With Opening Day less than a week away, the Toronto Blue Jays have set their rotation to begin the season.

Gausman had been announced as Toronto’s opening-day starter earlier this spring. But with injuries to the likes of Shane Bieber, José Berríos and Trey Yesavage over the last two months, the Blue Jays’ rotation has been an evolving group in the lead-up to the regular season.

The five-man order sets Gausman, Cease and Lauer to take the ball in Toronto’s opening series against the Athletics. After which, Ponce and Scherzer will start against the Colorado Rockies.

If the rotation were to stay on turn through Toronto’s first four series, then Scherzer, Gausman and Cease would be lined up to face the Los Angeles Dodgers in a World Series rematch from April 6 to 8 at Rogers Centre.

Schneider also said Saturday that Lauer will start an intrasquad game on Monday, looking to throw roughly five innings, per Sportsnet’s Shi Davidi.

Both Scherzer and Ponce are also expected to make an additional start in minor-league camp next week, with Toronto’s Grapefruit League schedule wrapping up on Sunday.
