Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Tayler Saucedo left his team's game on Friday with an apparent injury to his hip or side. Saucedo faced two batters in the fifth inning, throwing 11 pitches and walking one before walking off with the injury. The 28-year-old has posted a 13.50 ERA and 1.88 WHIP with zero strikeouts across 2 2/3 innings of work in 2022. He was replaced on the mound by Trevor Richards, who was touched up for five runs in his 1 1/3 innings of work. Stay tuned for more updates regarding Saucedo.
Toronto Blue Jays pitchers Thomas Hatch and Tayler Saucedo has been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. The Jays needed to make room for Jose Berrios and Joakim Soria on the active roster. Saucedo performed well during his time in Toronto, so he could be back soon. He posted a 2.03 ERA and 0.98 WHIP over 13 1/3 innings. Hatch isn't far away from being MLB ready and could be back with the team before the end of the season. Neither pitcher is worth holding in fantasy formats, but could contribute in Toronto again before the season is over.
