Zach Pop - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Suffers setback on rehab Pop is back in Toronto being evaluated after feeling renewed discomfort in his right hamstring during his most recent rehab appearance, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Impact It had seemed like Pop's return to the Blue Jays' bullpen was imminent, but now he's hit a bump in the road. It's not clear at this point how big of a setback it is. He's been sidelined since early May.

On rehab assignment Pop (hamstring) is scheduled to make another rehab appearance Friday with Low-A Dunedin, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Pop worked around a walk and a hit-by-pitch to deliver a scoreless inning Tuesday in his rehab debut with Dunedin. He should be a consideration for the Blue Jays' bullpen sometime next week, assuming all continues to go well on the farm. The right-hander has been out since May 5 with a right hamstring strain.

To face hitters Saturday Pop (hamstring) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The workout will be a significant step forward for Pop, who has been on the shelf since May 5 because of a right hamstring strain. He could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment sometime next week if all continues to go smoothly and might be an option again for the Blue Jays' bullpen in early June.

Throws bullpen session Pop (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Pop has been on the shelf for the last two weeks with a strained right hamstring but would appear close to heading out on a rehab assignment. The reliever posted a 6.59 ERA over 15 appearances before getting hurt.

Continuing throwing program Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Pop (hamstring) is continuing to move through his throwing program, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact According to MLB.com, Pop was cleared to resume playing catch last Tuesday, just five days after suffering the right hamstring strain that forced him to the 15-day injured list. While it's unclear whether Pop has reached the point in his throwing program where he's facing hitters, the 26-year-old right-hander doesn't look as though he's in danger of being sidelined much longer than the minimum 15 days. He may require a brief rehab assignment prior to being activated, however.

Blue Jays place reliever Pop on 15-game injured list with hamstring strain PITTSBURGH - The Toronto Blue Jays have placed right-handed reliever Zach Pop on the 15-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

MAY 5, 2023 • THESTAR.COM

Placed on injured list Pop was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain.

Impact Pop had to be helped off the field Thursday after injuring his hamstring. The 26-year-old reliever has struggled this season to the tune of a 6.59 ERA and will now be out for at least two weeks. Jay Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to fill Pop's spot on the roster.

Exited with hamstring issue Pop exited Thursday's game against the Red Sox with right hamstring discomfort, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Blue Jays said they will give Pop the night to rest and reevaluate him tomorrow. However, the injury appears to be a longer-term issue that will ultimately force him to the injured list. Pop has struggled early on this season, posting a 6.59 ERA across 13.2 innings.

Suffers apparent leg injury Pop was helped off the field by a trainer after suffering what appeared to be a right leg injury Thursday against the Red Sox, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact Pop struck out Jarren Duran in the eighth inning, but he started to limp after the final pitch of the at-bat and had to be removed from the game. It's unclear if a stint on the injured list will be required.

Expected to win bullpen spot Pop appears set to open the season in the big-league bullpen with Mitch White battling elbow soreness, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact White was expected to begin the season as a long reliever if he lost out on the fifth starter role to Yusei Kikuchi, but instead he now appears headed for the injured list. Pop pitched well this spring, posting a 9:1 K:BB through six innings, and he'll likely be used in middle relief in the majors.

Likely headed for Triple-A Pop has minor-league options remaining and is expected to begin the season with Triple-A Buffalo, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 26-year-old right-hander is a big-league quality arm and posted a 2.77 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 39 innings last season between the Marlins and Blue Jays, but he'll be a victim of the numbers game coming out of camp. Look for Pop to be one of the first pitchers promoted when injuries or heavy usage necessitate reinforcements for the Toronto bullpen.
