CARL EDWARDS NEWS

Headed for IL Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Edwards (abdomen) is "for sure out" and will be placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Mitch Bannon...

Impact Toronto will officially place Edwards on the IL and announce a corresponding call-up shortly before Wednesday's 7:07 p.m. ET opening pitch. Montoyo indicated that Edwards will undergo an MRI after he exited Tuesday's game with left abdominal discomfort, so Toronto may not have a clear timeline for his return from the IL until the results of his tests are available.

Suffers abdominal injury Edwards was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Yankees with left abdominal discomfort, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander recorded an out and exited mid-at-bat after throwing three straight balls to his second batter faced. Edwards had his contract selected by the Blue Jays on May 30 and has struggled since the promotion with seven runs allowed over 5.1 frames before Tuesday's contest.

Contract selected by Toronto Edwards had his contract selected by the Blue Jays on Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 29-year-old inked a minor-league deal with the Blue Jays in mid-May and will join the big-league roster after delivering four scoreless outings at Triple-A Buffalo. Edwards has struggled to find his place in the league over the past few years since posting a 2.60 ERA and 23 holds with the Cubs in 2018.

Injury not considered serious Edwards (forearm) is only expected to miss a couple of weeks, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

Impact After Edwards was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, manager Scott Servais said that he has a strain in his flexor mass in his elbow that isn't considered serious. The right-hander is only expected to miss a couple of weeks, but that absence will be more significant during the 60-game season in 2020. However, the team expects him to return before the end of the season.

Placed on 10-day IL Edwards was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm strain Monday.

Impact Edwards has been dominant for the Mariners this season and picked up his first save of 2020 during his most recent appearance, but he'll now be sidelined for several games. The move is retroactive to Friday, so the right-hander would be eligible to return in the middle of next week, but it's unclear whether he'll be able to do so. Bryan Shaw was recalled from alternate camp in a corresponding move, and Taylor Williams could have more ninth-inning opportunities in Edwards' absence.

Earns save against Angels Edwards notched his first save of the season Wednesday against the Angels. He tossed a scoreless inning, striking out two.

Impact Edwards has looked impressive to start the season, tossing four straight scoreless appearances while fanning six in 3.2 innings across that stretch. It remains to be seen if he will handle the closer role on a permanent basis moving forward, but he should remain one of Seattle's main relievers for the foreseeable future.

Impressing early Edwards, who fired a scoreless sixth inning during which he allowed a hit and recorded two strikeouts during a win over the Astros on Sunday, has been impressing manager Scott Serv...

Impact The 28-year-old arrived in Seattle looking to put an utterly forgettable 2019 behind him, a season he finished with an 8.47 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 22 appearances with the Cubs and Padres. Sunday's ultra-efficient outing -- one in which he threw eight of 11 pitches for strikes while mowing down Martin Maldonado and Jose Altuve on swinging strikeouts -- was preceded by an Opening Night appearance in which the one hit and run he allowed came on a Carlos Correa flyball that Jose Marolejos lost sight of in left field. Edwards use for an inning apiece in two of the first three games of the season would seem to bode well for his overall volume expectations, considering he proved capable of handling a heavy workload during multiple seasons with the Cubs earlier in his career.
