The Blue Jays entered the season with one of the more enviable 5-man rotations in baseball, but unfortunately the injury bug has bit them early and often in 2017. J.A. Happ won’t be available for awhile yet, and there are no definite answers on when Aaron Sanchez will be able to re-join the rotation either. To make matters worse, Marcus Stroman left the game against the Yankees with reported “tightness in his armpit”.
Mat Latos and Casey Lawrence have been the replacement starters for Happ and Sanchez thus far, and it’s hard to say if the club will look to either pitcher as an answer going forward.
