Blue Jays Reliever Casey Janssen Lands On DL; John Macdonald Activated
Just when you think our shaky bullpen couldn’t get any worse news: the Blue Jays have announced today that Casey Janssen has been placed on the 15-day DL with a right forearm strain.

End The Casey Janssen Experiment
Sorry Casey. I know you are a nice guy but you’ve got to go. You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Still, the Jays pen wasn’t a strength last season, and it’s expected that they should...
