Yeah.
and then also a premium on those injury updates we're going to get pregame.
The only other updates from โ actually, I guess there were a couple updates from around the minors quickly before we take a break.
According to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, the Jays signed Eloy Jimenez back on a minor league deal, so I'd imagine we'll see him with the Buffalo Bisons shortly.
Johnny King, who we've been tracking and has been awesome with Vancouver, got rocked yesterday.
It brought his ERA all the way up to .260.
on the year.
Five earned runs over a third of an inning.
And maybe most importantly, as we talk through pitcher situations and Dylan Cease's health and the fifth rotation spot, Jake Bloss threw four innings with Dunedin on Sunday.
Only allowed a run.
Struck out five.
Didn't walk anyone.
And his fastball velocity was up well above where it was pre-Tommy John.
So he's still a bit away.
That was only his second official rehab start.
But he's up to four innings.
He threw 50 pitches.
The velocity was really good.
That's someone who is going to be in the conversation within a couple weeks here, I think, as the Jays figure out their rotation.
We'll know more on Cease and Vlad pregame and a couple other guys.
