Dolis was removed from Friday's game against the Astros in the bottom of the eighth inning with an apparent injury, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dolis was brought in during a non-save situation with the Blue Jays trailing 7-2 on Friday, and he gave up a single and a walk before he exited the game with a trainer. The nature and severity of the right-hander's injury aren't yet known, but Jordan Romano could be a candidate to see save chances if Dolis is forced to miss time.

Dolis struck out the only batter he faced and earned a save against Atlanta on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Dolis was thrown into a two-out, bases-loaded scenario and quickly struck out Ronald Acuna on four pitches to finish the game. The 33-year-old has now converted all three of his save chances and owns a 2.84 ERA across 12.2 innings.

Dolis tossed 1.1 perfect innings Sunday to earn the save against the Rays. He didn't strike out any batters.

EDGE Analysis

Dolis earned his first save of the year in Friday's series opener against Tampa Bay, and he closed out the series with another save Sunday. Right-hander Jordan Romano is likely the slight favorite for save chances now that he's healthy, but he struggled in Saturday's matchup against the Rays and was charged with a loss. Dolis has posted a 3.48 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 10.1 innings this year.

Dolis struck out one in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save against the Rays on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Dolis worked in a setup role during his last outing, but he picked up his first save of the season Friday. The right-hander has now posted a 4.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in nine innings across his first 10 appearances this season. Right-hander Jordan Romano (elbow) has a "strong chance" of being activated from the 10-day injured list, and he could be in contention for ninth-inning work once he returns.

Dolis could step in as the Blue Jays' closer while Jordan Romano (elbow) and Julian Merryweather (oblique) are sidelined, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Romano is expected to return from the 10-day injured list as early as Saturday, while Merryweather is facing a longer absence. Since the Blue Jays are dealing with several injuries in their bullpen, Dolis is the most likely option to see save chances over the next several days. However, it's not yet clear who the Blue Jays will use in the ninth inning once Romano returns to action. In his last five relief appearances, Dolis has allowed one hit and two walks while striking out two in 4.1 scoreless innings.

Dolis (1-0) earned the win Wednesday against the Yankees after recording a strikeout and not allowing a baserunner during a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old delivered a scoreless top of the ninth inning with the game tied 4-4, and he notched his first win of the season when Bo Bichette slugged a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the frame. Dolis should operate as Toronto's primary setup man for the immediate future with Jordan Romano stepping in as the closer after Julian Merriweather (oblique) landed on the injured list Wednesday's.

Dolis (back) retired two of the five hitters he faced in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees, giving up two earned runs on three hits while striking out one.

EDGE Analysis

Dolis battled back spasms late in spring training, but the Blue Jays evidently weren't too concerned about the issue. He's appeared in both of the Jays' first two games of the season, but he struggled to find the zone in Saturday's outing. He threw first-pitch strikes to just one of the five batters he faced and pumped in only 10 of his 24 pitches for strikes on the day. Perhaps most noteworthy was the fact that Dolis entered the contest in the sixth inning, an indication that both Jordan Romano and Julian Merryweather may be ahead of him in the pecking order for saves.

Dolis (back) is on the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster.

EDGE Analysis

Dolis has been battling back spasms in recent days, but it didn't appear as though he'd need a trip to the injured list. That's been confirmed Thursday, though it remains to be seen exactly what role he'll play this season following Kirby Yates' Tommy John surgery. Jordan Romano is seen as the favorite to close with Yates out, though the Blue Jays haven't officially named a new closer.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Sunday that Dolis has been tending to back spasms of late, but the skipper remains optimistic that the reliever will be ready to go for Opening Day, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury is likely the main reason why Dolis hasn't appeared in a Grapefruit League game since March 13, but the right-hander has still been able to build up for the start of the regular season by pitching in "B" games on the back fields at Blue Jays camp. Assuming Dolis avoids any setbacks heading into Opening Day, he should be in store for a high-leverage role out of the bullpen, though Jordan Romano will likely be first in line to close games with Kirby Yates (elbow) out of the picture.

Dolis was named as a closer option Monday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Manager Charlie Montoyo declined to name a full-time closer in the absence of Kirby Yates (elbow). However, he specifically mentioned both Dolis and Jordan Romano as potential high-leverage arms. Dolis pitched fairly well for the club in 2020, picking up five saves to go along with a 31:14 K:BB across 24 innings.
