Marcus Stroman Comeback Could Be Final Nail in AL Challengers' Coffins

The non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone, but the Toronto Blue Jays might have one more big addition left up their sleeves.

Yes, Troy Tulowitzki and David Price were huge pickups, and since they arrived north of the border, the Jays have streaked to the forefront of the playoff chase.

But right now, we're talking about a guy who's been there all along, waiting in the wings: Marcus Stroman.

A shade more than five months after tearing his ACL during spring-training fielding drills, Stroman will throw a 40-pitch simulated game Monday and could pitch for Triple-A Buffalo in the first week of September, per Sportsnet.
