TORONTO -- It will be the beginning of a reunion weekend of sorts when the Seattle Mariners open a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday.Mariners first baseman Adam Lind, who spent his first nine seasons with Toronto, will be returning to Rogers Centre for the first time as a player since being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers before the 2015 campaign.Blue Jays left fielder Michael Saunders, who was acquired from the Mariners in a deal before the 2015 season that sent J.A. Happ to Seattle, will be making his first appearance against his former team.Happ, who was traded by the Mariners to the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 31 last season, is scheduled to start the series finale on Sunday.This will not Linds first trip back to Toronto, however.My wifes from there, Lind told the Tacoma News Tribune, and I own some property there. So Ive been back.He also has been back to Rogers Centre.I was on the field last year around Christmas for Disney on Ice, Lind said, ... I was just watching but I saw all the same people who work there, you know. I got to see the security guards for the clubhouse and people like that.Lind has 15 homers and 43 RBI in 76 games with Seattle, while hitting .231/.264/.449. Well, my batting average stinks, he said. My on-base percentage stinks. Id say the other numbers are adequate.Lind has two of Seattles league-leading six walk-off homers this season.When the Blue Jays traded Lind after the 2014 season, they acquired right-handed pitcher Marco Estrada from the Brewers. He has developed into one the better starters in the majors and was selected to pitch in the All-Star Game before he went on the disabled list with a sore back.Estrada (5-3, 2.93 ERA) will be activated from the disabled list to get the nod on Friday after missing his final start before the All-Star break. He is 0-2 with a 7.35 ERA in his two career starts against Seattle.When Estrada was asked how his back felt, he said, Good enough.He will be facing Seattle left-hander James Paxton (2-4, 4.56 ERA) of Ladner, B.C., who will be making the third career start in his native country on Friday. He was the winning pitcher in a 3-2 victory in 2015 when he allowed two runs in six innings. In 2014, he allowed eight runs in 2 2/3 frames in a 14-4 loss. He is 1-1 with a 10.38 ERA in his two starts against the Blue Jays, both at Toronto.The Blue Jays are 3-2 since the All-Star break, winning three in a row to complete a five-game trip to Oakland and Arizona after dropping the first two contests to the Athletics. The Blue Jays have won seven of their past 10 games.Early on, youre trying to get back to playing, Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson said. Some guys had some days off, get back in the flow of things and we were able to take it back up pretty quick. We didnt play bad in Oakland. We lost two games, but they won those games. We didnt give those games to them.Its nice to finish strong here and were going to have a pretty good homestand, so hopefully it continues.Donaldson, who was in the All-Star Game, batted .381 (8-for-21) with one homer and seven RBI on the five-game trip, the only contests the Blue Jays will play on the road in July.The Mariners are 5-5 in their past 10 after a walk-off win over the Chicago White Sox Wednesday at Safeco Field. They are 48-47, third in the AL West.The Blue Jays were forced to play infielder Darwin Barney in left field on Wednesday when Saunders, who also was in the All-Star Game, returned to Toronto for a personal issue and Ezequiel Carrera had a sore Achilles tendon. Both are expected to be available on Friday. Marcus Davenport Jersey .

AUCKLAND, New Zealand -- Star flyhalf Dan Carter has again been forced by injury to miss an All Blacks test against France, conceding the No.10 jersey to Aaron Cruden for Saturdays first test at Eden Park. Carter suffered a cracked bone in his hand during a Super Rugby match last weekend and was omitted on Thursday from the All Blacks lineup for the match; the first meeting between the teams since New Zealands 8-7 win in the 2011 World Cup final. A serious groin injury forced Carter to miss that match, also handing the starting role to Cruden who in turn suffered a severe knee injury and was replaced. The All Blacks lineup named by coach Steve Hansen includes two uncapped players on the bench -- Hurricanes lock Jeremy Thrush and Chiefs prop Ben Afeaki. Hooker Dane Coles has been awarded his first test start, ahead of veterans Keven Mealamu and Andrew Hore, after making four previous test appearances off the bench. Mealamu has been named as reserve. Utility back Ben Smith, who has also played at centre and fullback, has been named on the right wing, allowing the New Zealand selectors to play the out-of-form Israel Dagg at fullback. The lineup is notable for the number of players chosen despite poor form during the Super Rugby season. Cruden will play outside scrumhalf Aaron Smith and inside centre Maa Nonu, both of whom have struggled to command starting places for the Dunedin-based Highlanders, the last-placed team in Super Rugby. Nonu will play his 77th test, renewing his long-standing midfield combination with 66-test veteran Conrad Smith, to provide the nucleus of a backline that is otherwise light on experience. Julian Savea has been named on the left wing for his 10th test match after a disrupted season during which he has appeared in court on charges of domestic violence. Kieran Read will captain the team from No. 8 in his 49th test and in the absence of Richie McCaw, who is taking a "sabbatical" from top rugby and wont return until the Rugby Championships iin August.dddddddddddd Sam Cane will start in McCaws place on the openside flank. Luke Romano and Brodie Retallick, who share 24 test appearances, will combine in the second row as New Zealands only fit and experienced locking partnership. An injury to Sam Whitelock and the retirement of Ali Williams left Romano and Retallick as guaranteed starters and fast-tracked Thrush into the test lineup when the selectors next candidate, Dominic Bird, was also injured. Coles will start at hooker between Crusaders prop Owen Franks and Wyatt Crockett while two looseheads, Ben Franks and Afeaki, have been included on the bench. Tawera Kerr-Barlow has been named as the scrumhalf reserve in place of Piri Weepu who has a concussion while Beauden Barrett will understudy Cruden. Auckland Blues centre Rene Ranger could play his first test in three years if he gets a call from the bench. "Though the week has been disrupted with injury and illness, we have still been able to have a good weeks preparation and there is no doubting that our two (training) camps have been invaluable in assisting with this," Hansen said. "To their credit, everyone has worked hard off the field and we couldnt be happier." ------------ New Zealand: Israel Dagg, Ben Smith, Conrad Smith, Maa Nonu, Julian Savea, Aaron Cruden, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read (captain), Sam Kane, Liam Messam, Brodie Retallick, Luke Romano, Owen Franks, Dane Coles, Wyatt Crocket.
