.Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) will "probably not" pitch again this season, according to manager John Gibbons. Stroman will rejoin the team in New York. Stroman made his last start on Sept. 3 against the Rays and lasted just 1 2/3 innings while allowing four earned runs. His season has been up and down due to injuries, and he should no longer be owned by those in single-year formats.

Stroman (finger) will probably not pitch again this season, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Manager John Gibbons said Wednesday that Stroman (finger) will not take the hill against Cleveland on Sunday and may not return again this season, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) will not make his next start Sunday against the Indians, according to manager John Gibbons. The team hasn't discussed whether Stroman will be able to make it back this year. Thomas Pannone is likely to take Stroman's turn on Sunday as the team returns to a six-man rotation. Stroman just can't seem to get over his blister issues. With Toronto having nothing to play for, it'd be a surprise to see Stroman make another start this year. He's been a disappointment to fantasy owners for most of the year (5.54 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 6.8 K/9) and can be dropped in most leagues if he wasn't already. The left-handed Pannone is 1-1 with a 4.58 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 13 strikeouts in 17 2/3 innings over eight big league outings (two starts) and would be a weak streaming option against the Tribe.

Stroman (4-9) allowed four runs on six hits while striking out one over 1.2 innings as he took the loss Monday against Tampa Bay. After the game, manager John Gibbons stated Stroman's blister is "clearly affecting him," Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) dealt with a blister issue again during his start on Monday against the Rays. Manager John Gibbons said, "It's clearly affecting him." Gibbons has recommended a cautious approach, but Stroman wants to keep pitching. The right-hander allowed four earned runs on six hits while walking none and striking out just one in 1 2/3 innings in a loss on Monday. Stroman is only striking out 6.77 hitters per nine innings and just hasn't been very good this year. Even if he does make his next start, Stroman is one to avoid for fantasy purposes.

Stroman (finger) returned from the disabled list as expected Monday and is starting against the Rays.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) is coming off the disabled list and will start against the Rays on Monday. Stroman's blister has healed, but manager John Gibbons said the team will keep a close eye on their starter. The right-hander might not go deep into this game, so he's a risky option in his first start off the DL. Stroman has been up and down for fantasy owners this year and is only a candidate to own in deep mixed and AL-only leagues.

Stroman (finger) will be activated from the 10-day disabled list to start Monday's game against the Rays.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) played catch late last week and will continue his throwing program through this week. Stroman allowed five earned runs on six hits in just four innings in a loss to the Yankees on Aug. 17 before landing on the disabled list. The right-hander could be back soon if he doesn't have any setbacks. Stroman has been up and down and has dealt with injuries this year. He also doesn't strike out many batters, but he can be useful in deep mixed leagues down the stretch in the right matchups if he's healthy.

Stroman (finger) has yet to resume throwing, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) is headed to the 10-day disabled list with a lingering blister issue on his right middle finger. He left his start early on Friday after four innings because of the blister, and it was his third straight start cut short because of the injury. Thomas Pannone will come up from Triple-A Buffalo to start against the Orioles on Wednesday, but he's a poor streaming option. He's ranked as the team's No. 27 prospect but was 0-3 with a 4.91 ERA in six starts in the minors this year. Stroman just has never gotten on track this year and can likely be dropped in most mixed leagues.

Toronto Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman (blister) is heading back to the disabled list for the second time this season. Stroman had been bothered by the blister for a while, and it became quite bad on Friday against the Yankees. This season is a foregone conclusion at this point for the Jays, so there is no need to rush Stroman back. Thomas Pannone was called up and will be starting on Wednesday against the Orioles. Pannone has a 5.36 ERA across 50 1/3 innings pitched in three different levels of minor league ball this season. He is a risky streaming option, even against a woeful Orioles team.

Stroman allowed five runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two across four innings as he didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Yankees. Following the game, it was revealed that a blister on his pitching hand had flared up, which could require a trip to the disabled list, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) was dealing with a blister issue again during his start on Friday and might need another stint on the disabled list. It wasn't an easy matchup against the Yankees, but Stroman allowed five earned runs on six hits (one homer) while walking two and striking out two over four innings. The right-hander has been up and down this year and has been on and off the DL. His 5.27 ERA and 6.79 K/9 leave a lot to be desired from his fantasy owners. Another DL stint would make him droppable in mixed leagues.

Stroman allowed one run on five hits and one walk while striking out two across five innings as he didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Tampa Bay.

While Toronto Blue Jays starter Marcus Stroman ended up with a no-decision on Sunday afternoon, it was no fault of his. Stroman went five innings, allowing one run on five hits while walking a single batter and striking out two. This season has been a bit of a mixed bag for the 27-year-old, but he is still capable of delivering premium performances. He ERA still sits at an unflattering 5.03 along with a similarly grisly 4-8 record, but the lefty has been better as of late. In his past seven starts, he has a 3-2 record with a 3.16 ERA. He should be owned in deeper leagues and can be used as a valuable spot-starter in smaller leagues when he faces a mediocre opponent.

Stroman will start Sunday's game as scheduled.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) is confident that he can manage the blister that developed during his start on Tuesday and said, "I won't be missing my next start." He was pulled from the game after giving up just two hits and an unearned run while walking three and fanning four in seven strong innings against the Red Sox. It's an encouraging outing for Stroman, who has been better since he returned from the disabled list at the end of June. He's worth running with in his next start this weekend against the Rays.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (finger) was removed from his start on Tuesday with a right middle finger blister. The injury puts a sour note on an otherwise great night for Stroman, as he held the first-place Red Sox to just two hits and an unearned run while walking three and striking out four over seven innings. Stroman's overall numbers don't look great, but he's been decent since returning from the disabled list in late June, entering Tuesday's start with a 3.99 ERA since June 23. He doesn't strike out many (7.07 K/9), but he can still be useful in deep mixed leagues. Here's hoping his finger injury won't keep him from his next start.

