Shoemaker Gets a Boot

Blue Jays pitcher Matt Shoemaker is done for the season:


Shoemaker was immediately placed on the injured list with a ‘knee sprain’ after the game, and the MRI on Sunday revealed a torn ACL, which would bring an end to his season already.


It’s terrible news for Shoemaker, who had been limited to 21 starts combined over the previous three seasons due to injuries. He suffered a fractured skull and concussion in 2016 — which required emergency surgery to stop bleeding — while a lingering forearm issue required surgeries in 2017 and 2018.

He was off to a good beginning, too, ending the season with a 1.57 in 28 2/3 innings over five starts.
