Dylan Cease Placed on 15-Day IL With Mild Hamstring Strain

The Toronto Blue Jays placed right-hander Dylan Cease on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a mild left hamstring strain. Manager John Schneider indicated optimism for a minimal stay, noting the injury "doesn't look too terrible." Cease has been a standout performer and a potential All-Star candidate for Toronto this season. His absence creates a temporary void in the starting rotation while he undergoes rehabilitation and works toward a return to the mound.
