Jason Grilli is a fan favourite who wears his emotion on his sleeve and is the glue that holds the Blue Jays bullpen together so it would have been a painstaking assignment to send the hurler packing to the reliever graveyard with little hope of a return.
However, Grilli appears to have turned a corner and his manager is beginning to utilize him in higher leverage situations once again after spinning scoreless innings in 9 of his last 10 appearances.
The reliever has only allowed 2 runs since May 06th and has managed to lower his earned run average to 6.
