangers and his last start was his season debut going five innings and giving up two earned runs on only two hits in a 10-4 win over the Seattle Mariners. He has had shoulder issues and only pitched once last season and in 2014 while with the San Diego Padres he won 13 games. Ross’ only career start against the Blue Jays was way back in 2012 while with the Oakland A’s where he took a loss after going five innings and giving up three runs.
