Dolis (hand) is not available to pitch in Thursday's game against the Yankees, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The righty, who exited Wednesday's contest with a numb right hand, is still being evaluated to determine the extent of his absence. A stint on the injured list is possible for Dolis, but it's unclear at this time whether that will be necessary.

Dolis left Wednesday's game against the Yankees with right hand numbness, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Charlie Montoyo said Dolis couldn't feel the ball and had no sensation in his throwing hand. More details about the reliever's health should become available Thursday after further evaluation.

Dolis (1-2) was tagged with the loss in relief Friday against the Red Sox, giving up one hit and one unearned run while not retiring any of the batters he faced.
EDGE Analysis
Dolis entered the game in the ninth inning with a 5-5 tie, but he was downright awful and let the game slip away, though he also had a bit of bad luck. Enrique Hernandez reached second following a throwing error from Bo Bichette and then came around to score following a game-winning RBI single from Alex Verdugo. This means Dolis has now allowed runs in two of his last three appearances, but he still owns a 1.80 ERA with a 12.6 K/9 -- but a woeful 7.2 BB/9 -- over his last six outings.

Dolis (1-1) allowed three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out one across one inning Thursday, taking the loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Dolis entered in a save situation in the ninth inning but squandered a two-run lead as J.D. Martinez slammed the game-winning home run off him with two outs. This was the first blown save for Dolis this season. The 33-year old has a 5.52 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP with 17 strikeouts in 14.2 innings. His 6.8 BB/9 needs to come down if he's going to become a more reliable reliever.

Dolis (calf) was reinstated Tuesday from the 10-day injured list and will be active to start the Blue Jays' series against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The right calf strain ultimately proved to be a minor injury for Dolis, who returns to the bullpen after a minimum stay on the IL. Before struggling in his last outing when he suffered the injury, the righty had allowed just one run in his previous 11 relief appearances, tallying three saves and a hold in that span.

The Blue Jays are expected to activate Dolis (calf) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dolis' strained right calf has checked out fine following a bullpen session and a live batting practice session in recent days, so he looks like he'll be available for the start of the Blue Jays' three-game home series with the Red Sox. Toronto already created an opening on the active roster for Dolis by optioning reliever Nick Allgeyer to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

Dolis (calf) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The activity represents the first step forward for Dolis in the recovery process since he was placed on the 10-day injured list over the weekend with a right calf strain. Barring any setbacks, Dolis looks on track for an abbreviated stint on the IL.

Toronto placed Dolis (calf) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Dolis' move to the IL clears a spot on the active roster for Nate Pearson, who was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Astros. With Dolis temporarily joining Julian Merryweather (oblique) and Kirby Yates (elbow) on the shelf, Jordan Romano looks like the top candidate for saves in Toronto's murky closer picture. Tyler Chatwood and Ryan Borucki could also factor into the ninth-inning conversation.

Dolis has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 calf strain and won't pitch Saturday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dolis exited Friday's loss to the Astros with his right calf injury, and he's currently considered day-to-day after an MRI revealed a Grade 1 strain. The Blue Jays are hopeful that the injury improves in the coming days so Dolis can avoid a trip to the injured list. Jordan Romano could be an option for ninth-inning work in Dolis' absence.

Dolis was removed from Friday's loss to the Astros due to right calf tightness, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dolis failed to record an out prior to his removal from Friday's game, and he'll undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury. Jordan Romano could serve as the interim closer if Dolis misses time.
