Swanson had been sidelined for close to three weeks due to inflammation in his spine. He will rejoin the back end of the Blue Jays bullpen as they look to make a final push for the playoffs.

The Blue Jays placed Erik Swanson on the 15-day IL with thoracic spine inflammation.

Swanson was removed from his relief appearance Saturday and underwent an MRI that revealed the spine inflammation. The team has yet to release a timetable for his rehab and potential return. The Blue Jays have called up Jay Jackson from Triple-A Buffalo.

Erik Swanson allowed one run, but secured his fourth save of the season against the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact

Swanson allowed three straight singles after entering the game with one out. It was a fly ball double play that clinched the win for him and Toronto after a fly ball was hit to the warning track and Reese McGuire was doubled off at second base after he appeared to think the ball was either gone or off the wall.

Erik Swanson continued his solid season, recording his third save of the year in the Blue Jays' 4-1 win over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact

In his 50th appearance of the season, Swanson showcased his dominance on the mound, allowing just one hit while striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work. With a 3.44 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP on the season, Swanson has been a reliable option out of the bullpen for Toronto, contributing 26 holds and a 10.3 K/9 rate.

Erik Swanson entered the game in the ninth inning with a one-run lead and quickly retired the Mets on 16 pitches, striking out one batter to earn his first save of the season and secure the 2-1 victory for the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

The outing lowered Swanson's season ERA to 2.93 on the season. He should continue to work in a set-up role in the Blue Jays bullpen.
