<p>The big news today is that Russell Martin joined the Blue Jays&#8217; merry band of broken baseball players on the disabled list. Apparently Russ has a sore left shoulder. Coming up in his place is Mike Ohlman, and in a corresponding roster move, Casey Lawrence has been designated for assignment. Click the link above to read about all of it.</p>

<p><strong>Trevor Bauer: </strong>27 IP, 7.67 ERA, 10.3 H9, 2.0 HR9, 4.o BB9, 10.3 SO9</p>
<p>Trevor Bauer has been about as good at being a terrible pitcher this year as he is at being a huge fuckin&#8217; tool. Now that&#8217;s impressive! He&#8217;s walking everyone, allowing a lot of contact, and even though he&#8217;s racking up the strikeouts, he&#8217;s got a fancy 7.67 earned run average to his name. Woof. Marcus Stroman, on the other hand, has been excellent. He left last week&#8217;s outing in New York due to an arm injury, so hopefully that doesn&#8217;t flare up again, because this team straight up can&#8217;t take another man down.</p>
