Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) has served as the designated hitter in all four games of his Triple-A rehab stint with the Buffalo Bisons as he works back from a left shoulder injury. The 30-year-old has been on the injured list since May 30 but hopes to rejoin the Blue Jays before the end of the season. Santander has struggled in his first year with Toronto, slashing .179/.273/.304 after arriving from the Baltimore Orioles. There was speculation that he attempted to play through injury earlier in the year, so this extended break could provide a needed reset. A healthy Santander would give the Blue Jays a much-needed boost as they look to push deep into October.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander (back, shoulder) is starting his minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Buffalo after it was pushed back earlier this week, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Santander will serve as the DH for the first few games before playing both right and left field. It's unclear exactly when the 30-year-old might be able to finally rejoin the big-league roster, and it will depend on how he's progressing once he returns to defense in the outfield. After a big year in 2024 in which the Venezuelan switch-hitter popped a career-high 44 homers and drove in 102 runs for the Baltimore Orioles, he's been a massive bust in his first year in Toronto and has played in only 50 games due to a subluxation in his left shoulder that he suffered in May. He's dealt with back tightness recently, but he could be back soon to help Toronto's push toward the postseason.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder, back) was supposed to start a minor-league rehab assignment on Tuesday, but lower-back tightness prevented it from happening. The team will give Santander one or two days to recover before sending him to play his first rehab game, according to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. Although it's a minor setback, it continues a frustrating and injury-ravaged season for Santander. The 30-year-old has been on the IL with left-shoulder issues since May 30 and has played in just 50 games this season as a result. When healthy, the former Baltimore slugger has hit a subpar .179/.273/.304 with six homers, 18 RBI, and 14 runs scored over 209 trips to the plate.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) could begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet reports. Santander will play at least five rehab games before potentially making a long-awaited return to the Blue Jays in mid-September. The team signed the ex-Baltimore Oriole to a five-year, $92.5 million guarantee in free agency last winter, but a dislocated left shoulder has shelved him for most of the season. Santander has been on the injured list since May 30, and he got off to a brutal start in 50 games before going on the IL. The 30-year-old switch-hitter has batted .179/.273/.304 with six homers, 18 RBI, and 14 runs scored in 209 plate appearances.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) appears to be making solid progress in his recovery from a left shoulder subluxation. He has been running, taking batting practice and hitting off a machine. Santander is expected to travel with the team early next week. After that, Santander is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment. He has been sidelined since late May. If everything goes well, Santander should be able to return in mid-September. There probably won't be enough time left in the season for Santander to help fantasy managers.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) was with the big-league team on Monday and has progressed to hitting off high-velocity pitching machines, per Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling. Santander has been on the injured list since the end of May with left shoulder inflammation. 2025 has not gone as Santander or fantasy managers had planned, as the 30-year-old signed a five-year, $92.5 million contract this winter but slashed just .179/.273/.304 before getting hurt. He has been a consistent source of power over the past several seasons, so he could potentially provide a boost at the end of the season if he can return in time.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) has reportedly progressed to swinging from both sides of the plate. If everything goes well, Santander should work his way up to a hitting program and begin a rehab assignment. However, this progression is likely going to take weeks, so fantasy managers should be able to safely rule out Santander until the end of August. The switch-hitter has been out since late May due to a left shoulder injury. The hope is that Santander can offer some help with the bat down the stretch of the season. It seems unlikely that Santander is going to help fantasy managers at this point in the season.

The Toronto Blue Jays will continue to evaluate outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) "week-to-week" as he recovers from inflammation in his left shoulder, manager John Schneider told reporters. Santander has been on the injured list since May 30, and while he has made progress, he's still not ready to swing a bat. The Jays are holding out hope that Santander will play again this year, but there's no question his first season in Toronto has been a massive letdown. After signing a five-year, $92.5 million contract in free agency last offseason, the former Baltimore Oriole has produced a brutal .179/.273/.304 line with six home runs and 18 RBI in 50 games and 209 plate appearances.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) has been making much slower progress than expected, but there is progress being made, reports Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca. It's a tiny bit encouraging to hear some progress is being made, but based on prior reports, he is still at least one week away from even being cleared to swing a bat. The 30-year-old hasn't played since May 30 due to a left shoulder subluxation and has been stuck in this same spot in his rehab for over a month. It's looking more and more like a lost season for the slugger, who batted just .179 with six home runs in 50 games prior to his injury.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) is still a few weeks away from swinging the bat, according to manager John Schneider. Yikes, this is tough news with Santander having no timetable to return. He has been out since late May due to a left shoulder issue. He would likely need a few weeks to ramp up once he does start swinging the bat. It's hard to imagine Santander getting back on the field for the Jays within the next month. Possibly Santander is back in September, but that isn't going to give fantasy managers much incentive to keep rostering him.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander (shoulder) has yet to resume swinging a bat and is heading to Toronto this weekend to be evaluated by the team's medical staff, according to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling. It's bad news for a player that has been on the injured list since May 30 due to a left-shoulder subluxation. Santander has been one of the biggest free-agent busts in all of baseball in his first year in Toronto after making his first All-Star team in 2024 with a .235/.308/.506 slash line, a career-high 44 home runs and 102 RBI in 155 games with the Baltimore Orioles. He's hit just .179 (33-for-184) this year with six homers and 18 RBI in 50 games. Santander is eligible to return from the IL later this month, but we're pretty certain he won't be back until sometime in August.

