Toronto Blue Jays fans won't have to wait long for newly acquired Troy Tulowitzki to make his first plate appearance.

The shortstop is penciled in as the Jays lead-off hitter for Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies, followed by third baseman Josh Donaldson, while Jose Bautista is the designated hitter.

It will mark Tulowitzki's first career game as a lead-off hitter, replacing the role Jose Reyes previously held with the club.

The $20-million earner has recorded a slash line of .300/.348/.471 in 87 games this season, with 12 home runs and 53 RBIs.

The game gets underway from the Rogers Centre at 7:07 p.m. ET.
