Dylan Cease to Start on Tuesday for Blue Jays
Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Dylan Cease (hamstring) will come off the 15-day injured list to start on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. Cease will return to Toronto's banged-up starting rotation after missing two weeks with a left-hamstring strain. He allowed five runs in four innings of work in his lone minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo last Thursday, but his stuff looked good, and he got up to 75 pitches in the outing. The 30-year-old veteran will be a bit riskier in his first start off the shelf against a Phillies team that has looked much better of late. However, Cease has pretty much been a must-start in fantasy baseball leagues in his first year with Toronto, going 3-3 with a 3.05 ERA (2.59 FIP) and 1.21 WHIP with 92 strikeouts and 26 walks in 62 innings pitched over his 11 starts. Overall, the Phillies still rank third-worst in major-league baseball with a .687 OPS on the year.