According to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) still isn't hitting yet but will hopefully do so soon. Santander has been sidelined on the IL since May 30 with a shoulder subluxation and still hasn't taken swings, although it appears he'll do so soon. The Venezuelan native's first stint with the Blue Jays hasn't begun the way he'd imagined after a career-year in 2024 -- slashing a woeful .179/.273/.304 through 50 appearances. Maybe his inevitable minor-league rehab assignment will be enough to break him out of his funk. The switch-hitting right-fielder won't be eligible to return until the end of the month (Jul. 30).

The Toronto Blue Jays transferred outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list on Friday, according to Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith. Right-handed pitching prospect Lazaro Estrada was also called up, with left-hander Justin Bruihl being sent down in a corresponding move. Santander is dealing with a subluxation of his left shoulder and now will not be eligible to return to the team until July 30. He's been on the IL since May 30 but is getting close to swinging a bat. The 30-year-old Venezuelan switch-hitter has been one of the most disappointing players in real life and fantasy in 2025, as he's hit just .179 (33-for-184) with six home runs and 18 RBI in 50 games in his first year in Toronto after hitting a career-high 44 homers and driving in 102 last year in Baltimore. Davis Schneider has seen an increase in playing time in the outfield for the Jays with Santander sidelined.

Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said that outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander (shoulder) is getting close to starting a hitting progression. Atkins also said that Santander suffered a left-shoulder subluxation (partial separation) when he crashed into the outfield wall in early May in a game against the Los Angeles Angels. After being a first-time All-Star in 2024 in his final year with the Baltimore Orioles, Santander has been a big free-agent bust so far in 2025 in Toronto, slashing .179/.273/.304 with a .577 OPS, only six home runs, 18 RBI and 55 strikeouts in 209 plate appearances before his shoulder injury. It's good news that the 30-year-old Venezuelan is close to resuming baseball activities, but he won't be back until after the All-Star break as he looks to turn around his awful first half with the Jays.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) has not been cleared to swing the bat yet, according to the team's manager John Schneider. Santander has been throwing the baseball, but hasn't progressed to hitting yet. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since late May due to left shoulder inflammation. He did receive a PRP injection in June, but it hasn't helped him too much. Once Santander has begun hitting, he'll likely need to go on a minor league rehab assignment. There is currently no timetable for his return to the field. He was struggling before the injury, so fantasy managers might need to make a decision soon.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander (shoulder) received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his injured left shoulder and will take five to seven days off before throwing and ramping up, according to The Athletic's Mitch Bannon. Santander is currently on the 10-day injured list and probably won't be able to return when he's eligible if he's shut down for around a week. However, barring a setback when he resumes baseball activities, it's possible he could be back in Toronto before the end of June, even if he goes on a minor-league rehab assignment. Considering all the money the Jays gave the 30-year-old switch-hitter in free agency, they probably won't be rushing him back before he's ready. With Daulton Varsho also on the IL, Addison Barger, Nathan Lukes and Myles Straw should see more playing time in the outfield for Toronto.

The Toronto Blue Jays placed outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list on Friday and recalled outfielder Alan Roden from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move, according to the team. With Santander out, Myles Straw and Nathan Lukes are starting in the corner-outfield spots for Toronto for Friday's contest against the visiting Athletics. Santander has been a huge free-agent and fantasy bust so far in his first year in Toronto, hitting just .179/.273/.304 with a .577 OPS, six home runs, 18 RBI, 14 runs and 55 strikeouts in 209 plate appearances after a career year in 2024 in Baltimore in which he had a career-high 44 long balls and 102 RBI. The 30-year-old went hitless in 17 at-bats with seven strikeouts in five games before landing on the IL. In addition to a shoulder injury, he's also been battling a hip ailment. Straw, Lukes and Roden could all split playing time in Santander's absence.

Per manager John Schneider, Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander (hip) is expected to rejoin the team on Saturday for their road meeting with the Tampa Bay Rays. Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reported the news. Schneider also noted that he "liked Clase's ability to make contact in the 7th," when asked if Santander was an option off the bench on Friday, insinuating he may have been available if Schneider felt it was the right move. It's good news for the 30-year-old, who's dealt with an ailing hip for the last week or so. Still, though, he has some work to do to recover from his dreadful start to the year (.188/.270/.327). Hopefully, he's completely past his hip issue. He'll face off against right-handed hurler Shane Baz if all goes according to plan.

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander (hip) remains out of action for Friday's contest against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays. Santander will miss a second straight game on Friday due to a left-hip injury that he's been dealing with now for the last week. Although the 30-year-old's injury doesn't seem all that serious, we can't rule out an injured-list stint if it continues to bother him and keep him off the field the rest of the weekend. In addition to his hip injury, Santander hasn't lived up to his big free-agent deal and is slashing just .188/.266/.327 with a .594 OPS, six home runs, 18 RBI and 13 runs scored in his first 43 games for the Jays. George Springer is the DH and is batting cleanup on Friday against Rays right-hander Drew Rasmussen. Jonatan Clase is in left field and hitting eighth, while Nathan Lukes is in right field and batting ninth.

Toronto Blue Jay outfielder/designated hitter Anthony Santander (hip) is absent from the lineup for Thursday's series finale against the visiting San Diego Padres at Rogers Centre as Toronto goes for the three-game sweep. Santander was pulled early from Wednesday's 14-0 blowout win over SD after aggravating a left-hip injury, so it's not a huge surprise the 30-year-old isn't playing a day later in a matinee game. It's unclear if the injury is serious enough to land him on the injured list, but perhaps Toronto will view it as a chance to get the struggling slugger an extended mental break after a tough start to his first year in Canada. Santander is hitting just .188/.266/.327 with six homers, 18 RBI and 13 runs scored. Outfielder Daulton Varsho is the DH and is in the three-hole, while Myles Straw patrols center field and hits eighth on Thursday against Padres right-hander Stephen Kolek.
