After spending nearly 10 years as the team physician for the Toronto Blue Jays, Dr. David Lawrence is heading across the street to join the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The Toronto Sun and our friends at the Hockey News had information on the move. The Maple Leafs have undergone a complete organizational restructuring this offseason, and that included Dr. Noah Forman getting let go this week after approximately 20 years with the organization. 

The Leafs, who struggled on the ice last season, also struggled to stay healthy. They've apparently tried to change up every aspect of the organization in an effort to get back into Eastern Conference playoff contention.

At this time, it's not completely clear if Lawrence is actually leaving the Blue Jays for the Leafs, or if he is just adding things to his plate.

As a result, it's hard to know exactly what this might mean for the Jays, and it's always hard to tell when you're talking about the impact of an off-field staffer.

What we do know is that Lawrence has been there several years, so he has relationships with the players and their families. In addition to serving as the team physician, he is also the physician for the players families, so that kind of trust is hard to replace. At this time we're not sure exactly what the situation is moving forward. Obviously, keeping the medical staff continuity would be desirable. 

Just like like Dr. Forman didn't cause the Maple Leafs issues, Dr. Lawrence hasn't caused the Jays, but the list of injuries has been extensive.

--Anthony Santander hasn't played all season because of a torn labrum that was operated on in the offseason.

--Bowden Francis and Jose Berrios are out for the entire season because of arm surgeries.

--Addison Barger has missed all but nine games because of multiple injuries, including a season-ending elbow surgery.

--Alejandro Kirk, George Springer, Trey Yesavage, Jameson Taillon, Dylan Cease, Shane Bieber and Daulton Varsho also spent time on the injured list. Yesavage and Bieber are currently there, as is Taillon. Varsho was traded away at the trade deadline to the Houston Astros.

The Blue Jays will kick off a massive three-game series with the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday night in Cleveland with first pitch coming at 6:40 p.m. ET. We know that Dylan Cease will pitch on Wednesday and Jose Soriano will pitch on Thursday, but we've learned the official plan for Tuesday's Game 1 now.

The Jays are now 1.5 games back of Cleveland in the American League wild card race.
