With Ryan Borucki and Clayton Richard out until at least mid-to-late May and now Matt Shoemaker done for the season, the Blue Jays are in desperate need of some starting pitchers to step up, eat some innings and be on the mound every fifth day.
Major League veteran and long-time Red Sox pitcher, Clay Buchholz has done just that over his first three starts in Toronto.
He hasn’t been dominant or even great by any means, but he has been able to provide some relief for a pitching staff that is filled with tons of questions marks, including the Aaron Sanchez fingernail incident that forced him to exit Sunday’s game (although he is still scheduled to start on Saturday).
