are now onto the eighth man on their starting pitching depth chart one series into the new season.
In his place enters Reid-Foley, the 23-year-old right-hander with big time stuff who debuted last year but had a rough spring, allowing 14 runs on 14 hits and eight walks in 15 innings with 13 strikeouts. The Blue Jays kicked around giving the outing to Sam Gaviglio or Thomas Pannone, but opted for Reid-Foley, who was slated to pitch a minor-league game Sunday.
Richard, who underwent knee surgery last August, said his current issues are unrelated to his past troubles. A stress reaction can be a precursor to a stress fracture and he said there’s pain whenever he puts any sort of weight on the knee.The Blue Jays managed “to do some things to alleviate the pain” before the minor-league start, “but unfortunately coming out of it, it got to the point we needed to take time off of it and let it heal.
That left the Blue Jays to play the rest of the game as a National League team, which isn’t ideal with only 12 position players on the roster. As things turned out, the decision allowed Freddy Galvis to keep his consecutive games played streak alive as a pinch-hitter in the 10th inning.
