Cease<\/a> allowed one run on one hit and one walk over 1.2 innings during the Blue Jays<\/a>‘ split-squad game against the Phillies on Saturday. He struck out three.<\/p>\n

Making his Grapefruit League debut for Toronto, Cease’s first pitch of the day popped at 98.3 mph, and he topped out at 98.9 mph with his four-seamer. The right-hander did serve up a second-inning solo shot to Bryan De La Cruz, but otherwise it was a strong first outing in a Jays uniform as he tossed 19 of 33 pitches for strikes. Cease will slot in at the top of the rotation after the 30-year-old right-hander signed a seven-year, $210 million deal over the winter. He’s topped 200 strikeouts in five straight seasons, posting a 3.72 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 11.3 K\/9 during that stretch while averaging about 32 starts and 177 innings a year.<\/p>\n
