SIMMONS: Blue Jays selling hope and stadium renovations as new season begins What to expect from the Blue Jays this season? Not as much as management said it would deliver.

Erik Swanson - Likely ticketed for IL Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Swanson (forearm) will likely begin the season on the 15-day injured list, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Impact Toronto appears set to head into Opening Day without its top setup man in Swanson and its closer in Jordan Romano, who is unlikely to be available for the first couple weeks of the season while building back up from an elbow injury. Swanson seems to be in a similar spot to Romano in his recovery from a right forearm tightness, as the former has been able to play catch in recent days and is expected to resume throwing off a mound around the middle of the week. If Swanson is able to throw multiple bullpen and live batting practice sessions without issue, he could head out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment before joining the Toronto bullpen when or shortly after he's eligible to come off the IL on April 9. While Swanson and Romano are both temporarily out of the Blue Jays' bullpen mix, Yimi Garcia, Chad Green and Tim Mayza could be candidates to pick up saves.

Jordan Romano - Likely to open season on IL Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that it's "reasonable to say" that Romano (elbow) will begin the season on the injured list, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Impact Erik Swanson (forearm) is also expected to be IL-bound, which could leave closing duties, at least initially, to Yimi Garcia or perhaps Chad Green. Romano was slated to play catch over the weekend and the hope is that he'll begin ramping up with mound work soon, so it's possible his stint on the injured list is a relatively short one. For now, though, there is no timetable.

Kevin Gausman - Starting Monday, hopes to avoid IL Gausman (shoulder) will start the Blue Jays' Grapefruit League finale Monday versus the Pirates and expects to throw around three innings or 55 pitches, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca...
Impact Gausman will be making his spring debut Monday after he received the green light to start following a successful side session Saturday. Though Gausman still won't be fully built up for a traditional starting role even if Monday's outing goes smoothly, both the right-hander and the Blue Jays are optimistic that it will be enough for him to avoid a stint on the 15-day injured list to open the season. Manager John Schneider has already confirmed Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt and Yusei Kikuchi as the starters for the Blue Jays' first three games of the team's season-opening series with the Rays that begins Thursday, while Bowden Francis tentatively lines up to take the hill for Sunday's series finale. Gausman thus appears positioned to start the Blue Jays' fifth game of the season, an April 1 road matchup with the Astros. Davidi speculates that Gausman would likely be in line for a 65-to-70-pitch outing in Houston and progressively get stretched out before handling a more typical starter's workload by his third start of the season.
