Toronto Blue Jays infielder Matt Chapman (finger) will start on third base and bat fifth in Friday's series opener against right-hander Brett Kennedy and the Cincinnati Reds.
Chapman hasn't played since Saturday due to a finger injury. Santiago Espinal will move to shortstop on Friday while Paul DeJong takes a seat.
