2012: Minor League Contract

Latest News

Omar Vizquel went 0-for-1 in pinch-hitting duty in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.
Coming off a season when he hit .252 in 167 at-bats, Vizquel has found difficulty at the plate with only two hits in 16 at-bats (.125). With playing time scarce, the 45-year-old remains valuable purely for his defense and leadership.
May 9 - 6:22 AM
Omar Vizquel drew his second start of the season against the Orioles on Thursday, but failed to get any closer to 3000 hits, finishing the night 0-for-3.
Vizquel still stands 158 hits away from the milestone, though he's probably a long shot to hit the mark. He's struggled with the bat in the early going of the season, hitting just .091 (1-for-11). However, he's still valued for his veteran leadership and contributions on defense.
Apr 26 - 10:15 PM
Blue Jays purchased the contract of INF Omar Vizquel from Triple-A Las Vegas.
Vizquel entered camp as the favorite for a utility infielder job and sealed the deal by batting .395 (15-for-38) with two doubles, one home run and five RBI this spring. The 11-time Gold Glove award winner is entering his 24th season in the big leagues and will turn 45 later this month.
Apr 4 - 11:07 PM
Omar Vizquel has earned a spot on the Blue Jays' 25-man roster.
He was already the favorite for the utility infielder job, but it's all but official now that Mike McCoy has been optioned to the minors. Vizquel, who turns 45 in April, batted .251/.287/.305 in 182 plate appearances with the White Sox last season and should be a useful part-time player and mentor in Toronto this season.

Kelly Johnson was lifted in the ninth inning of Tuesday's game after complaining of hamstring tightness.
Johnson is hoping to play Friday after Thursday's scheduled team off day. The 30-year-old second baseman is hitting .250/.352/.411 with eight home runs and 23 RBI in 43 games played this season.

Ben Francisco left Sunday's game with a tight left hamstring.
The Blue Jays are calling it precautionary, though it's worth noting that Francisco had problems with the same hamstring at the end of spring training. Consider him day-to-day.

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) has begun playing light catch.
McGowan was originally expected to begin a throwing program a couple days from now, so he's currently ahead of schedule. There's no clear timetable for his return, though.

Sergio Santos
D.L.
Sergio Santos (shoulder) is currently throwing at a distance of 115-120 feet.
Santos hopes to be long-tossing by the end of the week, after which he'll likely begin throwing from a mound. It was previously estimated that he could be back by the end of the month, but now early-to-mid June looks more realistic. Casey Janssen will continue to handle save chances.

Jesse Litsch
D.L.
Jesse Litsch said precautionary tests have confirmed that the infection in his shoulder is gone.
Good news. Litsch required emergency arthroscopic surgery in early March after developing an infection following an injection of platelet-rich plasma in his right shoulder. The infection somehow got worse from there, which led to the 27-year-old right-hander saying that he may never play again, but he appears to finally be making some progress.

Alan Farina
D.L.
Blue Jays placed RHP Alan Farina on the 60-day disabled list.
He was cleared to make room for the newly-signed Rick VandenHurk on the 40-man roster. Farina underwent Tommy John surgery last July and is unlikely to pitch in a game until later this summer. The 25-year-old could be a useful bullpen piece in the long term.
