MINNEAPOLIS — One month into his return to the big leagues, Blue Jays reliever Chad Green has provided another quality arm to a Toronto bullpen loaded with talent.
His reinstatement after undergoing Tommy John surgery last year has given Toronto manager John Schneider a right-hander who can be used in a variety of situations.
"The power is there, the depth to his slider is there, the command is there," Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Monday."He's been a really nice addition with an incredible set of experiences and a great reputation." "You can put him anywhere," Schneider said in a recent interview."He's ready for anything and he's done that over the course of his career.Toronto spent most of the stretch drive hovering around the playoff cutline before finally nailing down a berth last Saturday. The Blue Jays were scheduled to open the best-of-three wild-card series on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field.
Green capped the regular season with a 3-0 record, a 5.25 earned-run average and 16 strikeouts over 12 innings pitched."A guy that takes and wants the ball," said Yankees manager Aaron Boone."Super accountable. Has maybe quietly been one of the best relievers — in a non-closer — in the sport over the last half-decade or so before finally last year he had to have Tommy John.
