ST. PETERSBURG -- Gavin Floyd likely won't pitch in the Major Leagues again this season, but he did receive some positive news about the injury that has sidelined him for most of the year.
Floyd last pitched for the Blue Jays on June 25, and after that outing he was diagnosed with a torn lat muscle. It wasn't until six weeks later that the club discovered the injury is actually a sprained right shoulder capsule.
The 33-year-old recently began throwing, but still does not have a timetable for his return. With a month remaining in the season, he's not expected to be back this year, but the nature of his injury means Floyd should be ready to go for the start of 2017.
