"Micah Bucknam was originally drafted by the Blue Jays in the 16th round of the 2021 draft, but elected to go to college. He took a gap-year before joining Louisiana State University in 2023, where he pitched just 16 innings out of the bullpen."
"After transferring to Dallas Baptist for the 2025 season, Bucknam rebuilt his draft stock, throwing 62.1 innings with a 4.62 ERA and 3.67 FIP, striking out 29.4% of batters faced."
"Bucknam's injury is unclear, but the pitcher injury bug has been quite prevalent in the organization, with four of the Blue Jays' eight starters currently on the injured list."
"Top prospect Ricky Tiedemann is among the minor leagues that started the 2026 season on the IL, joined by Ryan Jennings and Travis Kuhn on the 7-day injured list."
Micah Bucknam, a right-handed pitcher drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays, has been placed on the full-season injured list. Originally drafted in 2021, he took a gap year before attending Louisiana State University, where he had limited action. After transferring to Dallas Baptist, he improved his draft stock, leading to a fourth-round selection by the Blue Jays. Unfortunately, he will not make his professional debut until at least 2027 due to an unclear injury, amidst a trend of injuries affecting the organization.
