Cruz (calf) is in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Blue Jays, Shannon Drayer of MyNorthwest.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cruz is back in his normal spot as designated hitter and placed in the four spot behind Robinson Cano as the Mariners face right-hander Joe Biagini. The 36-year-old missed two straight games as a result of calf tightness, but should have no restrictions moving forward.
