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 - 4:39 PM

Dustin McGowan - S - 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.

Dustin McGowan - S - 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 - S - 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 - S - 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 - S - 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 - S - 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 - S - 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 - S - 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 - S - 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.

Mar 3 - 9:40 PM

Dustin McGowan - S - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan (shoulder) is expected to resuming throwing from a mound soon.

McGowan has been shut down after experiencing some shoulder soreness while throwing off flat ground earlier in camp, but he's made notable progress of late. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said the right-hander could be in the mix for a bullpen job.

Mar 3 - 9:38 AM

Dustin McGowan - S - Blue Jays

Dustin McGowan isn't alarmed after he experienced some shoulder soreness while throwing off flat ground on Tuesday.

"I don't think it's a big deal," said McGowan. "I came in a little sore from throwing, so that's the safe thing to do -- just let it get out of there and then continue to go on after that." The 30-year old is undoubtedly anxious to get back to action. McGowan didn't pitch at all in 2012 and has thrown more than 112 innings just once since 2005. There's no timetable for him to resume throwing.

Dustin McGowan - S - Blue Jays

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said that Dustin McGowan's "shoulder was barking" while he was playing catch on Tuesday.

Another bad break for McGowan, who missed the entire 2012 campaign and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder in August. It's not clear when he'll be ready to resume throwing, but given his injury history, we aren't counting on anything. The 30-year-old right-hander is owed $1.5 million in each of the next two seasons while his contract includes a $4 million club option for 2015 which can be bought out for $500,000.

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	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

	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

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
