Munenori Kawasaki's seventh-inning sacrifice fly plated the Blue Jays' lone run in Saturday's loss to the Mariners.
Kawasaki has been playing on a near-daily basis since Jose Reyes was placed on the DL and has struggled to hold his own, hitting .216/.306/.275 with no homers, four RBI and three stolen bases. His potential for steals makes him a somewhat appealing option as a middle infielder in deeper fantasy leagues, but owners can expect to be disappointed with the other aspects of his game.
May 4 - 5:04 PM
Blue Jays purchased the contract of INF Munenori Kawasaki from Triple-A Buffalo.
Kawasaki will replace Jose Reyes (ankle) on the active roster, but is strictly being promoted as depth. The 31-year-old posted an abysmal .192/.257/.202 batting line over 61 games with the Mariners last season.
Apr 13 - 2:45 PM
FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports the Blue Jays will call up infielder Munenori Kawasaki to take the place of Jose Reyes (ankle) on the active roster.
The Blue Jays are expected to use a combination of Maicer Izturis and Emilio Bonifacio to replace Reyes, so Kawasaki will serve as middle infield depth in the short-term. Rosenthal also expects the Blue Jays to have interest in trading for Josh Wilson or the recently DFA'd Cody Ransom.

According to Bob Elliott of the Toronto Sun, the Blue Jays are showing interest in free agent infielder Munenori Kawasaki.
The 31-year-old posted an abysmal .192/.257/.202 line over 61 games with the Mariners in his first taste of MLB action in 2012. If there is mutual interest, Kawasaki could compete for a reserve infielder role with the Jays.

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.

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.

Josh Johnson (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with High-A Dunedin.
Johnson has been on the DL since April 29, but he hasn't had any issues during his throwing program. He'll likely need 2-3 games before he's cleared to rejoin the Blue Jays' rotation. Johnson is on track for a return in the early part of June.

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.

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

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."

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.