The Atlanta Braves have engaged the Toronto Blue Jays on starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, according to a source. Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos is familiar with Stroman from his time as Toronto's GM, and Stroman would fit Atlanta's approach to building for the future as a controllable piece. However, Stroma's value is low with his 5.42 ERA this year after he spent time on the disabled list with right shoulder fatigue. With a weak starting pitcher market at the deadline, Stroman could attract significant interest. Since returning from the DL, Stroman has a 3.03 ERA. He'd benefit from moving from a hitter-friendly environment in Toronto in a tough American League East.

Several teams have checked in on Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, but there is strong belief that the Blue Jays will hang onto him. Stroman has been up and down and has dealt with injuries this year, posting a 5.42 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 7.3 K/9 over 13 starts. A trade would likely increase his fantasy value, but it seems unlikely to happen with him under team control for several more years.

Stroman improved to 3-7 on the year after tossing seven innings Saturday against the Orioles, allowing just a single run on five hits and a pair of walks while striking out seven batters.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman was rocked by one of MLB's worst offenses on July 4 -- the New York Mets -- but rebounded against one of baseball's best -- the Atlanta Braves -- on Tuesday. Go figure. Stroman earned the win by pitching 6 2/3 innings, allowing only one earned run on six hits and two walks while striking out five. Talk about not seeing this one coming. Stroman has all the makings of a pitcher that will be consistently inconsistent; he may be worth an add in deeper formats but fantasy owners will probably find disappointment when they're least expecting it with him -; while watching him succeed on your fantasy bench in tough matchups.

Stroman (2-6) tossed seven innings of one-run ball to get the win Tuesday against the Braves, allowing six hits and two walks with five strikeouts.

Since returning from the disabled list, Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman found success in two stellar outings against the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit Tigers. In perhaps the juiciest matchup of the three against the lowly New York Mets, however, Stroman was unfortunately lit up. In a 6-3 loss to the Amazins on Wednesday, Stroman allowed six earned runs on six hits and four walks across 4 2/3 innings pitched while striking out only two. Stroman has his most difficult test since returning on Wednesday in Atlanta against the Braves, and we wouldn't recommend starting him in that one after he couldn't find any success against possibly MLB's worst offense.

Stroman (1-6) took the loss Wednesday, allowing six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two over 4.2 innings against the Mets.

Stroman (1-5) picked up the win Friday, allowing two runs on five hits over seven innings while striking out four in a 3-2 victory over the Tigers.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman had been out since May 8 due to right shoulder inflammation, but made a triumphant return against the Los Angeles Angels on Saturday. Stroman had a short outing, as expected, but pitched a scoreless five innings with six hits, five strikeouts, and a walk. You can't ask for much more than that after the long layoff. There's no doubt Stroman makes for an intriguing fantasy add with the success he's had in the past, but we would like to see him do it once or twice more before running to pick him up. If you wanted to add him now in 12-team formats (and larger), though, you wouldn't be crazy to do so.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman (shoulder) is set to make his return to the mound this weekend against the Los Angeles Angels. Stroman finished his rehab assignment at Single-;A Dunedin, going 4 1/3 innings while giving up two runs, four walks and one hit. The Blue Jays will hope that Stroman's right shoulder is back in 2017 form, as he's given up 32 earned runs in just 37 1/3 innings thus far in 2018. Keep Stroman on the waiver wire until he proves he's back up to par in shallow mixed leagues.

Rehabbing Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman tweeted on Monday night that his next start would come with the big club, and it sounds as though he's right. According to Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet, that start will come this upcoming weekend against the Los Angeles Angels. Stroman was supposed to make his second rehab start on Monday with Double-A New Hampshire, but it was rained out and he instead threw a simulated game. As of now, we do not know what kind of restrictions Stroman may have in his first game back. Dealing with a shoulder injury since spring training, a healthy Stroman should be able to improve greatly on his awful 7.71 ERA upon his return. Check back here for confirmation, but it certainly sounds as though Stroman will be returning in a few days.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman was supposed to have a rehab start with Double-A New Hampshire on Monday, but it was rained out. One would think Stroman would simply start the Fisher Cats' next game as he rehabs from right shoulder inflammation, but according to Stroman that will not be the case. Late Monday night, Stroman tweeted that his next start would be back with the Blue Jays. While we don't have confirmation on that, odds are Stroman wouldn't publicly say that if it was not the case. Assuming that's true, it would seem he could take the mound on Saturday when the Jays travel to Los Angeles to take on the Angels. Whenever his next start comes, it likely won't be a long one -; he only threw 59 pitches in his first rehab outing with High-A Dunedin last Wednesday, allowing two runs over 4 1/3 innings pitched. We'll probably see a cap of somewhere around 75 pitches for Stroman's next effort. Stroman is a great bet to vastly improve upon his 7.71 ERA upon his return, assuming he is truly healthy again.

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman continues to make his way back from right shoulder inflammation, and the next step in the process will be a start on Wednesday. Toronto has not released details as to which affiliate Stroman will be pitching for. On Friday, Stroman threw a simulated game at the Blue Jays' minor league complex in Florida, hurling three innings. Clearly, he's making nice progress -; we just don't know how much with the team scant on details as to who he's starting for and what kind of start it will be on Wednesday. When Stroman returns, he's a good bet to improve upon the awful 7.71 ERA he put up prior to injury.

Stroman (shoulder) is scheduled for another rehab outing Wednesday, but the Blue Jays have yet to decide whether he'll toe the rubber for a minor-league affiliate or pitch in a simulated game at extended spring training, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
