Toronto Blue Jays designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (finger), catcher Russell Martin and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki are out of the lineup Thursday, SportsNet's Barry Davis reports.

Analysis:

The Blue Jays are resting some key players Thursday in advance of this weekend's series against the Yankees. Ryan Goins will start at shortstop Thursday and Tulowitzki should be back in the lineup Friday.

Encarnacion is available to pinch hit if needed, as the Blue Jays will give him one more day to rest the finger. Chris Colabello will get the start at DH Thursday, and it sounds like Encarnacion could return for the start of this weekend's series against the Yankees.
