Herrera returns for Good Friday match up against Toronto

Odubel Herrera returns to the lineup for the first time since March 12

Starting Pitching Matchup:

Toronto Blue Jays (15-4)			Philadelphia Phillies (14-7)
RHP	Marco Estrada		RHP	Jeremy Hellickson
RHP	(0-0, 9.00 ERA)		RHP	(0-0, 1.29 ERA)

Opening Day starter Jeremy Hellickson makes what is likely his second to last appearance of the spring tonight against the always potent Toronto Blue Jays. The 28-year-old hurler has been fairly limited in the Grapefruit League, his third start at Bright House Field this spring, but has been effective enough to lock down the number one slot.

It is also a welcome return for Odubel Herrera who has been out since March 12 with a bruised middle finger. Herrera bats 5th tonight behind Darin Ruf at first base. Both Hellickson and Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada get to take a few hacks tonight at the plate as well.

Estrada brings a 9.00 ERA this spring to tonight's start. No Jose Bautista for the Jays but a challenging 1-2-3 punch in Kevin Pillar, Josh Donaldson, and Troy Tulowitzki is in store for Hellickson. Casey Kotchman is also still hanging around it appears and will man first base tonight.

Some good Friday night prime time action is in store. Just think this time next week, the Phillies will be at Citizens Bank Park hosting Baltimore. We're getting close.
