In a season full of injuries for the Blue Jays, they’ve been particularly hard time at the keystone positions of second base and shortstop. The expected starters were Troy Tulowitzki and Devon Travis, who will both finish the season on the disabled list. Tulowitzki played in just 66 games, and Travis appeared in only 50.
The club is hopeful that each will return to the fold in 2018, healthy and ready to produce to their respective potentials. However, it’s getting difficult to put much faith in Tulo’s aging body, and Devon Travis has spent more time on the DL than he has on an active roster in his three MLB seasons.
