Aug 4, 2023 | 10:17 AM

BOSTON — Right-handed reliever Jay Jackson is returning to the Toronto Blue Jays lineup after a brief stint on family medical emergency list.

Jackson’s son JR was born prematurely in early July.

Infielder Davis Schneider was selected to the Blue Jays’ major-league roster and will be active for tonight’s game in Boston.

If Schneider plays it will be his MLB debut. He’s hitting .275 with 21 home runs this season in triple-A.
