With the Toronto Blue Jays losing three key arms in the bullpen to injury, it is adding a lot more pressure to an already pressure filled role for the starters.

My story on a bullpen that's been stretched thin, which could ask even more of these starters:

ERA: 4.69 (27th)
K/9: 7.69 (27th)
Worth noting here is that the top six teams in bullpen ERA (Guardians, Dodgers, Orioles, Brewers, Yankees, Braves) all hold postseason spots as of today.
