Rotoworld Player News

Ernie Clement

TOR 3rd Baseman #22

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ernie Clement went 3-for-5 in a loss Sunday to the Twins.

It’s the first three-hit game for Clement, and he’s picked up four multi-hit games thus far in the month of April. The 30-year-old is hitting .311, but with little power as seen in a .393 slugging percentage.
Max Scherzer

TOR Starting Pitcher #31

Max Scherzer allowed eight runs over 2 1/3 innings in a loss to the Twins on Sunday in an 8-2 loss for the Blue Jays.

Scherzer was shelled Sunday, and it’s worth noting that he left his last start with forearm tendinitis. He gave up five hits and two walks, and the big blow was a three-run blast by Tristan Gray. His fastball velocity was actually up from the previous outing to 93.1 mph compared to 92.8 on Monday, so it was just a case of not fooling hitters whatsoever. Assuming all is well, he gets the chance to rebound Saturday against the Diamondbacks.
Tyler Heineman

TOR Catcher #55

Tyler Heineman was held out of the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for a third straight game on Sunday due to back spasms.

That explains why Heineman didn’t play at all over the weekend while rookie Brandon Valenzuela draws his third consecutive start. Heineman is considered day-to-day and should return to action early next week.
George Springer

TOR Right Fielder #4

Blue Jays’ manager John Schneider told reporters on Sunday that George Springer (toe) could spend close to the minimum 10 days on the injured list.

It sounds like his placement on the injured list was done more so out of a cautious approach than an absolute necessity and had it been later in the season Springer may have attempted to play through the injury. Look for him to return before the end of April barring any setbacks.
Josh Fleming

TOR Relief Pitcher #61

Blue Jays re-signed LHP Josh Fleming to a minor league contract.

The 29-year-old southpaw opted to explore the free agent market rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, but ultimately, he made the decision that a return to the Blue Jays made the most sense for him. He’ll continue to function as extra pitching depth at Triple-A Buffalo.
Eloy Jimenez

TOR Left Fielder #74

Blue Jays selected the contract of OF Eloy Jiménez from Triple-A Buffalo.

On the heels of a strong spring, the 29-year-old slugger got off to a decent start at Triple-A Buffalo, slashing .257/.372/.371 with one home run, five RBI and a 9/5 K/BB ratio over his first 43 plate appearances. It’ll be interesting to see what type of playing time he sees with the Jays, though the most likely scenario has him working on the short side of a platoon with most of his action coming against southpaws. He’ll serve as the designated hitter and bat seventh against Twins’ right-hander Taj Bradley on Sunday.
George Springer

TOR Right Fielder #4

Blue Jays placed OF George Springer on the 10-day injured list with a fractured big toe.

Springer suffered the injury as he fouled a ball off of his foot during Saturday’s contest against the Twins. He’s going to miss at least a couple of weeks of action while recovering. Eloy Jimenez was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday to take his place on the Jays’ active roster.
Jesús Sánchez

TOR Right Fielder #12

Jesús Sánchez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Twins on Saturday.

Sánchez left the yard on his only hit of the day, golfing one out to right field for a two-run blast in the ninth inning. The home run had an exit velocity of 107 mph, going 406 feet. It was the second home run of the season for the 28-year-old outfielder. Sánchez makes for a solid streamer in deep five-outfielder leagues against right-handed pitching.
Eric Lauer

TOR Starting Pitcher #56

Eric Lauer allowed seven runs with three strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings in a loss against the Twins on Saturday.

Lauer’s velocity still wasn’t quite back to where he was in his first start after pitching through an illness his last time out, sitting 90.2 mph on Saturday. He tossed a pair of scoreless innings before unraveling in the third. Brooks Lee got to him with a solo homer to lead off the frame. Five straight batters would reach safely to bring in three more runs and leave two runners on for Trevor Larnach, who launched a three-run homer to make it a seven-run inning. Lauer came back with two more scoreless innings and recorded the first out in the sixth before departing at 95 pitches. The 30-year-old left-hander is in line to take on the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Friday.
George Springer

TOR Right Fielder #4

George Springer left Saturday’s game with a fractured left big toe.

Springer, who was DHing today, fouled a ball off his foot in his second at-bat and then didn’t come back out for his third. The Jays quickly announced that his toe was fractured, so he’ll likely miss at least a few weeks. This could get Eloy Jiménez back to the majors; after a nice spring, he’s hit .281/.368/.406 through 10 games in Triple-A. If the Jays don’t want to make room on their 40-man roster, their only option would be to call up Jonatan Clase. In that case, Davis Schneider and Myler Straw could share Springer’s at-bats. Straw replaced him today.
