Cody Ponce carted off during Blue Jays debut with knee injury

Cody Ponce was carted off the field in the third inning of his Blue Jays debut at Rogers Centre. He appeared to injure his right knee and left the game on a medical cart. Ponce's exit removes a starter from Toronto's rotation and worsens the club's thin pitching depth. The loss matters because the Blue Jays have limited immediate options while other pitchers recover.
