Paxton Schultz has been placed on the 15-day injured list by the Toronto Blue Jays due to inflammation in his right middle finger. This comes shortly after a disappointing outing where he allowed three runs and five hits in just 1.1 innings during a lopsided loss against the Boston Red Sox. In his absence, the Blue Jays have recalled left-handed pitcher Justin Bruihl from Triple-A Buffalo, who has impressed with his performance this season, not allowing a run in his limited appearances.

Schultz has posted a 4.56 ERA with 27 strikeouts over 23.2 innings this season, while Bruihl has a 3.68 ERA during his time with the Bisons. This move reflects the team's need to bolster their pitching staff amidst Schultz's struggles and injury.
