Cecil left Friday's Game 2 of the ALDS with tightness in his calf and is being evaluated, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The left-hander completed a scoreless eighth inning on 12 pitches, but was clearly hobbled as he left the field. Saturday is an off day in the series, but Cecil's availability for Sunday is a question mark. Aaron Loup is the only other lefty reliever on the Blue Jays' ALDS roster.

Cecil (5-5) pitched a scoreless inning and struck out two in a 4-3 victory over the Orioles on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Cecil has not surrendered an earned run since before the All-Star break, a June 21 outing against the Orioles. He has not allowed a homer since even earlier in the year, with the last gopher ball against him coming on June 10 against the Marlins. The hard-throwing southpaw has multiple strikeouts in seven of his 13 relief appearances in September, and his 11.38 K/9 rate speaks to his ability to mow down opposing batters at a blistering clip. Cecil will undoubtedly serve as a key component of Toronto's postseason bullpen.

Cecil picked up the loss, pitching 0.2 innings and striking out two and giving up an unearned run.

EDGE Analysis

Cecil navigated the end of the seventh inning by striking out a pair, but bungled a ground ball to put on what would end up being the winning runner in the eighth inning. Cecil hasn't given up an earned run since June 21, which has allowed his ERA to drop from 5.96 to 2.77.

Cecil pitched a perfect inning, striking out one in Monday's loss to the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Cecil needed just seven pitches to navigate the eighth inning, lowering his ERA to 3.21. Cecil has fallen out of favor since the trade deadline, but the one-time closer for the team is still a serviceable reliever for them. While he probably won't see higher leverage situations again this season with Roberto Osuna, Mark Lowe, Aaron Sanchez and LaTroy Hawkins all seeing opportunities before Cecil.

Cecil pitched 1.1 innings, striking out two while giving up one hit in Monday's loss to the Red Sox. Since abdicating the closer role, Cecil has pitched pretty well, not giving up an earned run in either of his two appearances after giving up eight in his previous three. Cecil's strikeout totals have been strong all season, but his propensity for putting men on base makes him a risky proposition. Cecil's currently in the position as just another reliever until he regains the trust of the coaching staff means appearances will come with far less regularity.

Cecil has been removed from the closer's role with the Blue Jays, Barry Davis of Sportsnet reports. Cecil has melted down in his last three outings, allowing two, two, and four earned runs in that span. His command had fallen off as well, walking multiple batters three times this month after walking two batters in all of May. Davis reports that Osuna may be in line to take over in the long run, but Steve Delabar would be called upon in a save situation Tuesday.

Cecil took the loss on Sunday, surrendering four earned runs in 0.2 innings. After only allowing one earned run between April 28 and June 10, Cecil has been a wreck of late. In his last six appearances, he's given up earned runs in five of them and watched his ERA nearly double from 3.00 to 5.96. Cecil's grasp on the closer role is quickly slipping through his hands; however, the Blue Jays have no natural replacement as the whole pen has struggled this season.

Cecil notched his fifth save, despite allowing two runs on three hits in the ninth inning of a 5-4 win against Baltimore on Friday night. He struck out one. After going 39 days without a save opportunity from early May until early June, the chances are starting to come but Cecil has been shaky of late. His ERA has now ballooned to 4.50, and he blew a save and took the loss in his last appearance. If the Jays decide to look at other options, there is no clear candidate. Roberto Osuna pitched well early in the season, but has struggled a bit recently. Steve Delabar might be a consideration, but he has a history of tough times against lefties. A dark horse possibility may be Liam Hendriks who has actually been their most reliable bullpen arm for most of the year.

Cecil took the loss and a blown save Monday, allowing two runs in 0.2 innings. Cecil allowed a bloop hit to Lucas Duda to score the game-tying run, and then Duda came around to score on a Wilmer Flores single off of Liam Hendricks. The blown save was Cecil's first since being installed as the closer in Toronto.

Cecil pitched a perfect 11th inning Saturday, striking out one, to notch his fourth save of the season. Finally, the save chances are starting to come Cecil's way, and so far he's been up to the task. He now has a solid 3.10 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 24:6 K:BB ratio in 20.1 innings on the season.
