The Toronto Blue Jays appear to be giving up on one of their veteran pitchers, announcing that they're designating a reliever for assignment.

The Toronto Blue Jays are in mourning following the news of the death of Ron Taylor, the team's long-time doctor, at the age of 87. In a post on Instagram, the Blue Jays shared a message to pay their respect to Taylor, who was also with them when Toronto won consecutive World Series titles in the early 1990s.
