Overview

• Yimi García, a crucial late-inning reliever for the Blue Jays, has been placed on the 15-day Injured List due to a right-shoulder impingement.
• The injury had been building for weeks, according to manager John Schneider, and García will return to Toronto for further evaluation by team doctors.
• Paxton Schultz has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to fill García’s roster spot, bringing promise after a record-setting MLB debut earlier this season.
• The Blue Jays bullpen, already heavily utilized this season, will rely on relievers like Yariel Rodríguez and Chad Green to step up in García’s absence.
• Erik Swanson, another key bullpen arm, is nearing a return from injury and is scheduled for a rehab appearance with Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
