JAYS' RYU ON 10-DAY INJURED LIST

The Toronto Blue Jays have placed left-handed pitcher Hyun Jin Ryu on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to neck tightness. The move is retroactive to Saturday, one day after Ryu's last start, where he lasted just two innings and gave up five runs in a 7-3 loss to the Minnesota Twins. Ryu, 34, shares the team lead with 13 wins but has struggled in his last two starts. Before Friday's early exit, he gave up seven runs in 2 1/3 innings against the Baltimore Orioles on Sept. 11. Toronto general manager Ross Atkins said Ryu woke up with neck tightness on Saturday. Left-handed pitcher Tayler Saucedo was recalled from triple-a Buffalo to take Ryu's spot on the roster. Saucedo, a 28-year-old rookie, has appeared in 27 games for the Blue Jays this season, posting a 4.24 ERA over 23 1/3 innings.
