Brandon Morrow is day-to-day with a stain

Brandon Morrow who left two starts a go after being hit on his shin and tonight he faced two batters and throw only 9 pitches in the game and is now day-to-day with a strained left oblique muscle and is now day-to-day. So right now the next couple will determine if Brandon Morrow will end up pitching the finale of this week long homestand against the Phillies on Sunday so it is going to start tomorrow when he arrives at the Rogers Centre and the coaches will find out how soar his left arm is and then on Wednesday will be the day he is supposed to throw off the mound and how he feels the next couple of days will decide if he throws on Wednesday and if so Thursday or Friday the Jays will make a decision on if Morrow will pitch on Sunday or someone else will be taken his turn. If he is unable to pitch Sunday then three pitchers that followed him will be top contenders to pitch the finale on Sunday starting with Chad Beck who had pitched 3.2 innings and was charged 3 runs(2 earned) on 3 hits with two walks and three ks and was a good bridge in the game to the rest of the Bullpen but he been strictly a closer and this outing was the longest of the season. Then it was Luis Perez who pitched 2.1 innings tonight and gave up a run on 6 hits with a k and has been a starter in the past but looks like he is not the sharpest in the bullpen right now. Carlos Villanueva closed out the Nationals in the ninth with a 1-2-3 inning and is also a former starter and is the most likely pitcher in the bullpen to start if Morrow can not. If they need to make a call to the farm for a starter it might be the opening that Brett Cecil has been looking for as he has pitched 5 straight games where he has not allowed more than 2 runs in a start of at least 4 innings until he pitched only 3 innings last Wednesday but only gave up a hit over his outing. He is still struggling with walks as he has walked 3 batter in his past three games before last Wednesday start where did not give up one. Jesse Chavez in Las Vegas has a 6-2 record in 11 starts with a 3.68 ERA and and he has given up 3 or less runs in 9 games and he pitched at least 5 innings in his last 10 games and has a complete game along with pitching 7 innings in a game and 8 innings in a game while given up 54 hits in 63.2 innings pitched. He also pitched a 5 inning relief appearance with the Jays allowing 3 runs on 4 hits and 7 ks in the finale in Texas. In Washington's 6-3 victory Bryce Harper had as many hits as the Jays 3 and add a walk to and was at the plater with a 2-1 count on him when Morrow left and he ended up scoring twice and added a RBI in his first Masjor League game in Canada. The Jays got a solo homer from Colby Rasmus in the bottom of the first and a pinch hit two-run homer from Yan Gomez in the ninth as Edwin Jackson pitched quite well heading into the ninth as he gave up a run on 3 hits with 3 walks and 3 ks before being lift after Encarnacion opened the ninth with a double. Jays will need a good outing from Alvarez tomorrow Tom Mehegan
