Everyone will be watching one thing in the Rangers and Blue Jays first match-up of the season Friday in Toronto: What happens at second base when Jose Bautista and Rougned Odor come face to face again after last year's melee in Arlington?

However, while that is an important thing to watch Friday night, it's also important to note that the Blue Jays will be getting back two of their best players just in time for one of their most hated opponents on their schedule.

Jays manager John Gibbons told MLB Network Radio on Friday that both Troy Tulowitzki and Josh Donaldson will be coming off the disabled list just in time for the first match-up between the two teams since they faced off in the ALDS last season.

"It's been a long time coming, to be honest with you," Gibbons said, "and like I said earlier, the other guys that have stepped in have really done a great job, but if we're going to do anything, we need [Donaldson and Tulowitzki] to be good."

It will be the first time the teams have played in the regular season since that fateful punch May 15 (they did meet in the ALDS last postseason).

But both teams need a little bit of a steadying force at the moment. Toronto has not started the season like they've wanted as they currently sit in last place in the AL East with a 21-26 record, and while the Rangers are second in the AL West and fresh off a 10-game winning streak in recent weeks, they are coming off being swept in Boston.

For Toronto, they get the steadying force of the two veterans in Tulowitzki and Donaldson, the Toronto Star noted. What will the Rangers get this weekend?
