Stroman (11-8) took the loss Wednesday against Baltimore after allowing two unearned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out seven over six innings.
EDGE Analysis
Two unearned runs in the first inning led to a tough loss Wednesday for Stroman, who hasn't found the win column in his last five starts. He worked around a bit of trouble by doing what he does best -- inducing double plays -- and now leads MLB pitchers with 30 double plays on the season. In 30 starts this year, Stroman owns a solid 3.08 ERA, but a less than stellar 1.31 WHIP over 184.1 innings. The right-hander will look to get on track and snag his first win since mid-August when he toes the rubber for Tuesday's home game against Kansas City.

Stroman (11-7) allowed four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six across six innings to take the loss Friday against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Stroman gave up all of the damage when he allowed a grand slam to Nick Castellanos, while the offense was unable to score enough runs to take him off the hook for the loss. He's held opponents to two or fewer earned runs in six of his last seven starts, and despite having won just a single game over the past month, he remains as a decent fantasy starter. He'll make his next start Wednesday against the Orioles.

Stroman (elbow) will take the mound for Friday's game against the Tigers, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stroman was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion after getting struck by a line drive during his previous outing this past Saturday. The right-hander was able to toss a side session Wednesday, and with all systems checking out, appears ready for Friday's series opener after receiving an extra day of rest due to the club's scheduled off day.

Stroman (elbow) will throw a side session Wednesday to determine his status for Friday's start against the Tigers, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Stroman exited his last start in the second inning with an elbow contusion, though the 26-year-old remains confident he'll be able to take his next turn in the rotation. He was able to play catch Tuesday with no issues, and if he checks out after Wednesday's side session, he'll be cleared to make his next start on schedule.

Stroman (elbow) said via his Twitter feed that he's "good" and will "be ready to rock" for his next start Friday vs. Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
The Jays' ace avoided a potentially serious injury when he was struck by a line drive that forced him out of Saturday's game against Baltimore. Stroman was diagnosed with a right elbow contusion, but he's confident there will be no need to skip his turn in the rotation this week.

Stroman has been diagnosed with a right elbow contusion, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
X-rays were negative, which is great news as it looked like a potentially serious injury when it first happened. The ball that struck Stroman was clocked at 107.5 mph off the bat of Mark Trumbo, and Stroman was writhing in pain on the ground immediately following the incident. His status for his next start may not be determined until early next week.

Stroman left Saturday's game after being struck in the arm by a line drive.
EDGE Analysis
Stroman went down in a heap after being struck by a ball off the bat of Mark Trumbo, and he seemed to be clutching his right arm. He struck out three of the first six batters he faced before Trumbo stepped to the plate.

Stroman allowed just two runs (one earned) on seven hits and struck out four over six innings but was stuck with a no-decision Monday against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Stroman now has four quality starts in his last five outings with a nifty 25:7 K:BB over 32.1 innings. Unfortunately, he is just 1-1 over that stretch. The bullpen promptly gave away Stroman's lead in the seventh inning. Stroman's 11-6 record this year is solid, but it could be so much better with a little support from his team. He now owns a 3.11 ERA over 170.2 innings in 2017.

Stroman allowed five runs on eight hits -- including three home runs -- and a walk over 5.1 innings Wednesday while striking out four but didn't factor into the decision in a 7-6 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
The Jays staked Stroman to a 5-0 lead through two innings thanks to four homers of their own, and despite his own difficulties keeping the ball in the park he exited the game in line for his 12th win of the year before the bullpen gave up the tying run in the seventh inning. He'd surrendered only one home run in his previous 66.2 innings over 10 starts, so chalk this performance up to it being just one of those nights. Stroman will next take the mound Monday at home against the Red Sox.

Stroman (11-6) took down the Rays on Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and three walks over 6.1 innings while striking out seven.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander continues to give the Blue Jays consistent innings, lasting more than six frames in eight of his last nine starts while posting a 2.17 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 44:24 K:BB in 54 innings. Stroman's benefited from eight unearned runs during that time, however, making his 2.99 ERA on the year somewhat deceptive heading into Tuesday's rematch with the Rays, this time in Tampa.
