Dylan Cease has been a durable starter since 2020, but he left a game against the Pirates with left hamstring discomfort. The Blue Jays sent him for an MRI to determine the extent of the issue. Manager John Schneider’s comments suggest a lengthy injured list stint may be avoidable, though Cease could miss one or two starts to return fully healthy. The team could use an injured list to call up a replacement arm for 1-2 outings or could piece together bullpen-style coverage for a single rotation turn. Toronto’s rotation depth is limited, so the club may prioritize long-term health and consider an IL move similar to prior cases. The Jays are also in a long stretch of consecutive games, increasing the urgency of finding coverage.
"The Jays have a plethora of options down in Buffalo they can lean on - Josh Fleming, Chad Dallas, Grant Rogers, CJ Van Eyk, and Austin Voth - and each comes with their own pros and cons. What they all have in common is that each player would need a 40-man roster spot, something the Jays can manage at this point in the season."
