Roberto Osuna's (shoulder) Game 1 status up in air for Blue Jays

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said he's unsure whether reliever Roberto Osuna (shoulder) will be available for Game 1 of the American League Divisional Series against the Texas Rangers on Thursday.

What It Means:

Gibbons likely knows Osuna's status, and is simply unsure when he's going to share it with the media. The 21-year-old right-hander was lifted from Tuesday night's Wild Card Game victory due to minor discomfort in his right shoulder after 1 1/3 innings of hitless work. Francisco Liriano and Jason Grilli would be the next best options for Toronto.

The 21-year-old Osuna turned in another solid year, posting a 2.68 ERA and 2.87 SIERA through 74 regular season innings. His 28.5 percent strikeout rate and 4.9 percent walk rate were both improvements from his already solid rookie numbers in 2015.
