Blue Jays infield prospect Justin Jackson will transition to the role of starting pitcher this season.

Still just 24 years old, the former first-round pick hit a meager .230/.320/.315 over six minor league seasons as a shortstop. He's said to have a plus arm, but the right-hander is incredibly raw and unlikely to make an impact at the major league level in the near future. Jan 5 - 10:32 PM

Justin Jackson - SS - Blue Jays

Justin Jackson went 0-for-4 with three more strikeouts Friday for Single-A Dunedin.

Jackson is still regarded as one of the Jays' top prospects even though he hit .238/.340/.368 in low-A ball last season. However, he's really putting his ranking to the test this year. He's hitting .147 with just one extra-base hit and 36 strikeouts in 75 at-bats for Dunedin. Since he's just 20 and he projects as a quality defensive shortstop, he can afford a poor year with the bat. However, the rate at which he's striking out right now is completely unacceptable.

Justin Jackson - SS - Blue Jays

Low Single-A Lansing's Justin Jackson went 4-for-5 with a triple and a double on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old Jackson is batting .311/.446/.511 with five steals in six tries. This after the 2007 supplemental first-round hit just .187 in Rookie ball last year. A toolsy shortstop, he went into the season as one of the Jays' most intriguing prospects anyway.

1B	1	Adam Lind
2B	1	Maicer Izturis
	2	Emilio Bonifacio
SS	1	Jose Reyes D.L. Jose Reyes (ankle) was cleared to begin running for the first time on Friday. Reyes had been shut down since being placed on the DL, so it's a major step in his recovery. Assuming his rehab process continues to go as expected, Reyes could resume full baseball activities next week. The Blue Jays are hoping he can return sometime around midseason. May 25

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

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. Blue Jays transferred LHP J.A. Happ from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Happ was hoping to make it back by mid-June, but he now won't be eligible to return until early July. The left-hander is coming back from a small fracture behind his left ear as well as a sprained right knee. May 24
	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	Chad Jenkins
	8	Sean Nolin
	9	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
	3	Darren Oliver D.L. Blue Jays placed LHP Darren Oliver on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19 with a left shoulder strain. Oliver has been dealing with the ailment for 7-10 and hadn't appeared in a game in nearly a week. He shouldn't be out long, but the Jays have decided to play things safe. Toronto still has two lefties in the bullpen in Aaron Loup and Brett Cecil. May 24
	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
