Dylan Cease to Make a Rehab Start on Thursday
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease (hamstring) was cleared to make a minor-league rehab start at Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday after he threw a bullpen session on Tuesday in Atlanta, according to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet. Cease also did some change-of-direction running drills. Depending on how things go with Buffalo later this week, Cease could be ready to come off the 15-day injured list to rejoin Toronto's starting rotation next week. If the 30-year-old only needs one rehab start, his next outing could line up next week versus the Philadelphia Phillies. He'll be a bit more risky for that matchup, but Cease has been solid for the Jays and fantasy managers in his first year in Canada, going 3-3 with a 3.05 ERA (2.58 FIP) and 1.21 WHIP with a league-high 92 strikeouts and 26 walks in 62 innings across his first 11 starts. Cease has four quality starts on the season and has had at least seven strikeouts in all five of his starts in May. He shouldn't be floating around on any waiver wires out there.
