The Toronto Blue Jays have been hit with a number of setbacks since reloading their roster following a Cinderella playoff run.

The Blue Jays have lost new pitcher Cody Ponce for the year, with position players like George Springer and Addison Barger hitting the injured list recently as well. And reigning All-Star catcher Alejandro Kirk continues to recover after undergoing surgery on his hand shortly after Opening Day.
