<p>Just a week-and-a-half after being activated, Ryan Borucki is right back on the 10-day Injured List.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Borucki was sidelined at the start of the season because of a hamstring injury suffered during spring training, but this time it&#8217;s a blister that&#8217;ll be keeping him out of games.</p>
<p>This is really unfortunate timing because Borucki put together a really solid pair of outings and appeared to be rounding into form as a key member of the Blue Jays bullpen. Borucki came into Saturday&#8217;s 3-2 win over the Houston Astros and struck out Michael Brantley in a key spot and he tossed a scoreless ninth inning in Tuesday night&#8217;s comeback win over the Boston Red Sox.</p>
<p>Injuries have been a problem for Borucki for years now. After a breakout showing in 2018 as a starting pitcher, he missed most of 2019 due to injury, and he was limited to just 16 2/3 innings and 23 2/3 innings in 2020 and 2021 respectively just as it appeared as though he was developing into a quality relief pitcher.</p>
<p>Coming up in Borucki&#8217;s absence will be another lefty in Andrew Vasquez, who impressed during spring training while on a minor-league contract. Vasquez tossed 3 2/3 innings in Grapefruit League play and struck out five batters. So far in six-and-a-third innings with Triple-A Buffalo, he hasn&#8217;t allowed a run and has struck out seven.</p>
