TORONTO - Some news and notes from the Blue Jays clubhouse: PILLAR SOAKS IT IN “It was everything I thought it would be,” said Pillar. “The bright lights, the noise, the stadium crowd, the speed of the game. Its definitely real when you play against guys you grew up watching.” Pillar made a highlight reel, head-long, diving catch to rob Bostons Jonny Gomes of a hit in the fifth inning. JOHNSON HAS MRI “Its kind of exactly where it was," said Johnson. “Kind of away from all of the repair and everything and never felt anything in there.” Performed by famed orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews, Johnson had the Tommy John elbow ligament replacement procedure in 2007. The Blue Jays will send the results of Johnsons MRI to Andrews for further evaluation. ROGERS TAKES ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITY While Rogers didnt pick up the victory in Wednesday nights win, he left after six innings with the lead after allowing one run on five hits. For a guy whod allowed 20 earned runs in 12 1/3 innings over his previous three starts, it was a welcome turnaround. “I dont care whos going to face me, whos going to pitch for the other side,” said Rogers. “A lot of people pitch (against me) like Verlander or Lester (Wednesday) night. A lot of good pitchers Ive faced this year. Im going to do my job. This is a big opportunity for me.” After being removed from the rotation days earlier, Rogers was making a spot start after Josh Johnson went on the disabled list with a right forearm strain. Manager John Gibbons suggested Rogers had earned the right to make another start. Esmil Rogers 28th birthday was a happy one. Josh Johnsons MRI on his injured right forearm revealed a strain. The diagnosis came as no surprise after the pitcher insisted the pain wasnt related to his elbow.Kevin Pillar went 0-4 in his major league debut on Wednesday night. Having never been to Toronto before, let alone play a baseball game in the city, Pillar was wide-eyed all night. Air Max Günstig Bestellen .
