Reinstated, sent down Zeuch (shoulder) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Zeuch spent the minimum amount of time on the 10-day IL due to right shoulder tendinitis, but he'll report to Triple-A to begin the minor-league season. He posted a 6.75 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in 12 innings to begin the year.

To IL with shoulder tendinitis Zeuch was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder tendinitis.

Impact He has a 6.75 ERA and 1.92 WHIP with more walks (seven) than strikeouts (six) through 12 innings. Santiago Espinal was called up in a corresponding move.

Takes loss in relief Sunday Zeuch (0-2) gave up two runs on three hits and a walk while fanning one Sunday against the Royals. He was tagged with the loss.

Impact Zeuch entered the game in the seventh with a scoreless tie but had a complicated outing. He was greeted with a Carlos Santana single and a two-run shot from Salvador Perez before Jorge Soler double to left field. He retired Hanser Alberto and Hunter Dozier but walked Michael Taylor and Kyle Isbel to load the bases with two outs before retiring Nicky Lopez with a groundout. Zeuch has struggled badly this season and has given up a least two runs in each of his last three outings, which translates to a 6.75 ERA across 12.1 innings in four appearances (two starts).

Surrenders four runs in no-decision Zeuch gave up four runs on four hits and two walks over four innings during Wednesday's 5-4 win against the Yankees. He had two strikeouts and did not factor in the decision.

Impact The 25-year-old limited New York to one run through three frames but was lifted after allowing three runs during the fourth inning. The right-hander was pressed into starting duty Wednesday after Ross Stripling was scratched with forearm tightness, so Zeuch could make another turn through the rotation early next week at Boston. He's given up 11 runs (seven earned) on 13 hits with a 5:6 K:BB over 11.1 innings through three starts this season.

Making Wednesday's start Zeuch is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Ben Wagner of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Toronto had previously listed Ross Stripling as its probable starter for the series finale, but manager Charlie Montoyo said the right-hander was scratched after developing forearm tightness. The Blue Jays are viewing Stripling as day-to-day for now, but given that this sort of injury often results in a player moving to the injured list, Zeuch could have some staying power in Toronto's rotation. After he was hammered for seven runs (three earned) in 3.1 innings against the Angels last Friday, Zeuch looked like he might have been on the outs for a rotation spot after Robbie Ray (elbow) was activated earlier this week and with Nate Pearson (groin) closing in on a return from the IL.

Surrenders seven runs Zeuch (0-1) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Angels, surrendering seven runs (three earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out two across 3.1 innings.

Impact Zuech served as the primary pitcher Friday, following the opener David Phelps. His defense did him no favors though. After a two-out fielding error committed by Bo Bichette four unearned runs would cross the plate in the second inning. Zeuch settled down in the third and fourth innings before serving up two home runs in the fifth inning, ending his night.

Following opener Friday Zeuch will work as the bulk pitcher behind opener David Phelps against the Angels on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The 25-year-old was the expected starter for Friday's contest, but he'll instead operate as a primary pitcher. Zeuch delivered four scoreless frames in his first start of the season last Sunday, so following an opener could help him qualify for a victory.

Likely to start Friday Zeuch appears in line to start Friday's game against the Angels, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Zeuch is serving as a placeholder in the rotation for Robbie Ray, who was forced to begin the season on the shelf with a bruised elbow. Ray appears ready to return from the injured list after completing a 63-pitch simulated game Wednesday without issue, but because he'll receive the usual four days of rest, he's not expected to make his 2021 debut until Monday's game against the Yankees. That paves the way for Zeuch to pick up his second start Friday after he held his own against the Yankees in his first outing April 4. He covered four scoreless frames in a no-decision, working around three hits and a walk.

Tosses four scoreless frames Zeuch tossed four scoreless innings Sunday against the Yankees, giving up three hits and a walk while fanning one. He didn't factor into the decision.

Impact As expected, Zeuch didn't go deep enough to qualify for the win but limited the damage and recorded four scoreless frames. Zeuch might not last long in the rotation but got the spot start since the organization is quite shorthanded when it comes to rotation depth, and with that in mind, he might be in line to make another start at some point next week.
