Natale's broken arm; lineups

A couple of notes before we get to tonight's lineups.

Infielder Jeff Natale, who was filling in in Pawtucket, suffered a broken arm in today's game, when he was hit by a pitch in the seventh inning. Natale was promoted on April 16.

Today's game features the Double-A debut of the Blue Jays No. 1 prospect, 20-year-old outfielder Travis Snider, a first -round draft choice out of high school in 2006. He is considered a superb hitter.

Here are the lineups
