Cody Ponce's ACL Sprain: Blue Jays Await LA Eval

0:00Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Cody Ponce is dealing with a right ACL sprain, and the team is gearing up for clarity on his recovery. The 31-year-old Reidy got hurt in his first big league start since 2021, and now he's headed to Los Angeles for a check-up with Top Doc Neil Ella Trake to see if surgery's on the table. Earlier this week, Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed Ponce will miss a big chunk of time after tweaking his knee chasing a grounder. Ponce had signed a $30 million dollar, three-year deal in the offseason, and he was looking sharp early, racking up 15 misses on just, 29 swings against the Colorado Rockies. That injury hit just two-and-a-third innings into the series opener on Monday, forcing him off the field on a cart. Fans in the clubhouse felt the sting right away, since Ponce was bringing that heat and showing why the Jays invested big. Now the focus shifts to that Ella Val, where Ella Trakey, who's fixed up stars like Tom Brady, Kobe Bryant, Aaron Rogers, and Showhale Tani will help.

1:01Map out the path forward, no firm timeline yet, but this could shape the Jays' rotation for months. Whatever the doc decides, the Blue Jays are prepping to adapt, keeping their eyes on a strong second half push without Ponce for now.
