Pitchers Hyun Jin Ryu and Mitch White were placed on Toronto’s injured list as the Blue Jays finalized their opening day roster.

White was also placed on the 15-day IL retroactive to March 27 with right elbow inflammation.

Toronto began its season on Thursday in St. Louis in the first of a three-game interleague series against the Cardinals.
