NICK SANDLIN NEWS

Set to receive PRP injection Sandlin will receive a PRP injection for his right lat Tuesday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Sandlin landed on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right lat strain, and the hope is that the injection speeds up the recovery process. He'll be monitored over the next few days, and how he reacts to the injection will help determine his rehab program and throwing schedule. Sandlin logged a 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, one save and two holds across eight innings prior to his placement on the IL.

Lands on IL due to lat strain The Blue Jays placed Sandlin on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right lat strain.

Impact This is a significant blow to Toronto's bullpen, as Sandlin has been a key member of the unit this season with a 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over eight innings while notching a save and two holds. It's not yet clear if he'll need to miss more than the minimum 15 games, but to make up for his absence, fellow righty relievers Paxton Schultz and Dillon Tate were called up from the minors while righty Jacob Barnes was designated for assignment.

Logs second save in majors Sandlin earned his first save of the 2025 season in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-innings win against the Red Sox, striking out one batter in a scoreless 11th frame.

Impact Sandlin got the call for the save opportunity in the bottom of the 11th inning after Jeff Hoffman tossed two scoreless frames. Sandlin was able to get the job done in just nine pitches (seven strikes) to earn his first save of 2025 and second in his major-league career. Across his first five outings of the season, Sandlin has given up one run on two hits and four walks while striking out six in five frames.

Awarded bullpen spot Manager John Schneider said Saturday that Sandlin will be a part of Toronto's Opening Day bullpen, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Sandlin has made five appearances in the Grapefruit League, surrendering two earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out eight batters over five innings. He'll likely settle into a middle relief role to start the year, though his ability to rack up strikeouts keeps the door open for a healthy amount of high-leverage opportunities.

Seems set for bullpen job Sandlin walked one and struck out two in a scoreless inning during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact The former Guardian was dealt to the Blue Jays in January and appears locked into a bullpen spot, albeit likely only in middle relief to begin the season. Sandlin has posted an 8:3 K:BB through five spring innings with a 3.60 ERA, but he's behind Yimi Garcia and Chad Green in the pecking order for set-up work in front of closer Jeff Hoffman.
