Chad Jenkins impressing in rotation

CBSSports.com Fantasy — The Toronto rotation has seen injuries to Josh Johnson and J.A. Happ while Ricky Romero continues to pitch inconsistent baseball. Because of that, Chad Jenkins has been able to emerge for manager John Gibbons, MLB.com reported Wednesday.  Jenkins held Boston to just two earned runs Sunday and impressed general manager Alex Anthopoulos in the process. The GM said it was the best he's ever seen Jenkins perform.  The Blue Jays have tabbed Jenkins' next start to come either Monday or Tuesday at home against Tampa Bay. Because that start is a week away, Jenkins was available to pitch out of the bul...

Ricky Romero awful in first start since demotion

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Blue Jays starting pitcher Ricky Romero, who was optioned to the minors after two poor starts, didn't fare much better in his season debut for Triple-A Buffalo Saturday. Romero allowed six runs on 10 hits and five walks in 3 2/3 innings, without recording a strikeout. Pitching coach Pete Walker, however, chalks up the bad outing to a quick turnaround for the left-handed hurler. "I think any time anybody has [gone] from the big leagues to the minor leagues, it's always a letdown," Walker said, per MLB.com. "Those Triple-A hitters can swing the bat. I mean, there's a lot of good players down the...

Breaking: Romero to AAA, Gonzalez DFA'd, Storey & Ortiz Called Up

Blue Jays Plus — Ricky Romero should never have been up in the majors this past week, and management is admitting their mistake by sending him back down the minors, this time to AAA Buffalo. Joining him is Edgar Gonzalez, who was DFA'd a day after being called up to replace the injured J.A. Happ. To replace these 2 pitchers, Mickey Storey and Ramon Ortiz have been called up.Ortiz should get the start on Sunday, barring any changes(which one would be wise to assume will happen).

Ricky Romero can't get out of first
