Blue Jays put Dylan Cease on the IL shortly after being eliminated from the playoff race
Cease went 11-6 with a 2.40 ERA this season, his first with Toronto.
The Toronto Blue Jays have placed right-hander Dylan Cease on the 15-day injured list due to shoulder inflammation. This move comes after the team was eliminated from postseason contention, following a loss in the first game of a doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles. According to Yahoo Sports, Cease finished the season with an 11-6 record and a 2.40 ERA in 29 starts.
Cease had joined the Blue Jays this season on a $210 million, seven-year contract, after previously playing for the Chicago White Sox and San Diego Padres. His last start was on Friday, when he walked six batters and was replaced in the third inning.
The Blue Jays' situation had become increasingly difficult before Cease's injury, with the team needing wins and other teams to lose in order to stay in contention for a wild-card spot.
