Bowden Francis has been battling his right forearm extensor tendinitis issue since an outing in San Diego last week
No structural concerns. Blue Jays optimistic that with rest / treatment in coming days he'll be back to throwing before long; hopeful it won't be lengthy IL stint
Left-hander Brendon Little will be active in Blue Jays bullpen today
Wrote this spring about what he brings and why the club made an 11th hour move to acquire him in November: sportsnet.ca/mlb/power-left…
Addison Barger was informed he’d been called up to the Blue Jays around 11:30pm Tuesday; rushed to Sahlen Field to grab his gear and was on a flight to KC around 6:00am. He estimates he slept for 20 minutes.
Tonight he’ll be playing left field for the first time in his life
Blue Jays plan to use Addison Barger semi-regularly in good matchups for his swing against right-handed pitching
He’ll play mostly corner outfield but could get some reps at 3B and move around positionally in-game
Kevin Kiermaier (left hip flexor inflammation) had an MRI — no structural concerns. He’ll take a couple days off from baseball activity and go from there.
Blue Jays hope is that his absence will be shorter-term but will depend how he responds to treatment in coming days.
Kevin Kiermaier left Tuesday's Blue Jays game with left hip flexor discomfort, per Blue Jays manager John Schneider. Kiermaier’s being evaluated tonight and is currently considered day-to-day.
Kiermaier exited in the sixth inning after his third plate appearance of the night
Alek Manoah threw a side session in Toronto on Monday; he’ll start for the Buffalo Bisons on Wednesday or Thursday depending on weather
Chad Green (right teres major strain) is also in Toronto determining next steps with Blue Jays medical staff; he hasn’t thrown since Friday
Blue Jays LHP prospect Ricky Tiedemann is visiting with Blue Jays medical staff in Toronto this week to determine next steps after being placed on triple-A IL last week with elbow discomfort, per club. Tiedemann had an MRI on Thursday.
Blue Jays LHP prospect Brandon Barriera (elbow) is scheduled visit Dr. Keith Meister in Texas this week, per club
Barriera was Blue Jays' first-round pick in 2022. He left his first start of the low-A season after 1.1 innings
A closer look at the curveball underlying Yusei Kikuchi's success and the many, many ways Yariel Rodriguez is using his fastball sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/ga…
Blue Jays are weighing some different pitching scenarios for Saturday’s game vs Rockies. Bowden Francis has been told to be ready to pitch Saturday but not necessarily start.
Yariel Rodriguez is an option to pitch in a length role in that game.
