Pearson, Parsons and White Make The Opening Roster

Pearson, Parsons and White Make The Opening Roster

PhotoPhoto by Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire via The Jays have made some roster moves: Making the team: Nate Pearson Mitch White Wes Parsons Optioned: Zach Pop Yariel Rodriguez (they want to build up his arm) Injury List: Jordan Romano Erik Swanson And “likely” Alek Manoah (He threw 34 pitches in a sim game today. It looks like the team wants guys who can give them innings in the last three spots in the pen. Wes Parsons is the one who surprises me. Parson had a 4.22 ERA in 10.2 spring innings. He allowed 10 hits, 5 earned, 8 walks, 3 hit batters and 8...

Thursday Spring GameThread: Jays at Twins

Nathan Ray Seebeck-USA TODAY Sports The Jays have a road spring game today, but the lineup is filled with interesting players. There isn’t much news about the Jays. They tell us that Alek Manoah’s ‘cranky’ shoulder is feeling better, and he should throw a bullpen session next week. There is no chance he’ll make the opening-day roster, but hopefully, he’ll start building up innings in Buffalo soon after their season starts. The Athletic has a story on nepotism in sports broadcasting, which we are seeing with the Blue Jays: When Joe Buck talks to kids who...

Thursday Bantering and Spring GameThread

Photo by Nick Cammett/Diamond Images via I will be our for most of the afternoon, so use this as a GameThread. It is on Sportsnet tonight. I should be back around game time. I might as well start with the bad news: Alek Manoah was to throw a bullpen session today, but his shoulder is still sore, and he’s back to day-to-day. There is less and less chance he’ll start the season in the rotation. It makes an opening for Bowden Francis or Mitch White (or both). Some good news from Erik Swanson: “We feel the support,” he said. “We felt everybody’s prayers,...

Saturday Bantering: Manoah Out With Sore Shoulder

Saturday Bantering: Manoah Out With Sore Shoulder

Jonathan Dyer-USA TODAY Sports The Jays tell us that Alek Manoah has some shoulder soreness. The MRI showed no structural damage, but he won’t be throwing for a few days. It might mean he won’t be ready for the start of the season. From Keegan Matheson’s story: “He was throwing and said that it feels a bit cranky, so we wanted to be extra careful at this point,” Schneider said. And Yariel Rodriguez has had back spasms but will throw a bullpen session today. He will be brought along slowly, but they still hope he’ll be ready to open the season with the team,...
