Blue Jays Operation: All 30 of the Blue Jays’ Injuries
The Toronto Blue Jays probably won’t win the pennant this year, but if there was an award for injuries, the Blue Jays would take it home. In a cruel twist of fate, they would probably trip and fall and hurt themselves in the process of accepting this award.
Taylor Cole was the latest Blue Jays player to land on the disabled list and his stint officially marks the 25th disabled list stint for the Blue Jays in 2017. Yes, the club has disabled an entire roster this year. In theory, the Blue Jays could’ve fielded a full team of broken-down players.
If anything, at least the Blue Jays have suffered a variety of injuries this year. Enough of them to make up this entire Operation board of all the various injuries sustained by Blue Jays players this year.
