Chatwood (triceps) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list shortly after being eligible Monday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old landed on the injured list April 9 with soreness in his right triceps, but he may not end up missing much more than the 10-day minimum. Chatwood delivered 2.2 scoreless innings over three appearances before landing on the shelf.

Chatwood (triceps) played catch Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is on the shelf with right triceps soreness and is without a timetable to return. The next steps would seemingly be bullpen sessions followed by live batting practice.

Chatwood was placed on the 10-day injured list due to right triceps soreness Friday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chatwood made three relief appearances to begin the season and allowed four hits and a walk while striking out three in 2.2 scoreless innings. However, he hadn't pitched since Monday and will now miss time due to a triceps issue. Manager Charlie Montoyo said Friday that he wasn't sure how much time Chatwood will miss, but he's optimistic that he'll be in line for a short-term absence. Joel Payamps and Ty Tice were recalled by the Blue Jays in corresponding moves.

Chatwood has posted a 2.35 ERA and 6:1 K:BB over 7.2 Grapefruit League innings.
EDGE Analysis
The right-hander has been a starting pitcher most of his career, but after coming over from the Cubs in the offseason, Chatwood has been converted to a full-time relief role by the Jays. With Kirby Yates (elbow) out of the picture, Chatwood could find himself seeing plenty of high-leverage work alongside Jordan Romano and Rafael Dolis.

Chatwood has been told to prepare for a high-leverage relief role this season, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chatwood has been a starter in 143 of his 197 big-league appearances to date, with the majority of his relief outings coming in 2019. His strikeout rate out of the bullpen sits at 19.3 percent for his career, nearly three points better than his 16.5 percent mark as a starter though still hardly a typical mark for a high-leverage arm. It's certainly possible his stuff plays up now that he's fully dedicated to the role, but he's unlikely to seriously challenge Kirby Yates for saves and will likely be behind Jordan Romano and Rafael Dolis should Yates struggle or get injured.

Chatwood (forearm) signed a contract with the Blue Jays on Monday, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chatwood will head to Toronto after spending the last three seasons with the Cubs. He finished with an ERA above five in two of his last three seasons with Chicago, starting 25 contests over that stretch. Chatwood is expected to be used out of the bullpen while in Toronto, per Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, but he can also be used as a starter if needed.

Chatwood (forearm) will throw off a mound Tuesday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chatwood faced a slight setback in the middle of September after his strained forearm didn't respond well to his throwing program. However, he threw a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to pitch off the mound once again Tuesday. It's still unknown whether the right-hander will be available for the Cubs during the postseason.

Chatwood (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chatwood has missed all of September with a strained right forearm. His arm had previously not been responding well after he began his throwing program, but the Cubs are seemingly still holding out hope that he could play a role in the postseason.

Chatwood's season is in jeopardy after his strained forearm didn't respond well to his throwing program, Russell Dorsey of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Chatwood was attempting to make it back before the end of the season from a forearm issue he suffered back in late August. His chances of doing so now appear to be quite small, though he hasn't officially been ruled out for the year.

Cubs manager David Ross said Chatwood (forearm) will begin a throwing program Monday, Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
One of two back-end rotation candidates on the injured list, Chatwood looks to be slightly ahead of Jose Quintana (lat) in his rehab program, as Quintana isn't expected to throw until Tuesday. The Cubs will likely have a starting spot available for only one of the two pitchers when both are ready to return, so Chatwood's rest-of-season fantasy outlook is still fairly murky. Prior to getting shut down with the right forearm strain, Chatwood supplied a 5.30 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 25:9 K:BB in 18.2 innings over his five starts.
