“That postgame was really weird” update:
Gibbons on Stroman shaking his arm: "He's always gyrating ...we just got to the point where we thought it was smart to get him out of there"
Gibbons continued: "Plus, it was a tough night for him anyway. He wasn't going to last much longer anyway." #BlueJays
Should I have an opinion about this?

Stro-ah Syndergaard Update:
I got nothing.
Except this:
Stroman called it "general arm tightness" and said that he will start Tuesday vs Cleveland. Said he doesn't need to be examined. #BlueJays
Well… uh… that’s a relief?
Specific area for the soreness? Stroman: "No, just general. I just had trouble getting loose today ... it's not something I'm worried about"
Cool then?

Welp, That’s Not Ideal Update:
Gibbons said Stroman left the game because of tightness in his throwing arm. #BlueJays
Though this sounds slightly less ominous:
John Gibbons says Marcus Stroman "had some tightness in his arm," #BlueJays felt "it was smart to get him out" of game.
More as it comes…

Original Post:
Welllllllll this is just fucking typical…
At the time of this writing the Jays haven’t said anything, and Rivera seems to be the only one reporting this news. Which isn’t to say it’s not true, it’s to say “good scoop!” And also, “Oh my pants-shitting fuck, I hope it’s not true, or if it’s true, I hope it’s not a big deal!”
With Happ, Sanchez and Stroman all hurt the #BlueJays are considering some adjustments for Marco Estradas next start.
These tweets are literally all I’ve got right now. Hold me.
