News
Toronto rookie starter Drew Hutchison lasted just four innings on Tuesday night at Tampa Bay. Facing Rays rookie Matt Moore, neither pitcher was very effective for very long. Moore was sharp early, but came undone in the fifth. Hutchison allowed one run in the second and five more in the fourth before leaving the game and taking the losing decision to fall to 3-2 on the year. Hutchison allowed homers to Luke Scott and Carlos Pena – who blasted a three-run shot – as he gave up six runs on seven hits and no walks over four frames. He needed 86 pitches to go that distance and struck out three batters. Hutchison’s ERA is at 5.73 on the year.

News
After tossing a complete game shutout his last time out, Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow had an ugly outing on Friday against the Rangers. He allowed six runs on five hits with three walks while only recording two outs in the 14-3 loss. The right-hander walked the first two batters he faced and then after recording one out, gave up a two-run single to Adrian Beltre. Texas would plate four more runs during the frame and Morrow was done after giving up a double to Ian Kinsler. He threw just 44 pitches, 26 for strikes. Morrow did not post a strikeout while taking his third loss of the season. "I'm just going to pretend that that game never happened," said Morrow.

Injuries
Shoulder - 15-day DL. Out indefinitely (Updated - 5/22/12)
News
Toronto starting pitcher Jesse Litsch said Tuesday that precautionary tests on his right shoulder confirmed an infection is completely gone, according to SportsNet. Litsch, who has not pitched in the majors since September of last year, said he never felt pain comparable to what he experienced as the infection was reportedly a threat to his career. The infection stemmed from a platelet-rich plasma injection in the offseason.

	Ricky Romero, #24

News
Toronto starter Ricky Romero continued his wild streak on Wednesday afternoon in Tampa Bay. Romero walked seven batters over six innings and all the runners on base translated into four runs scored against him. The game went into extra innings tied at four runs apiece and Romero settled for the no-decision in the outing. Romero allowed four runs on just two base hits due to the seven bases on balls. He struck out seven and his ERA is at 3.86 on the year.

News
Toronto outfielder Jose Bautista's bat is really beginning to warm as he hit his 12th home run of the season on Wednesday afternoon in an extra-inning loss at Tampa Bay. Bautista went deep with two outs in the first inning off Rays starter James Shields. Bautista added a double and finished 2 for 5 with two runs scored. He's batting .230 on the year.

News
Toronto third baseman and designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion continues to play through a sore back, but it didn't appear to bother him on Wednesday in an extra-inning loss at Tampa Bay. Encarnacion, who was the DH in the game, homered for the 14th time on the season in the eighth inning for a two-run shot. Encarnacion finished the game 2 for 4 with a walk and is batting .269.

Injuries
Hamstring - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-June (Updated - 5/25/12)
News
Toronto outfielder Ben Francisco was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday with a troublesome hamstring injury. Francisco has missed the past three games after sustaining a left hamstring strain last Sunday. First baseman David Cooper was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to take his roster spot. “The MRI showed he has some tearing in that left hamstring,” manager John Farrell told the Toronto Sun. “He’s on the 15-day DL so beyond that we’re going to go on how he recovers. It’s a minimum of 15 days, how much longer after that we’ll get a better read in the mid part of the second week on the DL.“

News
Blue Jays catcher Jeff Mathis was needed to pitch in Friday's blowout loss to the Rangers. He entered in the eighth inning with his team trailing by 11 and while he gave up a leadoff double, the right-hander was able to strand the runner. Mathis was the only Toronto pitcher not to allow a run in the 14-3 loss.

News
Blue Jays second baseman Kelly Johnson remained in the lineup for Friday's series opener against the Rangers after leaving his previous contest due to tightness in his left hamstring. Johnson went 1 for 3 before being replaced by Omar Vizquel in the 14-3 loss. “(Johnson) has some inflammation around the tendon, but (doctors) don’t anticipate anything further than that,” manager John Farrell told the Toronto Star after receiving the results of Johnson's MRI.
