Blue Jays RHP Marcum leaves with injury

Sep 17, 2008 - 4:14 AM TORONTO (Ticker) -- Toronto Blue Jays righthander Shaun Marcum left in the third inning of Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles with an undisclosed injury.

Marcum walked Juan Castro to lead off the frame and surrendered a run-scoring double to Brian Roberts, which proved to be the game-winning run. Marcum then walked Nick Markakis and was taken out of the game by manager Cito Gaston.

"I don't have anything guaranteed for me next year," Marcum said. "I have to come in and pitch and show these guys I can be in the rotation next year."

The 26-year-old went on the 15-day disabled list on June 21 after suffering a right forearm strain. Marcum is 9-7 with a 3.39 ERA in 26 starts this season.
