TORONTO (AP) — Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow left Tuesday’s game against Atlanta after just two innings with soreness in his forearm.
Right-hander Ramon Ortiz replaced Morrow, who allowed four runs, two earned, and four hits, including a home run. He walked none and struck out two. Of his 47 pitches, just three were above 90 mph.
A Blue Jays spokesman said the injury was not considered serious and that Morrow was not expected to miss his next start.
Morrow did not pitch between May 5 and May 18 because of neck and back soreness. He came in 2-3 with a 5.50 ERA in nine starts.
