Carlos Villanueva (hand) is scheduled to throw a simulated game Wednesday in Blue Jays camp.
Villanueva tossed a bullpen session Sunday and felt no ill effects when he woke up Monday morning. The 28-year-old should appear in a spring game next week.

Gregor Chisholm on Twitter
Carlos Villanueva (hand) described his bullpen session Friday as "a very good day," and said he is on track to return to game action as soon as next week.
Villanueva was diagnosed with a minor circulatory problem and placed on a medication in February, but the Blue Jays don't appear to be concerned with his status for spring training. The 28-year-old posted a 4.04 ERA and 68/32 K/BB ratio over 107 innings last season and will function as a long reliever in 2012.

Carlos Villanueva (hand) threw 15 pitches in a bullpen session Wednesday.
Villanueva said it was "as close to normal" as he's felt since waking up Saturday with a cold feeling in his throwing hand. The 28-year-old right-hander was diagnosed with a minor circulatory issue and was placed on a medication which functions as a blood thinner. He is scheduled to throw a full bullpen session Friday.

Carlos Villanueva (hand) played catch for the second straight day Tuesday without incident.
Villanueva woke up Saturday with a cold feeling in his throwing hand, but he appears to have made progress after being placed on medication which functions as a blood thinner. The 28-year-old posted a 4.04 ERA and 68/32 K/BB ratio over 107 innings last season and projects to open the season in Toronto's bullpen.

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.
