The Toronto Blue Jays have a coming roster crunch. They currently have eight players on the 60-day injured list (IL), but four of them are nearing a return to the major league roster. As per MLB rules, “Players placed on the 60-day injured list must remain on it for a minimum of 60 days and are temporarily removed from a club’s 40-man roster… [but clubs must] clear a spot on the 40-man roster when the injured player is ready to return.
