Munenori Kawasaki's seventh-inning sacrifice fly plated the Blue Jays' lone run in Saturday's loss to the Mariners.

Kawasaki has been playing on a near-daily basis since Jose Reyes was placed on the DL and has struggled to hold his own, hitting .216/.306/.275 with no homers, four RBI and three stolen bases. His potential for steals makes him a somewhat appealing option as a middle infielder in deeper fantasy leagues, but owners can expect to be disappointed with the other aspects of his game.

	2	Emilio Bonifacio
SS	1	Jose Reyes D.L. Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said it "would not surprise me" if Jose Reyes returned in late June. Reyes had the walking boot on his left foot removed Tuesday and is evidently recovering a bit ahead of schedule, as he had been expected to sit out until around the All-Star break. The shortstop is still in the early stages of his recovery, though. A lot can happen over the next six weeks. May 14
	2	Munenori Kawasaki
3B	1	Brett Lawrie
	2	Mark DeRosa
LF	1	Melky Cabrera
	2	Rajai Davis D.L. Rajai Davis (oblique) has been sent to Florida to start his rehab. Davis hasn't played since May 10 due to a strained oblique. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons doesn't expect it to be a long-term injury, so it's possible he could return later this month. May 17
CF	1	Colby Rasmus
RF	1	Jose Bautista
	2	Anthony Gose
DH	1	Edwin Encarnacion
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	R.A. Dickey
	2	Josh Johnson D.L. Josh Johnson (triceps) will make at least two more rehab starts. Johnson struck out five over three innings of one-run ball on Monday with High-A Dunedin. He's feeling good physically, but the right-hander obviously needs to build up his stamina. He'll rejoin the rotation in early June if he can avoid a setback. May 21
	3	Brandon Morrow
	4	Mark Buehrle
	5	J.A. Happ D.L. J.A. Happ (head, knee) is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks. Happ will avoid throwing for a week before beginning to toss on flat ground. The Blue Jays are optimistic that the left-hander will be sidelined closer to four weeks. All things considered, that's about as good as Happ and the club could have hoped for. May 9
	6	Dustin McGowan D.L. Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. McGowan allowed one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings with High-A Dunedin and notched four strikeouts. The Blue Jays can't count on him given his lengthy injury history, but he could be an option to join the bullpen later this month if all goes well. May 17
	7	Drew Hutchison D.L. Drew Hutchison (elbow) is on track to face live hitters in about three weeks. Hutchison is currently making his way back from Tommy John surgery last August. While the 22-year-old right-hander is unlikely to see any game action until late in the season, he feels good about his progress. "You always want to do more but you know you have to follow the process and do what they tell you to do because that’s what’s in your best interest," said Hutchison. "I feel good, which is good, but you also realize that it’s the process and you need to follow the process." May 8
	8	Kyle Drabek D.L. Kyle Drabek (elbow) expects to throw live batting practice in the next week or two. Drabek threw a bullpen session Monday in extended spring training. He's coming back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, so the Blue Jays figure to take things slow, but he could be looking at a return around midseason if all goes well. May 8
	9	Chad Jenkins
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Casey Janssen
	2	Sergio Santos D.L. Blue Jays transferred RHP Sergio Santos from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Thad Weber. Santos will be out until after the All-Star break following surgery to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow. May 19
	3	Darren Oliver
	4	Steve Delabar
	5	Esmil Rogers
	6	Aaron Loup
	7	Brett Cecil
	8	Brad Lincoln
	9	Ramon Ortiz
	10	Luis Perez D.L. Luis Perez (elbow) is expected to appear in an extended spring training game later this week. Perez has been throwing bullpen sessions, but this will be his first appearance in a game. He's expected to return from Tommy John surgery around midseason. May 6
