Battered Blue Jays

The Blue Jays are hurtin and bad.

Today, Toronto announced that both closer BJ Ryan and 3rd baseman Troy Glaus will be on the DL. Ryan is expected to miss four to six weeks.

This is a huge blow for a team who already lost Reed Johnson. Ryan's sprained elbow ligament is similar to the one A.J Burnett and Gustavo Chacin suffered last season.

For now, the Jays will move Jason Frasor to the closers role, Adam Lind is called up to replace Reed Johnson (and looked impressive in his first game yesterday), as well as McDonald and Smith sharing duties at 3rd.

Injuries are always apart of it. Right now the Red Sox look like the toughest in the division (mainly due to these injuries to both the Yankees and Blue Jays). It'll be interesting to see how this series with Boston goes tomorrow.
