playing for the Chicago White Sox. Schoeneweis denied the report, and told the New York Daily News that he has never heard of Signature Pharmacy or received shipments from Florida. Toronto Blue Jays (2005–06) He was signed as a free agent by the Blue Jays on January 11, 2005, for $2.5 million, which was just under what he made the two previous seasons combined. During the 2005 season he slipped on a just-watered field in Oakland, and his fellow Toronto pitchers buckled over in laughter, not realizing that Schoeneweis had just sustained the worst injury of his career. He tore a tendon behind his left knee, near his hamstring, and the tendon remained torn as he pitched over the next two years. He ended his first season in Toronto with a 3–4 mark, and picked up his second career save. Schoeneweis's ERA improved to 3.32. He also saw action in a career-high 80 games (2nd in the American League). The lefty was also among the league leaders in holds, with 35. Left-handed hitters batted a meager .188 against him.

Schoeneweis later revealed that he pitched the 2007 season with a severed tendon in his left knee, affecting his push off the mound. In 2008, he pitched 73 times, with a 3.34 ERA. Lefties hit only .178 against him, with a .243 OBP and a .277 slugging percentage. He tied for seventh in the National League among left-handers, with 15 holds.
