Tepera (elbow) will utilize a rest and treatment recovery plan, and is not scheduled to visit a specialist, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

He was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with right elbow inflammation, and says the injury is "more of a recovery thing" where the soreness lingers after outings. It's on the inner part of his elbow, which would typically be concerning, but so far the tests the Blue Jays have administered have come back negative. While it's encouraging that he doesn't yet seem destined for surgery, Tepera is without a timetable to return. Tyler Clippard and Seung Hwan Oh are the favorites to get saves leading up to when Roberto Osuna (suspension) returns on Aug. 5.

Tepera was placed on the 10-day disabled list Saturday with right elbow inflammation, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the first we've heard of an elbow issue for Tepera, who had been leading a closing committee for the Jays. Tyler Clippard, who got the save in Friday's game against the Tigers, now appears to be the leading candidate for saves, while Seung Hwan Oh could also get some chances. Roberto Osuna (suspension) will be activated on Aug. 5, so if Tepera's elbow issue lingers, he may have collected his final save of the season.

Tepera recorded only one out in the ninth inning before serving up a walkoff, two-run home run to Alex Bregman in Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

The Jays' closer-of-the-moment has now blown saves in two straight appearances after converting six in a row. Tepera hadn't been taken yard since May 6, however, and he still has a 2.19 ERA and 14:2 K:BB through 12.1 innings in June despite Wednesday's slip. With Roberto Osuna (suspension) out until at least August -- assuming the team doesn't just trade him in the meantime -- Tepera likely still has six weeks of save opportunities ahead of him if he can avoid too many stumbles.

Tepera gave up two hits and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning to collect his fifth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Braves on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't the cleanest appearance, as Tepera allowed two inherited runners to score before finally slamming the door on Atlanta, but the right-hander is still 5-for-5 in save chances since moving into the closer role for Toronto. With Roberto Osuna (administrative leave) not close to resolving his off-field legal issues, Tepera should remain the top choice in the ninth inning for manager John Gibbons.

Tepera gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his fourth save of the season in a 6-5 win over the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

He's now converted four straight save chances since being given his opportunity at the closer role in late May, posting a 2.53 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB in 10.2 innings over eight appearances during that stretch. Tepera isn't going to evolve into a dominant ninth-inning option, but as long as he's getting the job done, the Jays aren't likely to make another change.

Tepera gave up a hit in 1.1 scoreless innings to record his third save of the season in Friday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Entering the game in the eighth inning with two outs and runners on first and third, Tepera got Manny Machado to ground out before taking case of business in the ninth. The 30-year-old hasn't exactly been dominant since getting his shot at closing, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB in eight innings, but he's converted all three of his save chances and Tepera should remain in the role unless he falters.

Tepera worked around a walk in a scoreless inning of work to record his second save of the season Sunday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Staked to a two-run lead, Tepera walked the first man he faced but was able to retire the next three to close out the game. After failing to record a save prior to Friday, Tepera has now done so in back-to-back appearances, albeit in less convincing fashion in his previous outing. Still, he looks to have climbed the pecking order for save opportunities in the continued absence of Roberto Osuna.

Tepera picked up his third win of the season in Wednesday's victory over Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

The 30-year-old right-hander allowed just one walk and struck out one opposing batter over his inning of work, lowering his ERA to 3.06 for the season. Tepera has appeared in 19 of the Blue Jays' 37 games and has carved out a late-inning role with the club, as he's typically utilized in the eighth inning during high-leverage situations by manager John Gibbons. Though his ERA, WHIP of 1.19 and 19:6 K:BB are all healthy totals, be wary of a 5.18 FIP which indicates that he may be due for a little regression in the coming months.

Tepera is working on developing a split changeup, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Tepera is expected to serve as one of the Blue Jays' top setup men in 2018, the reliever noted that he'd ultimately love to join the team's rotation at some point down the line, which prompted him to add a third offering to his repertoire this offseason. The 30-year-old hasn't started since 2013, when he posted a 4.70 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 20 starts (99.2 innings) with Double-A New Hampshire. He finished the 2017 campaign with a 3.59 ERA and 81:31 K:BB across 77.2 innings of relief.

Tepera allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one across one inning to earn his second save Saturday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Tepera was fortunate to come into the game with a three-run lead, as he allowed four runners to reach base before finally closing out the contest. He was able to earn the save while taking over for Roberto Osuna (neck), and will likely return to his set up duties in which he's already recorded 15 holds on the season.
