Sergio Shelved

The Blue Jays placed Sergio Santos on the disabled list with an inflamed shoulder:

The Jays are confident that Santos will be ready to return as soon as his 15 days are up. An offseason trade acquisition from the White Sox, he’s registered a disappointing 9.00 ERA and 2.00 WHIP in five innings thus far, converting just 2-of-4 save opportunities. Perhaps the rest will help his effectiveness.

Toronto is off to a decent start, 8-6, second place in the AL East, 1/2 game behind the Yankees. They’re scoring over five runs a game, so the pitching doesn’t need to be that good for them to continue winning.
