The Toronto Blue Jays lose Dirk Hayhurst
The Blue Jays will be without 28-year old lefty reliever Dirk Hayhurst for the next 4-6 months after having surgery earlier today to repair fraying in the labrum of his right shoulder. Hayhurst pitched in 15 games (0 starts) for the Blue Jays last season and he was 0-0 with a 2.78 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. The Blue Jays are deep in the bullpen so they should survive until Hayhurst is ready to return to action in 2010.
UPDATE: The Blue Jays have placed Hayhurst on the 60-day disabled list to open up a roster spot.
