When the Blue Jays went out and traded for Yangervis Solarte and Aledmys Diaz this past offseason, there was good reason for it. Their talented infield of Troy Tulowitzki and Devon Travis were mostly effective when they were on the field, but the problem was neither was able to suit up very often.
In 2017 they combined for just 112 games played, and while Tulowitzki had a long injury history, it was disappointing to see his keystone mate following a similar path so early in his career. Devon Travis has dealt with his fair share of time in the rehab room for being just 27 years old, and the 2018 season was a step in the right direction to avoiding it going forward.
