Losses and injuries mount for Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays lost yet another game and yet another player to injury Sunday, as starter J.A. Happ was forced to leave in the fifth inning before the Baltimore Orioles slugged their way to an 11-4 win. It’s another discouraging blow for the Blue Jays (2-10), whose awful April represents the worst start in franchise history. The team later announced that Happ (0-3) — who tied the team record for left-handers with 20 wins in 2016 — left the game with left elbow soreness, with no word on the severity of the injury. The Jays delivered more bad news before the game, announcing that Aaron Sanchez would be placed on the 10-day disabled list with a blister on his right middle finger, while Josh Donaldson missed his third straight game with a calf strain that has him sidelined indefinitely.
