Toronto has lost RHP Sergio Santos (their closer) for what is believed to be a period of approximately a month due to discomfort and soreness in his right shoulder. He was examined by Dr. Lewis Yocum and no structural damage was found before being placed on the disabled list last Saturday. Santos had gone 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA and two saves this season before going down with the injury, after posting a 3.55 ERA with 30 saves last season for the White Sox before an off-season trade brought him to the cold and frozen north.
Without Santos, Toronto will use RHP Francisco Cordero, signed in the off-season and one of the greatest closers of all-time, as their ninth-inning man.
