Shoemaker (1-0) picked up the win Friday against Detroit by after allowing two hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven scoreless innings.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker was impressive in his first outing with the Blue Jays, blanking the Tigers through seven frames. After being held to just seven starts a season ago due to injury, he'll aim to turn over a new leaf in Toronto. Shoemaker is scheduled to toe the rubber next against the Orioles on Wednesday.

Manager Charlie Montoyo confirmed that Shoemaker would start the Blue Jays' second game of the season Friday versus the Tigers, Scott MacArthur of Sportsnet 590 The Fan Toronto reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker will settle into the pitching schedule between Opening Day starter Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez, with Trent Thornton and Clayton Richard rounding out the rotation. Injuries have limited Shoemaker to just 21 starts at the big-league level across the past two seasons, but he reported to spring training healthy and generally looked good across his five outings. Though he gave up 10 runs in 18 innings, he limited the opposition to a .185 average and posted a 20:8 K:BB.

Shoemaker gave up three runs on three hits and two walks over five innings while striking out seven in Wednesday's Grapefruit League game against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

The former Angel is on track to begin the season as the Jays' No. 3 starter, and while Shoemaker's 20:8 K:BB through 18 spring innings is encouraging, he's also served up five homers -- including one Wednesday by journeyman Andy Wilkins, who hasn't seen a big-league at-bat since 2016. A propensity for giving up long balls is a recipe for disaster in the AL East, so while Shoemaker still has some intrigue as a late-round lottery ticket and streaming option, he should be viewed as an extreme ERA risk in shallower fantasy formats.

Shoemaker allowed one run on four hits and a walk over 5.1 innings while striking out three in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

Facing a lineup that was a mix of Opening Day starters, bench players and prospects like Estevan Florial, Shoemaker only ran into trouble in the fourth inning after Gleyber Torres and Troy Tulowitzki led off the frame with back-to-back singles, but the right-hander emerged relatively unscathed. Shoemaker now boasts a solid 13:6 K:BB through 13 spring innings, and he appears just about ready for the regular season.

Shoemaker gave up three runs on two hits and four walks over three innings during Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Compounding his control issues was the fact that both hits against Shoemaker left the yard, off the bats of Rhys Hoskins and Lane Adams. While the right-hander has now fanned 10 through 7.2 spring innings, he's also given up four homers, a worrying ratio for a pitcher who posted a 1.5 HR/9 in 108.2 innings over the last two seasons. The Jays are counting on Shoemaker to fill a mid-rotation role for them, but if he continues to serve up long balls -- a weakness likely to be regularly exploited in the AL East -- his health might not be the only thing keeping him from shouldering a full workload in 2019.

Shoemaker allowed two runs on two hits and a walk over 2.2 innings while striking out five in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis

A Luke Voit solo shot put a blemish on the right-hander's outing, but otherwise Shoemaker plowed through a New York lineup that featured few of its veteran starters. The Blue Jays continue to add starting pitching options, most recently inking Clay Buchholz to a deal, but if he's healthy Shoemaker figures to be locked into a mid-rotation role to begin the season.

Shoemaker threw 32 pitches in his first action of spring training Wednesday, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

He gave up a solo home run to the second batter he faced, but otherwise Shoemaker had a solid first outing in a Jays uniform. A compressed nerve in his forearm and other injuries have limited the right-hander to 108.2 big-league innings over the last two seasons, but after surgery to correct the issue, he's hoping to return to the form that saw him post a 3.96 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 8.0 K/9 for the Angels between 2014-16. Toronto will keep a close eye on his workload this spring, but if Shoemaker stays on course he should give the Jays some reliable mid-rotation innings in 2019.

Shoemaker is scheduled to start Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker joined the Blue Jays this winter following a pair of injury plagued seasons with the Angels, during which he combined to make just 21 starts while recuperating from two forearm surgeries. He at least ended the 2018 campaign on the mound for Los Angeles and enters the upcoming season at full health and with a rotation spot in hand. Assuming the forearm issues don't crop up again, Shoemaker could make for an attractive late-round dart in light of the occasional success he's enjoyed in the past when he's been healthy and commanding his stellar split-fingered fastball effectively.

Shoemaker agreed to a one-year deal with the Blue Jays, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing time in each of the last two seasons with forearm issues, Shoemaker will look to rehab his market value on a one-year deal. While this landing spot assures him of a long leash in the rotation, the move to the AL East means most mixed-league managers will want to pick their spots with when to deploy him.

Shoemaker wasn't tendered a contract for the 2019 season by the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Shoemaker is set to become a free agent after missing the majority of the 2018 campaign due to a forearm strain. He made seven starts for Los Angeles upon his return from the 60-day disabled list in September, posting a 4.94 ERA with 33 punchouts over 31 innings. Teams may be hesitant to give Shoemaker a shot in 2019, given his extensive history with arm injuries. He's been unable to toss more than 80 frames in either of the previous two years.
