Toronto's Brett Cecil suffers 'pretty significant' calf tear
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Brett Cecil suffered a "pretty significant" tear of his left calf, Blue Jays' manager John Gibbons said after Friday's loss.
What It Means:
The blows just keep on coming for the Jays. They will head to Texas down 2-0 in the series after losing in extra innings Friday and will now likely be without one of their best relievers for a significant amount of time.
Cecil has been rock solid for Toronto the past two seasons, posting 2.51 and 2.39 xFIPs in 2014 and 2015, respectively. He posted a career-best 2.15 walk rate while fanning 11.6 per nine innings.
