<p>Palmer was Toronto&#8217;s third-round pick from the 2020 draft. He put up a 3.00 ERA over 16 starts in his first professional season in 2021 with the Low-A Dunedin Blue Jays. In 2021, he started off with High-A Vancouver and posted a 4.18 ERA over six starts and got called up to Double-A New Hampshire in May.</p>
<p>Palmer made seven starts with the Fisher Cats and had a 3.69 ERA. On July 1, he put together his strongest outing of the season, striking out nine batters over five-and-two-thirds of shutout innings against the Portland Sea Dogs. Palmer went on the Injured List after that outing and didn&#8217;t make another start for the rest of the season.</p>
<p>Murray was the Blue Jays&#8217; eighth-round selection in the 2018 draft. In his first full professional season in 2019, Murray moved from Low-A to High-A to Double-A and posted a 2.75 ERA over 137 1/3 innings across the three levels.</p>
<p>Since then, Murray&#8217;s progression has been completely derailed due to injury. He made just one appearance in 2021 in Rookie Ball and threw 20 2/3 innings in 2022 in Double-A. He allowed eight earned runs over three-and-one-third innings on May 3 and underwent Tommy John surgery later that month.</p>
<p>Mitchell also noted that CJ Van Eyk, Toronto&#8217;s second-round pick from the 2020 draft, is expected to be ready to go for the 2023 season after having Tommy John surgery last year. Van Eyk put up a 5.83 ERA over in 19 starts in his first and only professional season with Vancouver in 2021.</p>
