TORONTO – The Toronto Blue Jays have placed starting pitcher Dylan Cease on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider updated Cease’s status hours before the Blue Jays started a three-game series with the Miami Marlins on Monday at Rogers Centre.
Cease left the Blue Jays’ 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Sunday with two outs in the top of the fifth inning. Slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. left in the bottom of the inning with a right elbow contusion after he was hit with a pitch.
Guerrero was not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game.
Cease has a 3-3 record with a 3.05 earned-run average so far in his first season with Toronto after signing a seven-year, US$210 million contract.
Earlier Monday, Toronto reinstated outfielder Nathan Lukes from the 10-day injured list and made him available for the series opener against the Marlins.
Lukes had been out since April 24 with a left hamstring strain.
He recently played two games with the Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, going 2-for-3 with one home run, three runs batted in and two walks.
Lukes is batting .250 with eight RBIs with Toronto this season.
In corresponding moves, Toronto selected right-hander Tanner Andrews to its Major League roster and optioned infielder/outfielder Davis Schneider to Triple-A Buffalo.
The Blue Jays entered Monday’s game in third place in the American League East with a 25-28 record.
