The Blue Jays are bringing Anthony Santander back to the starting lineup.
Santander will bat fifth as the designated hitter against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday.
After missing two games with hip soreness, the 30-year-old outfielder entered Saturday's game against the Tigers as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning and was intentionally walked.
Santander missed last weekend's games in Seattle due to a shoulder issue before returning for three games and then his hip became the problem.
Santander has struggled this season with a .187 average, five homers and 16 RBI.
