Dominant in third hold Chatwood struck out four over 1.2 perfect innings of relief to record his third hold of the season in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

Impact All of the right-hander's holds have come in his last three appearances, as he's taken on a high-leverage role since returning from an IL stint due to triceps soreness. Chatwood has a 0.00 ERA and 9:2 K:BB through 6.1 innings to begin the season, but as yet there's no indication he could move into the saves mix for manager Charlie Montoyo.

Likely to return Friday Chatwood (triceps) will likely be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Chatwood has been on the injured list since April 9 due to right triceps soreness, but he'll likely be available in time for Friday's series opener in Tampa Bay. The right-hander made three appearances this year prior to his injury and allowed four hits and one walk while striking out three in 2.2 scoreless innings.

Could return this week Chatwood (triceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list shortly after being eligible Monday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The 31-year-old landed on the injured list April 9 with soreness in his right triceps, but he may not end up missing much more than the 10-day minimum. Chatwood delivered 2.2 scoreless innings over three appearances before landing on the shelf.

Plays catch Chatwood (triceps) played catch Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact He is on the shelf with right triceps soreness and is without a timetable to return. The next steps would seemingly be bullpen sessions followed by live batting practice.

Placed on injured list Chatwood was placed on the 10-day injured list due to right triceps soreness Friday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Chatwood made three relief appearances to begin the season and allowed four hits and a walk while striking out three in 2.2 scoreless innings. However, he hadn't pitched since Monday and will now miss time due to a triceps issue. Manager Charlie Montoyo said Friday that he wasn't sure how much time Chatwood will miss, but he's optimistic that he'll be in line for a short-term absence. Joel Payamps and Ty Tice were recalled by the Blue Jays in corresponding moves.

Solid numbers this spring Chatwood has posted a 2.35 ERA and 6:1 K:BB over 7.2 Grapefruit League innings.

Impact The right-hander has been a starting pitcher most of his career, but after coming over from the Cubs in the offseason, Chatwood has been converted to a full-time relief role by the Jays. With Kirby Yates (elbow) out of the picture, Chatwood could find himself seeing plenty of high-leverage work alongside Jordan Romano and Rafael Dolis.

Preparing for high-leverage work Chatwood has been told to prepare for a high-leverage relief role this season, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Chatwood has been a starter in 143 of his 197 big-league appearances to date, with the majority of his relief outings coming in 2019. His strikeout rate out of the bullpen sits at 19.3 percent for his career, nearly three points better than his 16.5 percent mark as a starter though still hardly a typical mark for a high-leverage arm. It's certainly possible his stuff plays up now that he's fully dedicated to the role, but he's unlikely to seriously challenge Kirby Yates for saves and will likely be behind Jordan Romano and Rafael Dolis should Yates struggle or get injured.

Headed to injured list Chatwood (elbow) will be placed on the 10-day injured list, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.

Impact Chatwood underwent an MRI on Monday after leaving Sunday's game with right elbow discomfort. The team is still waiting on the results, but manager Jed Hoyer said that the results revealed "largely good news." He'll spend some time on the injured list, although Hoyer was hopeful that he could return prior to the end of the season. Jose Quintana should fill his role in the starting rotation going forward.

Dealing with elbow issue Chatwood was removed from Sunday's game against the Reds with right elbow discomfort, Maddie Lee of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The 30-year-old suffered the injury during the third inning when he spiked a pitch well in front of the plate. He didn't allow a run over 2.1 innings before exiting the contest. Chatwood doesn't have a timeline for his return but will be further evaluated Monday. Jose Quintana is likely to enter the starting rotation should he miss any time.

Struggles in return to mound Chatwood (2-2) lasted just 1.1 innings and took the loss Tuesday against the Tigers. He allowed two runs on three hits and five walks, while striking out two.

Impact Chatwood wasn't expected to go particularly long in his first start since Aug. 6 due to a back injury, but the team likely wanted him to retire more than four batters. The righty was simply all over the place with the five walks, which surpassed his season total of four coming into the night. When Chatwood has struggled in past seasons, free passes have been a big part of the issue, so he'll need to exhibit better command moving forward if he wants to get back to the form that left him with a 0.71 ERA through his first two starts of the year. He'll now carry a 6.06 ERA into his next outing, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Reds.
