Julian Merryweather (oblique) has been shut down for a couple of weeks.
The Blue Jays got some great injury news on Thursday with the potential return of Jordan Romano and Tyler Chatwood from injuries, but Merryweather's news isn't so good. The 29-year-old is dealing with an oblique injury that has him on the IL since April 14, and there's no chance that he'll be able to make a return when he's eligible on Saturday. Unfortunately, this does appear to be a long-term injury for a pitcher that was really impressing before the strain.
