For a team that came into 2021 with lofty expectations after a busy offseason, a 6-6 start is a bit disappointing for the Toronto Blue Jays.
That record requires a little context, though. One way of looking at it is that the Blue Jays should be commended for not digging themselves a deep hole despite a litany of injuries that might have resulted in a truly ugly record for a lesser team. On the other hand, their jam-packed IL could be seen as a major obstacle towards this club fulfilling its 2021 goals both in the short term and over the course of the season.
