Blue Jays Put Ryan on 15 Day DL

The Toronto Blue Jays announced today that closer BJ Ryan will go on the 15-day DL list due to a "sprained" elbow.

According to ESPN, Toronto general manager J.P. Ricciardi told them on Sunday that he doesn't necessarily believe Ryan blew out his elbow. The Blue Jays medical staff is "leaning more toward a strained tendon," Ricciardi said.

This happened just one day after Ryan had a meltdown against the Tigers, giving up 4 runs and a blown save in the 10-7 loss. Ryan only blew 4 saves all of last year.

Hopefully this isn't a serious issue, he's a great closer! I was a big fan of this signing when it happened and I think he'll be back and stronger than ever. Now, if only Josh Towers can pitch every game like he pitched today, then maybe the Toronto Blue Jays go to world series! :)

Until next time!
