Toronto is having to get creative with its pitching.

Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Mason Fluharty left Saturday’s game against the Athletics in the seventh inning after being struck on the right leg by consecutive infield singles. Fluharty replaced Braydon Fisher to begin the inning and gave up a leadoff single to Jeff McNeil that bounced in front of the mound and struck the Toronto reliever above the right knee. Manager John Schneider and a trainer came out to check on the 24-year-old Fluharty, who stayed in to face Max Muncy.

The Toronto Blue Jays have a ton of options for the big league bullpen, but one young arm is projected not to make the roster.
