TORONTO -- Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay will not pitch again this season after breaking his leg last month.
"It's frustrating. We tried to do everything we could to come back," Halladay said Friday. "This is something that needs to run its own course."
Halladay was struck in the left shin by a line drive off the bat of Texas' Kevin Mench on July 8.
The 2003 AL Cy Young Award winner pushed himself to come back in less than a month, twice trying to make starts but canceling them when he was unable to run or take fielding practice.
Halladay (12-4, 2.41 ERA) was expected to be the AL's starter in the All-Star Game before he was injured.
"It's a big blow," catcher Gregg Zaun said. "It makes it a little tougher to make a serious run at things."
