TORONTO (AP) \u2014 The Toronto Blue Jays have placed starting pitcher Dylan Cease on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.<\/p>\n
Blue Jays manager John Schneider updated Cease\u2019s status on Monday, hours before the Blue Jays started a three-game series with the Miami Marlins.<\/p>\n
Cease left the Blue Jays\u2019 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday with two outs in the top of the fifth inning. Slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left in the bottom of the inning with a right elbow contusion after he was hit with a pitch.<\/p>\n
Guerrero was not in the starting lineup for Monday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n
Cease has a 3-3 record with a 3.05 ERA so far in his first season with Toronto after signing a $210 million, seven-year contract.<\/p>\n
Earlier Monday, Toronto reinstated outfielder Nathan Lukes from the 10-day injured list and made him available for the series opener against the Marlins.<\/p>\n
Lukes had been out since April 24 with a left hamstring strain.<\/p>\n
He recently played two games with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, going 2 for 3 with one home run, three runs batted in and two walks.<\/p>\n
Lukes is batting .250 with eight RBIs with Toronto this season.<\/p>\n
Toronto optioned infielder\/outfielder Davis Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.<\/p>\n
The Blue Jays entered Monday\u2019s game in third place in the American League East with a 25-28 record.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TORONTO (AP) \u2014 The Toronto Blue Jays have placed starting pitcher Dylan Cease on the 15-day injured list…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":60543,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[11118,3368,26172,1019,7516,1336,1330,48],"class_list":["post-60542","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-toronto","tag-davis-schneider","tag-dylan-cease","tag-dylan-cease-injured-blue-jays","tag-john-schneider","tag-nathan-lukes","tag-package-100502-member-choice-sports-option","tag-product-30599-ap-sports-news-s-wire-only","tag-toronto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60542","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60542"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60542\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/60543"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60542"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60542"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60542"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
