Blue Jays Place Matt Shoemaker On 10-Day IL

By Mark Polishuk | April 21, 2019 at 2:12pm CDT

The Blue Jays have placed righty Matt Shoemaker on the 10-day injured list due to a left knee sprain, as per a club announcement (via Twitter).  Infielder Richard Urena has been recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Shoemaker suffered the injury on Saturday, while participating in a rundown to record the last out of the third inning of Toronto’s 10-1 win over the A’s.  The right-hander was replaced by Sam Gaviglio to begin the next inning.  Shoemaker is scheduled to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of his injury, and the potential timeframe for his return.  A lengthy IL stint could scuttle Shoemaker’s value as a potential deadline trade chip for the rebuilding Blue Jays, given his strong early-season results.

After tossing only 108 2/3 total innings in 2017-18 for the Angels due to multiple forearm problems, Shoemaker had a 1.57 ERA, 7.53 K/9, 51.4% grounder rate, and 2.67 K/BB rate over his first 28 2/3 innings in a Blue Jays uniform.  There is certainly some good fortune baked into those results, as Shoemaker’s .335 xwOBA far outweighs his .243 wOBA and he has also received some good batted-ball (.183 BABIP) and strand rate (87.2%) luck.  That said, Shoemaker also has a career-best 13.4% swinging strike rate.

    First of all he should not have been in that rundown to begin with. Then, he reacted like he got shot.

    Glad to hear it’s not as serious as he thought. He’s had a great start to 2019.

      You’re right. Except Sogard didn’t go to first base when Jansen released the throw to first base. His mistake forced Shoemaker to be involved.

    Even if hes out a while he has an extra year of team control. Dont rush him. If need be shop him in the offseason as a financially inexpensive mid-rotation piece. I bet most teams would love to have him for $7m and a potential draft pick as opposed to a huge contract with the loss of one
