Just when it looked like Gustavo Chacin was out of the woods, new troubles surfaced for the Blue Jays left-hander.

Making his second start since missing more than two months with elbow problems, Chacin was forced to leave last night's game in the sixth inning against Cleveland with an cramped index finger in his left hand.

Chacin had one out and a 1-2 count on Victor Martinez when he stepped off the mound and was seen flexing his left hand. That brought out trainer George Poulis and manager John Gibbons, and it didn't take long for the Jays manager to signal for a reliever, ending Chacin's night.

"It just cramped up, I don't think it's any more than that," Gibbons said. "The doctor checked it out and he should be okay for his next start."
