Gavin Floyd: Released by Toronto
Gavin Floyd (shoulder) was released by the Blue Jays on Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports.Floyd, who attended spring training as a non-roster invitee, was unable to pitch in Grapefruit League play while experiencing lingering pain in his strained shoulder, an injury that ended his 2016 campaign prematurely.
