Matt Shoemaker likely to miss at least one start with knee injury
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Matt Shoemaker can’t seem to catch a break when it comes to injuries.
Shoemaker sprained his knee Saturday while executing a rundown, and underwent an MRI. While the results of that are not in yet, the expectation is that he will land on the IL and miss at least a start.
#BlueJays are awaiting the results of an MRI on Matt Shoemaker. Regardless, expect him to hit the IL & miss at least one start.

Shoemaker has been plagued by awful injury luck, including an extremely frightening incident in the 2016 season. He has also had arm injuries since then. It’s even more frustrating, as Shoemaker had gotten off to a very good start with his new team, going 3-0 with a 1.57 ERA in his first five starts as a Blue Jay.
