Tim Mayza Out For 2020 With Torn UCL

By TC Zencka | September 14, 2019 at 11:25am CDT

Those who saw Tim Mayza exit yesterday’s Blue Jays game won’t be surprised to hear he will miss the rest of this season and all of 2020 after tearing his UCL, per sportsnet.ca’s Ben Nicholson-Smith (via Twitter).

Mazya, 27, has been a big piece of Toronto’s pen this year, often in a situational capacity, though he did rack up 18 holds. Across 68 appearances, the big lefty has a 4.91 ERA/4.73 FIP spanning 51 1/3 innings.

His numbers regressed a tad this year as he reworked an arsenal that formerly featured a four-seamer/slider mix. This year, he relegated the four-seamer to the backseat and drove a revamped arsenal with a sinker as the primary offering, clocked at 94.3 mph.

The result was a slight decline in year-over-year strikeout rate (from 26.5% to 24.2%), an increase in walk rate (from 9.3% to 11.0%), and an increase in hard contact allowed. It’s not all bad, however, as he’s burning worms and depressing launch angle with more regularity this year, though it hasn’t helped his home run rate.

With Tommy John surgery now in the offing, Mayza likely won’t see game action until the 2021 season.

    Really sad. I was watching it live and it looked bad. As a Yankees fan, I wish him well.

    It looked worse than Dave Dravecky and Tony Saunders’ injuries.

      Worse than Saunders’ broken arm flailing about while he screamed? No way.. That will forever the worst.

        Or Dravecky. The end to his career was as awful as it gets.

    On another topic, Tim, bring back Ben Nicholson-Smith! You could easily cut 2 or 3 of these intern kids on the current staff and bring back BNS.

    Hope Mayza comes back stronger than ever. Hated watching it live on TV. All the best to Tim.

    Never like to see that kind of injury. Winced when I saw it. I hope and pray for a complete and quick recovery for Mayza.

    No one likes to see a guy go down. Even in the minors. Which is where Mayza should have been pitching the last 2 years.

    All Montoyo’s fault – 68 appearances in a lost season by a non-high paid guy? Way to go Charlie, you ruined this guys chance at money.

      Number of times Mayza pitched three days in a row this season: ZERO.

        That was your grand point Terry? Wow. Someone could shoot back with “Mayza pitched 4 out of 5 days xx times this year”, or “Mayza pitched 6 days out of 9” etc…

    He had decent stats last year so why did he rework his arsenal?

    Horrible to watch in real time. As soon as the ball came out of his hand you knew it was bad.
