Blue Jays notes: Down goes Garcia, fears for Gimenez

The Toronto Blue Jays have surged in the American League East, flipping a three-game deficit into a three-game lead in just one week. However, the team has been dealt a blow as reliever Yimi García returns to the injured list after a brief stint, sidelined by a left ankle sprain. He had previously missed six weeks due to a shoulder injury, but had shown promise with a 2.99 ERA before his latest setback. With García out, newcomers Yariel Rodríguez and Braydon Fisher have risen to the occasion, showcasing a strong 1.71 ERA collectively.

Chad Green had a rocky start to the season but has improved significantly, allowing just one run in his last nine appearances. Meanwhile, Max Scherzer delivered a stellar performance, striking out three hitters in a row during an immaculate inning. The Blue Jays are also dealing with injuries to key players like Andrés Giménez, who is awaiting MRI results on an ankle injury, while Myles Straw steps up in Daulton Varsho's absence, showcasing his defensive skills. The team remains focused as they aim to solidify their position atop the standings.

What are the Blue Jays' chances of maintaining their lead in the AL East?How does the injury to Yimi García affect the Blue Jays' bullpen depth?What impact could Myles Straw's performance have on the Blue Jays' playoffs?What should be expected from Chad Green in the coming weeks?
