TORONTO – Cody Ponce may actually need surgery on his injured knee.
The Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher was originally diagnosed with a sprained anterior cruciate ligament after his right knee buckled chasing down a ground ball on Monday.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider says Ponce will visit orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache next week to see if it needs to be operated on.
Ponce was added to Toronto’s injured list on Tuesday with fellow right-hander Lazaro Estrada recalled from triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.
The injury came in Ponce’s regular-season debut for the Blue Jays after he signed a three-year, $30-million US deal with Toronto on Dec. 10.
Ponce spent the past four seasons playing in Japan and South Korea. He was 17-1 over 29 starts with Hanwha in 2025, with a 1.89 earned-run average and 252 strikeouts.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 1, 2026.
