Blue Jays closer says he is battling anxiety and is ‘a little bit lost’

Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna wasn’t available in the ninth inning Friday when Toronto blew a 4-1 lead to lose 5-4 to the Royals. And now we know why.

Osuna, speaking through a translator on Saturday, said he has been feeling “a little bit anxious, a little bit weird.”

Unsure whether he will be available if needed Saturday, Osuna detailed his issues. From MLB.com:

“I feel great physically,” Osuna said. “It’s just more mentally. It has been a couple of days that I have felt this way. I really don’t know how to explain it.
