The Toronto Blue Jays placed Dylan Cease on the injured list with a hamstring injury. The 30-year-old right-handed pitcher had been a key part of the Blue Jays' rotation through the first two months of the season.
Cease has made 11 starts this season, compiling a 3-3 record with a 3.05 ERA across 62.0 innings pitched. The veteran has struck out 92 batters while walking 26, posting a 1.21 WHIP. His performance has been a bright spot for Toronto's pitching staff during a challenging campaign.
The Blue Jays currently sit at 25-29, third in the AL East and 10.5 games behind the division leader. The team has lost two straight games and will need to adjust their rotation with Cease sidelined. Toronto's roster composition includes 13 pitchers, five infielders, five outfielders, two catchers, and one designated hitter.
This marks Cease's first injury-related absence of the 2026 season after establishing himself as a reliable starter in the Blue Jays rotation. The team will look to their remaining rotation depth to fill the void while Cease recovers from the hamstring issue.
