Saunders is not in Thursday's lineup, as he is dealing with a hamstring injury, Blue Jays radio announcer Mike Wilner reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to manager John Gibbons, Saunders felt the hamstring lock up on him Wednesday, and so he'll be held out with the issue Thursday. The extent of the injury is not known, but he should be considered day-to-day until more information becomes available. Ezekiel Carrera is manning right field in his stead, while Jose Bautista was activated off the DL and is set to DH on Thursday.
