Upon hearing the news that the Blue Jays placed Roy Halladay and Scott Downs on the DL yesterday, I can't help but wonder how this will effect their plans with regards to the trading deadline.Even though the Blue Jays sit just 5 games out of first in the AL East and just 2 games back of the wild card, their uninspired play over the last 25 games has to be a major cause for a...

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- The Toronto Blue Jays recalled right-hander Jeremy Accardo from Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday.

Toronto ace Roy Halladay is headed to the disabled list. The Blue Jays plan to put Halladay and closer Scott Downs on the DL on Thursday, further depleting their injury-riddled pitching staff. Right-hander Casey Janssen was placed on the 15-day DL before Wednesday night's game against the Phillies. Left-hander Brad Mills was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to take Janssen...

The Jays announced that starter Roy Halladay and closer Scott Downs will both be placed on the disabled list Thursday. The team will put Halladay on the DL retroactive to June 13, so he'll be eligible to return June 28.

Today's drop was written a brief period of time ago, just before Toronto closer (and, inevitably, a guy that I own in a roto league) Scott Downs hit the disabled list after attempting to run after batting.

He lasted eight innings against the powerful Phillies lineup, allowing just five hits and one run, the lone tally coming on a solo homer by Jayson Werth. He showed Halladay like control, walking just [...]

Toronto Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay will be placed on the 15-day disabled list on Thursday.

Scott Richmond absolutely lit up the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday night.The 29-year-old rookie struck out a career-high 11 over eight innings and got some hefty run support from his Toronto Blue Jays for a 7-1 win. Richmond surrendered just five hits and retired his last 13 batters, which is a nice turn-around after going 0-3 with a 5.81 ERA over his previous five starts.The righty’s...

Don't get me wrong, I've got faith in the Phillies and believe they can right their recent troubles but they seem pretty lucky to have a three game lead on the New York Mets atop the NL East. And by lucky I mean thankful that the Mets simply stink at the game of baseball lately. The Fightins could have lucked out tonight with Roy Halladay missing a start due to a strained...
