Brett Bateman (hip) remains out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Orioles.

There’s zero incentive for Toronto to push Bateman back out there after being officially eliminated from playoff contention earlier in the day. The 24-year-old rookie will sit out both ends of the twin bill after exiting Monday’s series opener with right hip discomfort. He’s day-to-day heading into the Blue Jays’ final three games of the year.
