Roberto Osuna will start the Major League Baseball season on the 10-day disabled list thanks to a cervical spasm, the Toronto Blue Jays announced Sunday. The 22-year old closer made just three spring training appearances for the Blue Jays after returning from a short stint at the World Baseball Classic with his native Mexico, and he did not appear to be throwing as hard as usual. Osuna’s stint on the disabled list will be backdated to April 1. Dominic Leone, 25, a right-handed reliever the Jays claimed off waivers last fall, will take Osuna’s place on the opening-day roster. Osuna is joined on the 10-day disabled listed by outfielder Dalton Pompey (concussion) and pitchers Bo Schultz (right elbow) and Glenn Sparkman (right thumb).
