Dylan Cease left his start in the fifth inning with what appeared to be a lower-half injury. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was hit by a pitch on his elbow in the next half inning and immediately left the game. Cease, after shaking something off on his 73rd pitch, prompted manager John Schneider and head athletic trainer Jose Ministral to come out, but he stayed briefly and exited after a short conversation. Cease finished with 4.2 innings, 4 hits, 2 earned runs, 1 walk, and 8 strikeouts. Guerrero Jr. was removed after the hit. The Blue Jays have also lost multiple players to injuries, making both Cease and Guerrero Jr. especially important to the team.
"During his start on Sunday afternoon, Dylan Cease departed the game during the fifth inning with what appeared to be a lower-half injury. The next half inning, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was hit by a pitch on his elbow, immediately walking back to the dugout, pulling himself from the game."
"Starting with Cease, on his 73rd pitch of the afternoon, Cease shook something off, which prompted manager John Schneider and head athletic trainer Jose Ministral out of the bullpen. Cease stayed in the game, threw three more pitches, and departed after a short conversation."
"Cease departed this game with a line of 4.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, taking over the Major League Baseball lead in strikeouts. His ERA now sits at 3.05 and his FIP at 2.57 over 62 innings pitched. Guerrero Jr. numbers haven't been to his usual standards, but losing that bat for any period of time is a massive loss for the Jays."
"The injuries just keep piling on for the Blue Jays, who have now seen Alejandro Kirk, Addison Barger, Yimi García Cody Ponce, Shane Bieber, and José Berríos miss most or all of the season. George Springer, Trey Yesavage, Max Scherzer, and Nathan Lukes have all had stints on the injured list, or are still currently on the injured list."
