Chris Sale is injured which is the only reason why he isn't starting in a must-win game. They used their other starters prior like Fried, Lopez and Morton during their weekend series against the Royals.
So I guess if their rotation was lucky in 2024, would you use that same description to describe the Jays rotation in 2023? Just curious. As well, losing an ace like Strider and being able to eventually replace him with Spencer Schwellenbach is quite impressive. Yeah a lot of their other arms like Elder, Winans, Vives and Waldrep didn't work out. Wonder what would happen if the Jays lost Gausman?
