Yup. I think it's doubtful he goes the distance as an effective starter, although i'm not ruling it out. There was talk of returning him to the pen.

Not talk. They are likely after start vs Baltimore this weekend. Trade for a decent starter and should be okay. Bullpen pretty strong then.

no more Papleboner?

upton headed for Buffalo

The "loser" in the Melvin Upton trade may be Justin Smoak, if today's lineup is a sign. Upton is in left field, Michael Saunders in right, Edwin Encarnacion at first and Jose Bautista is the DH. Makes sense, as Upton should be a defensive upgrade over Bautista.

Didn't they have a latino lefty in right field that was having a good streak in right field?

Most likely.
Also just read that he is owed a combined $22-million for the remainder of this season and next, but the Jays will reportedly only be on the hook for $5 million as the Padres agreed to off-set much of Upton’s salary
