Toronto Blue Jays reliever Aaron Loup is expected to be back with the team for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series against the Kansas City Royals, manager John Gibbons told reporters Thursday.

The left-hander missed Games 4 and 5 of the ALCS due to a family issue that also kept him away from the team for parts of the ALDS against the Texas Rangers.

Loup has appeared in four postseason games for the Blue Jays, allowing his first run in the eighth inning of the Royals' 6-3 Game 2 victory Saturday.
