From Pat G:

Can you chat w/ exco on this one? Cecil got hurt during the ALDS and apparently hasn't been completely shut down, though I thought he was. I believe they have replaced him on the roster for the next series, but it looks like he's not a completely lost cause for the World Series.
Translated to September IBC rules, it seems he would remain active. Translated to April-August IBC rules, I guess I could make the case he would be DTD if they're playing (max) 7 games until the World Series. I understand both sides of the argument, but I'd just like to see what exco thinks. Our injury rules are kind of a fine line, so just wanted to see the thinking.

Thanks,

PG

Brett Cecil (calf) reiterated Wednesday that he is aiming to be ready for the World Series.
Cecil tore his left calf muscle during a rundown with Mike Napoli in Game 2 of the ALDS, but he was throwing in the outfield ahead of Game 5 on Wednesday in Toronto and the left-hander remains optimistic despite some pretty long odds. "I told the trainers in Texas, I’m going to pitch in the World Series," Cecil said Wednesday. "These guys are more than good enough to make it to that point, and I’m going to do everything I can to be ready for it."

Fwiw, I don't think he has an argument to stand on.

He's not playing in the ALCS. He got taken off the roster, so Toronto thinks he can't play, why should we think otherwise?

Out for LCS, willing to revisit if he comes back for WS but if Jays don't make it then out for good.

I agree with what Shawn said.
