TANNER ROARK NEWS

Surrenders three in no-decision Roark allowed three runs on three runs and three walks while striking out two over five innings Monday against the Rays. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Roark gave up a solo homer in the second, followed by a two-run shot to right before exiting with a 3-1 deficit. The Blue Jays would rally in the sixth and seventh, allowing Roark to come away with the no-decision. The 33-year-old sits with a 2-1 record to go along with a 4.91 ERA and 17:13 K:BB over 22 innings this season, and while he hasn't looked overly sharp, his club has managed to win four of the five games he's started so far this year.

Collects second win Roark (2-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Orioles after giving up two runs (one earned) on nine hits with five strikeouts and one walk over five innings.

Impact The veteran right-hander certainly wasn't at his best Wednesday as he allowed 10 baserunners, but he benefited from the Orioles running into two outs at home plate. Roark has a 4.76 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 15:10 K:BB through 17 innings (four starts), and his next outing lines up for Monday in Tampa Bay.

Allows three runs Friday Roark allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out four over four innings in Friday's win against the Rays. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact Roark hasn't been able to get into a groove over his past two starts, but he finished with a no-decision due to the Blue Jays' rally late in the game. The right-hander now carries a 6.00 ERA and 10:9 K:BB over 12 innings during his first three starts of the season. He'll look to turn things around on the road Wednesday against the Orioles.

Can't find plate Friday Roark (1-1) took the loss Friday, giving up four runs on three hits and five walks over three innings in a 5-3 defeat at the hands of the Red Sox. He struck out one.

Impact The right-hander was making his first start since July 28 due to the Blue Jays' scheduling chaos, and the layoff clearly affected him -- Roark threw only 31 of 68 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, and two of the three hits off him left the yard. The 33-year-old will look to rebound in his next outing, scheduled for next Friday at home against the Rays.

Earns win with five solid frames Roark (1-0) earned the win Tuesday against the Nationals after allowing one run on three hits and zero walks over five innings. He recorded five strikeouts.

Impact The 33-year-old was a bit limited in his first start of the season as he was lifted after 73 pitches, but it was still a strong outing to begin 2020. Roark is scheduled for the two-start week and lines up to pitch against the Phillies on Sunday, and he should continue ramping up his pitch count as the season progresses.

Throwing bullpen Thursday Roark is expected to toss a bullpen session Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The timing of the bullpen session means that Roark won't start in the Blue Jays' opening series, but he should be on track to pitch early next week. The right-hander hasn't thrown his normal workload in past sessions, but Thursday's bullpen could provide a better idea of how many innings he could last to begin the season. It's possible that he could piggyback with a long reliever for his first few turns through the rotation.

Likely limited to start season Roark is expected to toss four innings Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander is locked into a rotation spot for the Jays, but it doesn't appear as though Roark will be ready to handle a regular workload to begin the season. Don't be surprised if he piggybacks with a long reliever for his first start or two, limiting his chances of picking up a win.
