Josh Johnson will not get a qualifying offer from Toronto. So he'll be a free agent on Tuesday with no ties to draft pick compensation. The 29-year-old righty had a miserable year with the Blue Jays but should have multiple suitors this winter because of his past success. The qualifying offer would have been one year, $14.1 million.

CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that the Blue Jays are unlikely to make a qualifying offer to Josh Johnson. Johnson posted a 6.02 ERA over just 16 starts this season and ended the year on the DL with forearm trouble. He also had surgery last month to remove bone spurs from his pitching elbow. However, Johnson's agent, Matt Sosnick, said Friday his client is "100 percent healthy" and will begin his offseason throwing program in 10 days. He's always going to be a health risk, but Johnson won't have trouble getting someone to gamble on his upside.

Josh Johnson's agent, Matt Sosnick, told MLB Trade Rumors that his client underwent minor elbow surgery Tuesday morning to remove bone spurs. The surgery was performed by Dr. James Andrews. The good news is that no issues were found with his elbow ligament and he will resume throwing in five weeks, so he should have plenty of time to get ready for spring training. The 29-year-old posted an ugly 6.20 ERA over 16 starts this season and figures to look for a one-year deal in free agency this winter so that he can reestablish his value and test the open market again after 2014.

Josh Johnson (forearm) will not pitch again this season. It's hardly a big surprise at this point, as Dr. James Andrews recently shut him down from throwing for two weeks due to a right forearm strain. The good news is that he won't need surgery, but there simply won't be enough time for him to get back into game action. The 29-year-old will head into free agency with a disappointing 6.30 ERA over 16 starts. Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com speculates that the Blue Jays likely won't bother making him a qualifying offer.

Josh Johnson won't throw for two weeks after Dr. James Andrews confirmed the diagnosis of a right forearm strain. This matches the initial diagnosis from the team. While Johnson has avoided the worst-case scenario, it's very possible that he is done for the season.

Josh Johnson will be cleared to throw from a mound as soon as the discomfort in his right forearm goes away. That's assuming Dr. James Andrews concurs with the initial opinion that Johnson is dealing with a strained forearm and nothing related to the elbow. While the MRI results were encouraging, it's still possible Johnson won't return this season.

An MRI confirmed that Josh Johnson is dealing with a strained right forearm. The results have been sent to Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion. Johnson was placed on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday and could miss the rest of the season. Esmil Rogers has replaced him in the Blue Jays' starting rotation.

Josh Johnson will undergo an MRI on his ailing right forearm late Tuesday or Wednesday. Johnson believes his issue is muscular and not related to his elbow. That would certainly be good news, but with just seven weeks left in the season, he might have a tough time making it back even if he gets good news.

Blue Jays placed RHP Josh Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm injury. Johnson was scratched from his scheduled turn in the Blue Jays' starting rotation on Monday and reported no improvement in his throwing arm on Tuesday. It has been a disastrous season for the impending free agent.

Josh Johnson has been scratched from his start Monday due to right forearm soreness. Johnson will be pushed back, with J.A. Happ moving up one day to start in his place. The Blue Jays have also officially moved Esmil Rogers to the bullpen.
