Ryan Borucki Stats

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Ryan Borucki (forearm, elbow) is set to make another rehab appearance, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. He has already made one appearance, but is scheduled to pitch one inning with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday. Borucki has been sidelined since May, but it sounds like he is nearing a return. It wouldn't be shocking to see Borucki back on the Jays roster shortly after the All-Star break. Sadly, Borucki has limited upside in fantasy formats and can be ignored in most leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Rafael Dolis (finger) will join Triple-A Buffalo for a rehab assignment on Friday, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. Reliever Ryan Borucki (elbow) will throw live batting practice early next week before moving to a rehab assignment. Dolis could be back early next week, while Borucki is a little bit further behind. But the Jays should be getting bullpen reinforcements soon. Dolis has three saves this year but also a 5.14 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 21 innings before he suffered a right middle finger sprain on June 17. The left-handed Borucki suffered a flexor strain on May 14 and has a 4.05 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 14 K's in 13 1/3 innings. Neither relief arm is particularly attractive in fantasy, even in saves/holds leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays relief pitcher Julian Merryweather (oblique) threw a "nice and easy" side session this week, according to manager Charlie Montoyo. Reliever Ryan Borucki (elbow) had a successful bullpen session on Friday. His next step is either a side session on Monday or live batting practice on Tuesday, followed by a minor league rehab assignment. Merryweather will follow the same plan. Don't be surprised if these two relievers don't return until after the All-Star break. Merryweather, 29, hadn't allowed a run while striking out seven and walking one with two saves in 4 1/3 innings before his injury. If he returns to his pre-injury form, he could once again be in the mix for saves in Toronto with Jordan Romano when he returns.
