The Toronto Blue Jays announced a roster move ahead of their game against the Boston Red Sox as relief pitcher Paxton Schultz is headed for IL.
The Blue Jays cannot figure things out this season when it comes to injuries as it seems like the entire teams has gone down with an injury at some point this season.
Blue Jays relief pitcher Paxton Schultz goes down as he is placed on IL
The Blue Jay close out their series against the Red Sox this afternoon after a disaster of a loss yesterday.
Toronto announced this morning that relief pitcher Paxton
Schultz has been placed on 15 IL with a right middle finger contusion which is why they have called up Justin Bruihl.
#BlueJays have placed Paxton Schultz on the 15-day IL with right middle finger inflammation.
Justin Bruihl is back up.
ROSTER MOVES:
LHP Justin Bruihl recalled from Triple-A and will be active today
RHP Paxton Schultz (right middle finger inflammation) placed on 15-day IL
This is a tough move for the Blue Jays since
Schultz has been soli for them so far this season as he currently has a 4.56 ERA in 23.2 innings pitched this season but his ERA took a serious jump after giving up 5 hits and 3 earned runs yesterday.
Hopefully Bruihl will be able to step into the bullpen and continue to deliver as he was recent called up and pitched 2.2 inning giving up only 1 hit and zero earned runs while striking out 4 batters.
