Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease to miss next start due to shoulder fatigue
The Blue Jays are awaiting MRI results as Cease’s September velocity and control have dipped, and he could still return for the season’s final series.
- On Sunday, the Toronto Blue Jays scratched right-hander Dylan Cease from his scheduled Wednesday start against the Baltimore Orioles as they await MRI results from Saturday to determine if he will pitch again this season.
- Manager John Schneider said Cease has dealt with shoulder fatigue and velocity drops for weeks. "It wasn't alarming enough to say, 'Hey, I can't pitch,'" Schneider said regarding the decision to investigate.
- In Friday's 7-1 loss to the Texas Rangers, Cease lasted 2.2 innings and threw a career-low 90 mph fastball. Despite the recent struggles, he maintains a 2.40 ERA and an AL-leading 239 strikeouts across 29 starts.
- The Blue Jays sit 3.0 games behind the Chicago White Sox for the final wild-card spot with seven games remaining. Trey Yesavage is scheduled to start Monday's series opener against the Orioles.
- Depending on MRI results, the team hasn't ruled out a return for Cease during the final series against the Cincinnati Reds. ESPN currently calculates a 4.7% probability of Toronto making the postseason.
