Cease Struggles Shake Blue Jays Rotation | Toronto Blue Jays News

Dylan Cease’s rough outing against the Athletics—five runs in five innings, 94 pitches, five stolen bases—has sent shockwaves through Toronto’s playoff push, pushing his ERA against Oakland to a career-high 5.63 and forcing a critical pivot: Jose Soriano’s start today is now make-or-break for the Blue Jays’ rotation plan. With Scherzer on deck Friday and the team now below .500 with just 17 games left, any misstep could mean short-rest starts or a full rotation overhaul. Despite his elite strikeout numbers and overall ERA, Cease’s rebound is urgently needed—or Toronto’s wild card hopes may vanish before the season ends.
