Blue Jays ace Hyun Jin Ryu was removed in the fourth inning from Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rays with a minor right glute strain, the club announced.
Ryu delivered a changeup to Manuel Margot -- who singled-- then slowly walked to the back of the mound and went into a crouch. When he popped up, he signaled to the dugout, at which point manager Charlie Montoyo and pitching coach Pete Walker came to the mound.
The injury is worrying for the Blue Jays not only because Ryu is the ace of the rotation, but because of the long list of injuries this staff is already dealing with. Robbie Ray opened the season on the IL, while No. 1 prospect Nate Pearson and right-hander Thomas Hatch are still on the IL from Spring Training. Ross Stripling and T.J. Zeuch have both filled rotation spots early, but they’re on the IL now, too.
Ray’s return and the emergence of Steven Matz in April have helped this rotation, but losing Ryu for any amount of time would stretch the group very thin. Bullpen days have already been adopted to fill holes in the rotation, but the Blue Jays have very little healthy starting depth beyond lefty Anthony Kay, who’s currently at the alternate training site.
Ryu was rolling on Sunday, too, throwing 3 2/3 innings of shutout ball with five strikeouts. The 34-year-old now owns a 2.60 ERA on the young season.
