The Toronto Blue Jays will be without relief pitcher Gavin Floyd for two to three months after it was revealed to the media on Tuesday evening that the right-hander is dealing with a torn right lat muscle.
This is the same injury that sent Brett Cecil to the disabled list – a stint he’s about to return from – but Floyd’s recovery is expected to take much longer. Given the estimated timeline, the Blue Jays will be forced to proceed under the assumption that he is done for the season when it comes to roster management and transactions.
