Path for Blue Jays to survive early injuries has been walked before by world champions

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays’ early-season injury issue isn’t new for Patrick Corbin.The Jays are down five starting pitchers, three of their most important bats and a key reliever. Others are playing through minor injuries and illness, too. The Jays, losing 8-2 against the Minnesota Twins to fall to 6-9 on Sunday, don’t look much like the team that went to the World Series last year. They look, instead, like a team ravaged by injuries.“It does feel like ‘woe is me,’” manager John Schneider said. “But it can’t be that.”Corbin has been here before. If anything, he’s experienced worse.Advertisement
