Julian Merryweather Placed On Injured List
4 years agoToronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. Merryweather came on in the eighth inning of Tuesday's game, but was unable to come back out for the ninth as he was reportedly dealing with hip irritation. Tim Mayza wound up pitching the ninth and closing out a Blue Jays win in a non-save situation. Merryweather was off to a great start to the season and was looking like the favorite for save opportunities on the team. He converted two saves and recorded seven strikeouts over 4.1 innings pitched prior to this injury. While Merryweather is out, Jordan Romano is the favorite for saves, but Rafael Dolis and Mayza might also factor in.
