Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will be activated from the disabled list on Saturday.

It's a nice accomplishment for the oft-injured right-hander, who has appeared in just five games in the majors since the 2008 season. He'll be used out of the bullpen in Toronto and won't hold any immediate fantasy value. Todd Redmond will be optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the disabled list soon.

McGowan pitched in back-to-back games earlier this week at Triple-A Buffalo, which was essentially the final hurdle he needed to clear to show the Jays he was ready. He holds a 5.73 ERA over 11 rehab innings but has struck out 16 batters. McGowan's rehab window ends on June 12, so he should be activated in the next few days.

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

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.

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A New Hampshire on Tuesday.

Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said McGowan, who has been throwing in extended spring training, is feeling "great." He should be an option to join the team's rotation later this month.

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) recorded five outs on Saturday in an extended spring training game.

McGowan faced six batters and allowed just one hit. The right-hander has been on the shelf since the end of spring training with discomfort in his neck and right shoulder. He should join Toronto sometime in late May.

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) is expected to begin appearing in minor league rehab games next week.

McGowan has been on the disabled list since the end of spring training with discomfort in his neck and right shoulder. The Blue Jays will likely ask him to make several appearances in the minor leagues. If he avoids setbacks, he should be back by the end of May.

May 7 - 4:23 PM

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays transferred RHP Dustin McGowan from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list

It's just a procedural move to create a spot on the 40-man roster. The Blue Jays claimed Edgar Gonzalez off waivers from the Astros in a corresponding move.

Apr 7 - 4:39 PM

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays placed RHP Dustin McGowan on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 27, with a sore right shoulder.

McGowan was recently cleared to make his Grapefruit League debut, but will pitch in extended spring training before he begins a rehab assignment. The Blue Jays don't expect him to be available until early May.

Mar 31 - 8:46 PM

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Making his spring debut, Dustin McGowan (shoulder) pitched a perfect inning out of the pen Tuesday against the Pirates.

It's nice to see McGowan back on the mound. He'll open the season on the disabled list and go down to Triple-A to rehab, but if he can stay healthy for a bit, the Jays might give him a look in early May.

Mar 26 - 4:37 PM

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Dustin McGowan (shoulder) was "lights-out" during an appearance in a minor league game Wednesday.

It was the right-hander's first game action this spring. McGowan is likely to open the season on the disabled list, but it sounds like he's trending in the right direction. Of course, with him another setback is likely right around the corner.

Mar 20 - 8:10 PM

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) is scheduled to pitch one inning in a minor league game Wednesday.

The Blue Jays haven't mapped out a schedule beyond that, but it's progress. McGowan fell behind the other pitchers in camp due to shoulder and neck discomfort and appears unlikely to be ready for the start of the regular season.

Mar 19 - 2:16 PM

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) is expected to open the season on the disabled list.

McGowan has been dealing with shoulder and neck injuries and won't pitch in his first spring game until next week. While the Blue Jays haven't officially ruled him out, he's doubtful to be ready for Opening Day. McGowan will be considered for a bullpen spot when he's ready to return.

Mar 17 - 6:01 PM

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) threw 20 pitches off a mound Tuesday at 80-90 percent intensity.

McGowan dealt with shoulder and neck discomfort early in camp, but he's starting to make some progress. Still, we wouldn't count on him being ready for Opening Day.

Mar 5 - 10:58 AM

Dustin McGowan - R - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will throw off a mound Tuesday for the first time in spring training.

McGowan has progressed ahead of schedule from shoulder and neck injuries that sidelined him earlier in camp. If he can stay healthy, the right-hander should be in the mix for a bullpen spot to open the season.

SS	1	Jose Reyes D.L. Jose Reyes (ankle) went 2-for-3 with two singles and two runs scored Monday in his first rehab games with High-A Dunedin. Reyes, who was playing his first game since his severe ankle sprain on April 12, also played five innings at shortstop. Barring any setbacks, the speedy shortstop could rejoin the suddenly red-hot Blue Jays within the next 10 days. Jun 18

3B	1	Brett Lawrie D.L. Brett Lawrie no longer has a walked boot on his left foot and has started throwing and riding a stationary bike. Lawrie still needs to gain strength in his ailing left ankle, and there remains no timetable for his return. Still, it's a sign of at least a bit of progress for the 23-year-old. He hurt the ankle on a slid back on May 27. Jun 14

	3	Brandon Morrow D.L. Brandon Morrow (forearm) suffered a physical setback Monday in his rehab start at High-A Dunedin. Morrow will have his forearm reexamined this week. He did not look sharp in the outing, allowing three runs in two innings, and can now be considered out indefinitely. Jun 18
	4	Mark Buehrle
	5	J.A. Happ D.L. J.A. Happ (head) threw a bullpen session Tuesday. Another step in the right direction for the left-handed starter, who suffered a sprained right knee when he collapsed on the mound after being in the head by a line drive last month. He should be ready to return to live major league games in early-to-mid July. Jun 18
	6	Kyle Drabek D.L. Kyle Drabek (elbow) is scheduled to pitch two innings of an intrasquad game early next week. Good news for Drabek, who underwent Tommy John surgery last June. The 25-year-old figures to require a lengthy rehab assignment, but he should make an impact with the big club at some point during the second half of the season. Jun 14
	7	Drew Hutchison D.L. Drew Hutchison (elbow) will throw a simulated game Tuesday. It's the next step in his rehab process from Tommy John surgery. Hutchison figures to throw a few simulated games before going out on a minor league rehab assignment, but he's getting closer. The 22-year-old is unlikely to be an option for the Jays until well into the second half. Jun 14
	8	Chien-Ming Wang
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Casey Janssen
	2	Sergio Santos D.L. Sergio Santos (elbow) threw long-toss Friday. Santos is currently making his way back from surgery last month to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow. He's expected to throw a side session next week, but he won't be an option for Toronto's bullpen until after the All-Star break. Jun 14

	5	Esmil Rogers

	9	Luis Perez D.L. Luis Perez has shut down his rehab due to lingering issues with his surgically-repaired elbow. Perez underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery last July. He might not pitch in the majors in 2013. Jun 18
	10	Neil Wagner
	11	Juan Perez
	12	Ramon Ortiz D.L. An MRI on Ramon Ortiz's right elbow did not reveal a tear. It's a surprise, given Ortiz's reaction after suffering the injury Sunday. He'll be re-evaluated after the swelling subsides, but it sounds like his career isn't over just yet. Jun 4
