AL Injury Notes: Sanchez, Iwakuma, Dyson, Bush, Kela

By charliewilmoth | September 10, 2017 at 6:50pm CDT

The Blue Jays have announced that righty Aaron Sanchez will miss the rest of the season. Sanchez has dealt with blister issues throughout the year (with four separate DL stints) and hasn’t returned since being placed on the disabled list in late July. After breaking through in the Jays’ rotation in 2016, the 25-year-old will end his 2017 season with just 36 innings pitched, a 4.25 ERA, 6.0 K/9 and 5.0 BB/9. Here are more quick notes on AL injuries.

  • Hisashi Iwakuma and Jarrod Dyson are running out of time to make it back to the Mariners’ active roster before the end of the season, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune writes. Iwakuma, who’s missed four months with shoulder issues, is still hopeful he’ll return this season, but manager Scott Servais says Iwakuma has “still got a little work to do” after throwing 30 pitches in a simulated game Saturday. Dutton adds that the Mariners are likely to pay a $1M buyout rather than exercise Iwakuma’s $10MM option next season. Dyson, who’s out with a strained groin, still felt pain upon participating in drills on Friday. He’s a free agent after the season.
  • Matt Bush is back from the DL, but another Rangers reliever, Keone Kela, isn’t yet ready to return, MLB.com’s T.R. Sullivan writes. Bush, who posted a 3.04 ERA, 10.1 K/9, 3.4 BB/9 and 10 saves over 47 1/3 innings before suffering a concussion and a sprained knee in an on-field collision last month, is likely to pitch high-leverage innings, according to manager Jeff Banister. Alex Claudio will likely continue to close, however. Kela has been out with a shoulder injury since early August. He is set to throw a bullpen session Monday. Kela has posted a 2.36 ERA, 4.2 BB/9 and an outstanding 12.1 K/9 over 34 1/3 innings with the Rangers this season.

    A shame Iwakuma’s been ravaged by injuries. Very underrated pitcher who’s been one of the top starting pitchers in the AL. I can see maybe the Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, Cubs or Red Sox looking to lock him up to a 1 year deal this offseason. They’d be wise to do so. And no Giants fan. He doesn’t wanna play for your garbage organization. Sorry

      Pretty comical you’re saying a pitcher that currently plays for the biggest joke of an organization in all of sports doesn’t want to play for a “garbage organization” that’s won the WS three times since 2010…..and I’m not a Giants fan in the least…..

        The Mariner’s are not even close to being the “biggest joke of an organization” in all of sports. Have you ever heard of the Cleveland Browns? Have you seen the Philadelphia 76’ers the last number of years?

          Well I was going to put a tie with the Browns but figured I didn’t need to, pretty obvious….And no, since the league stole my beloved Sonics 10 years ago the NBA Is dead to me.

    Kuma retires at season end. Sadly he’s done. The window is closing fast for the Ms and they need reliable staring pitching.

    Old news about the Blue Jays Aaron Sanchez. We heard in these pages 3 months ago that Sanchez finger issues weren’t as they were being reported. Don’t listen to the Rogers media Kool-Aid and Blue Jays Mgmt marketing spin. Hopefully they will get it resolved over the winter, because the Jays have 1 good starter in Stroman, an injured one in Sanchez, a declining quickly one in Happ, and forget the rest. No way this team competes next year with the current starting pitching staff. Forget re-signing Estrada, he is on the decline despite a few recent good outings.

      If the Jays were in it, they’d have Sanchez trying a bullpen role but why risk it. Get him on the Rich Hill program if they haven’t already.

      Sometimes Buck or Zaun will be on point but valid Kool-Aid dig.

      Declining quickly in Happ?? 20-4 last year was pretty lucky. Health for him, his catcher and the team offense. Check the game logs. Poor stretch surrounds his missed six weeks. Pretty solid since. Only 3 bad starts. Usual Happ. Not likely to win 20 but a good #3 guy. Give him a real catcher and offense, and he’d be up around 12-6 right now I bet.

      Estrada made it through the season without his back falling apart contrary to some beliefs. Perfectly solid signing as a #5 starter. Jays are not bringing in studs, they need to gain veteran depth which was strongly suggested by you and many others in the offseason. I personally had hope that Sanchez/Liriano/Martin/Travis/Tulo could hold it together and they wouldn’t need to spend but it’s clear that they’ll need to spend on depth in the offseason if they want to survive to contend soon.

      Called up the young offense too late. Just like the Yankees last year. Signing Bautista never had anyone excited really. Spending on bullpen would’ve been better. Spending on starting best. Some teams have found gems throughout the year just by being willing to spend a bit. That stings too.

      This regime is building a very impressive farm, but they could’ve had an even bigger haul at the deadline. Tough negotiator is what it seems like. Pannone might be the closest starter in the system now? Got him for a setup man! Hoping they re-sign Estrada, and a few other arms while they’re at it. Not gonna be easy. Every team wants pitching.

        Yah. In other words they are going to be crap if they don’t spend, spend, spend. All I ask if they are going to be crap, call it like it is and the Jays mgmt and media don’t profess this we are competative kool-aid stuff if they are going to be crap.
