According to the Blue Jays’ website, relievers Ryan Tepera and John Axford have suffered injuries that will keep them out for at least the start of the season.
CLEARWATER, Fla. — The Toronto Blue Jays were defeated 13-6 by the Philadelphia Phillies in spring training action on Thursday as the team was dealt a battery of bad news on the injury front.
Meanwhile, outfielder Dalton Pompey of Mississauga, Ont./, was scratched from Thursday’s lineup when he bumped his head on a bat in his locker. Pompey has a history of concussion issues. The injuries leave the Jays’ bullpen depleted heading into the season. Toronto plays its opener against visiting Detroit on March 28.
