In a worst case scenario for both Toronto and Syracuse, infielders John McDonald and David Eckstein have both been placed on the 15-day DL. Eckstein reportedly has a strained hip flexor, while McDonald has a reported ankle injury. Filling one of the empty roster spots is infielder Joe Inglett. According to the Blue Jays website, GM J.P. Riccardi is looking for a righthanded batter to fill the other spot. He did not tip his hat as to whether the move will be done from the farm or by picking up a free agent/player on waivers, only saying that a trade would not be made.
I would think that the only viable option from Syracuse would be Hector Luna. He is a righty who has been hitting decently this year, but not overly amazing. The only problem with this or picking up a player is that I believe someone would have to be dropped from the 40 man roster, which logically would point to Sergio Santos or Tracy Thorpe. Santos would also be an option to recall since he is already on the 40 man roster, but his play has been anything but Major League worthy.
I'll keep this updated when I hear about the news on Friday. .
As for Thursday night's game...ouch. Romero's first bad outing of an otherwise good season so far. Not much to really say besides that.
