The Toronto Blue Jays lose Jesse Litsch for the season
The Blue Jays have lost 24-year old righty starting pitcher Jesse Litsch for the season due to Tommy John Surgery. Litsch only started 2 games for the Jays this season and he was 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA and a 1.67 WHIP. But, Litsch has had a good career with the Blue Jays to this point and he will be missed. Litsch has now pitched in 51 games (50 starts) in his major league career and he is 20-19 with a 3.83 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. It’s amazing that the Blue Jays are playing as well as they are this season as they are now without 27-year old Shaun Marcum, 27-year old Dustin McGowan and Litsch who were their #2-#4 starting pitchers last season. The Jays hope all of the three will have complete recoveries and help them at some point in the 2010 season.
