Blue Jays' Zach Pop: To face hitters Saturday
Pop (hamstring) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The workout will be a significant step forward for Pop, who has been on the shelf since May 5 because of a right hamstring strain. He could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment sometime next week if all goes smoothly, and he might be an option again for the Blue Jays' bullpen in early June.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Throws bullpen session
Pop (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Pop has been on the shelf for the last two weeks with a strained right hamstring but would appear close to heading out on a rehab assignment. The reliever posted a 6.59 ERA over 15 appearances before getting hurt.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Continuing throwing program
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Pop (hamstring) is continuing to move through his throwing program, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
According to MLB.com, Pop was cleared to resume playing catch last Tuesday, just five days after suffering the right hamstring strain that forced him to the 15-day injured list. While it's unclear whether Pop has reached the point in his throwing program where he's facing hitters, the 26-year-old right-hander doesn't look as though he's in danger of being sidelined much longer than the minimum 15 days. He may require a brief rehab assignment prior to being activated, however.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Placed on injured list
Pop was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a right hamstring strain.
Pop had to be helped off the field Thursday after injuring his hamstring. The 26-year-old reliever has struggled this season to the tune of a 6.59 ERA and will now be out for at least two weeks. Jay Jackson was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to fill Pop's spot on the roster.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Exited with hamstring issue
Pop exited Thursday's game against the Red Sox with right hamstring discomfort, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
The Blue Jays said they will give Pop the night to rest and reevaluate him tomorrow. However, the injury appears to be a longer-term issue that will ultimately force him to the injured list. Pop has struggled early on this season, posting a 6.59 ERA across 13.2 innings.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Suffers apparent leg injury
Pop was helped off the field by a trainer after suffering what appeared to be a right leg injury Thursday against the Red Sox, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Pop struck out Jarren Duran in the eighth inning, but he started to limp after the final pitch of the at-bat and had to be removed from the game. It's unclear if a stint on the injured list will be required.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Expected to win bullpen spot
Pop appears set to open the season in the big-league bullpen with Mitch White battling elbow soreness, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
White was expected to begin the season as a long reliever if he lost out on the fifth starter role to Yusei Kikuchi, but instead he now appears headed for the injured list. Pop pitched well this spring, posting a 9:1 K:BB through six innings, and he'll likely be used in middle relief in the majors.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Likely headed for Triple-A
Pop has minor-league options remaining and is expected to begin the season with Triple-A Buffalo, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
The 26-year-old right-hander is a big-league quality arm and posted a 2.77 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 39 innings last season between the Marlins and Blue Jays, but he'll be a victim of the numbers game coming out of camp. Look for Pop to be one of the first pitchers promoted when injuries or heavy usage necessitate reinforcements for the Toronto bullpen.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Back in big leagues
Pop was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.
Pop served as the 29th man for Monday's doubleheader against the Orioles, and he'll rejoin the major-league bullpen a few days later after Mitch White was sent down. Over 26 relief appearances between the Marlins and Blue Jays this year, Pop has posted a 3.25 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 27.2 innings.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Returns to Triple-A
The Blue Jays returned Pop to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.
As expected, Pop will rejoin the Triple-A club after he served as the Blue Jays' 29th man for Monday's doubleheader with the Orioles. He appeared out of the bullpen in Toronto's 7-3 win in Game 1, striking out one over a scoreless inning.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Joins bullpen for twin bill
The Blue Jays recalled Pop from Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Monday's doubleheader with the Orioles.
Pop should be available out of the bullpen for either game of the twin bill, but since he's being designated as the Blue Jays' 29th man, he'll be returned to Triple-A immediately after Monday's contests. After being acquired from the Marlins on Aug. 2, Pop gave up two earned runs while striking out just one batter over 6.2 innings in his seven appearances with Toronto before he was optioned to Triple-A on Aug. 23.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Heading to Buffalo
The Blue Jays optioned Pop to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Pop vacates the MLB roster now that Tim Mayza (shoulder) is back from the injured list. Despite allowing an earned run in his last two appearances, Pop has a 2.70 ERA in 6.2 innings with Toronto and figures to make another big-league appearance before the season ends.

Blue Jays' Zach Pop: Heading to Toronto
The Blue Jays acquired Pop and Anthony Bass from the Marlins in exchange for minor-league infielder Jordan Groshans on Tuesday, Craig Mish of SportsGrid.com reports.
Pop has a 3.60 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB in 20 innings of relief this season for the Marlins. Four of the eight earned runs he's yielded came in one appearance July 25, so he's been effective for the most part. Saves will be hard to come by as long as Jordan Romano is healthy and pitching well, but Pop should see ample opportunities for holds while working in the middle innings going forward.

Marlins' Zach Pop: Collects win Thursday
Pop (2-0) picked up the win in Thursday's victory over the Reds, striking out one over a perfect eighth inning.
The right-hander left Monday's appearance with an undisclosed injury, but it was apparently nothing serious as Pop was back on the mound three days later in a key spot. Both his wins on the season have come since July 13, and aside from Monday's game (four runs in 0.2 innings before exiting), Pop has given up only one earned run since being called back up from Triple-A Jacksonville in late June. Even with that rough outing included, the 25-year-old sports a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB through his last 15 innings. If the Marlins trade some veteran relievers before the deadline, Pop could find himself seeing consistent late-inning action over the final two months of the season.

Marlins' Zach Pop: Recalled by Miami
Pop was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
The 25-year-old was sent to the minors in early June but will rejoin the Marlins' bullpen after Louis Head (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Pop allowed three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four in three innings over his first two major-league appearances of the season.

Marlins' Zach Pop: Back in minors
Miami optioned Pop to Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday.
Pop was returned to the minors one day after he was called up to serve as the Marlins' 27th man in the team's doubleheader with the Rockies. He appeared in relief during the Marlins' 14-1 win in Game 1, working two innings and striking out three while giving up an earned run on two hits.

Marlins' Zach Pop: Recalled as 27th man
Pop was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to serve as the 27th man in Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rockies, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Pop was sent to the minors in early May, and he posted a 4.70 ERA and 1.70 WHIP in 7.2 innings over seven relief appearances in Jacksonville since then. The right-hander will provide additional bullpen depth during Wednesday's twin bill before likely heading back to the minors.

Marlins' Zach Pop: Moves to minors
The Marlins optioned Pop to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Pop was sent down to the minors and Shawn Armstrong was designated for assignment as the Marlins reduced their active roster from 28 to 26 players ahead of Monday's deadline. The right-hander's demotion comes just one day after he made his 2022 debut for the big club, as Pop gave up two earned runs on three hits in an inning of relief in Sunday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.
