Stroman struck out four batters and allowed zero earned runs over 4 1/3 innings this spring.

Last season, the Blue Jays went 83-79 and finished in third place in the American League East.

Beyond devastated. Not being able to compete with my brothers each and every day is extremely disappointing. Still can't believe it.
