T.J. Zeuch Makes Opening Day Roster
4 years agoToronto Blue Jays hurler T.J. Zeuch was informed on Monday that he had made the club's 26-man roster for opening day. Veteran pitcher Robbie Ray (elbow bruise) is expected to miss at least one start with an injury. Zeuch has seen his standing with the Jays improve this spring due to a mix of solid results and increased velocity on his sinker. However, he was roughed up today by the Philadelphia Phillies and allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk over three innings of work. Zeuch doesn't strike out many batters as he relies primarily on his sinker to generate a high number of ground-ball outs. Once Ray returns, Zeuch could move to a bulk-inning role out of the bullpen or move down to the alternate site to continue to stay stretched out for emergencies.
