Cody Ponce’s debut with the Toronto Blue Jays and first MLB start in five years ended abruptly due to a leg injury sustained while fielding a ground ball in the third inning against the Rockies. The 31-year-old was carted off the field after appearing to buckle his right leg, showing visible emotion as he waved to the crowd. Ponce had pitched two scoreless innings before the injury, and his return to the mound remains uncertain. He previously struggled in 2021 and had spent time playing in Japan and Korea before rejoining MLB.
