Anthony Gose - OF - Blue Jays

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Monday that Anthony Gose will not be an everyday player.

The talented 22-year-old outfielder was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday morning but isn't likely to hold much value in standard mixed fantasy leagues. Gibbons said Gose will "help out on defense" and as a pinch-runner. He won't make very many starts.

Anthony Gose - OF - Blue Jays

Blue Jays recalled OF Anthony Gose from Triple-A Buffalo.

Gose batted .223/.303/.319 in 189 plate appearances last season with Toronto. The 22-year-old has good speed and some raw power, but he is not a polished enough hitter at this point to make a big impact in the majors. He can be ignored in most mixed formats.

Mickey Storey - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays optioned RHP Mickey Storey to Triple-A Buffalo.

Storey allowed three earned runs in 3 2/3 innings during his 10-day stint with Toronto. He'll be back eventually.
May 20 - 9:27 AM
Sergio Santos - R - Blue Jays

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.

Thad Weber - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays claimed RHP Thad Weber off waivers from the Padres, optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo.

Alex Anthopoulos is at it again. Weber was designated for assignment by the Padres on Friday, but it didn't take him long to find a new home. He'll represent depth in the minors.
May 19 - 2:34 PM
Maicer Izturis - 2B - Blue Jays

Maicer Izturis went 1-for-4 with a single in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.

Izturis isn't walking or making contact this season, and you already know his swing is punchless. Toronto was hoping for more than a .218/.242/.331 slash line when they signed Izturis from the Angels over the winter to a three-year, $9 million deal and the Jays recently sat him in three of four games.
May 19 - 4:47 AM
Brandon Morrow - S - Blue Jays

Brandon Morrow yielded five runs in five innings Saturday in a loss to the Yankees.

Recently sidelined due to back and neck tightness, this was his first start since May 5. Morrow gave up seven hits, including a pair of two-run home runs to Robinson Cano. He struck out two and walked none in the loss and now owns a 5.16 ERA through eight starts this season. He'll hope for better results next week against the Orioles.
May 18 - 3:51 PM
John Stilson - S - Blue Jays

Blue Jays promoted prospect right-hander John Stilson to Triple-A Buffalo.

The Blue Jays are currently using Ramon Ortiz in their starting rotation, so it's possible that Stilson could eventually become an option if he can prove he's healthy. The 22-year-old spent the first month of the season on the minor league DL, but earned the promotion by posting a 3.86 ERA in two appearances at Double-A New Hampshire. Given his history of shoulder injuries, Stilson may ultimately have to settle for a bullpen role.

Josh Johnson - S - Blue Jays

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.

Mark Buehrle - S - Blue Jays

Mark Buehrle was charged with five runs over six-plus innings Friday in a loss to the Yankees.

Buehrle was pulled after the first three batters reached to begin the seventh inning. Both inherited runners came around to score. He struck out four and walked three in the loss. The veteran southpaw has allowed five earned runs or more in four out of his last five starts and has an ugly 6.33 ERA for the year. We're not optimistic about him being much of an asset in fantasy leagues this year.
May 17 - 9:54 PM
Edwin Encarnacion - 1B - Blue Jays

Edwin Encarnacion went 2-for-4 with a double in Friday's loss to the Yankees.

Encarnacion now has three multi-hit games in his last four and has pulled his batting average up from .218 to .247 along the way. Fortunately, he has been a consistent source of power even during his struggles. He's currently tied for the AL lead with 11 home runs.
May 17 - 9:51 PM
Thad Weber - R - Blue Jays

Padres designated RHP Thad Weber for assignment.

The move clears a spot for Tim Stauffer on the 40-man roster. Weber made three appearances with the Padres earlier this season and owns a 3.93 ERA and 26/4 K/BB ratio in 34 1/3 innings over six starts in Triple-A. He could draw some interest on waivers.
May 17 - 5:46 PM
Rajai Davis - OF - Blue Jays

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 - S - Blue Jays

Josh Johnson (triceps) is on track to make a rehab start on Monday or Tuesday.

Good news. Johnson hasn't pitched since April 21 due to right triceps inflammation, but he hasn't had any issues during his throwing program. The Blue Jays have yet to announce where he'll pitch initially and it's unclear how many starts he'll need before he's activated. Still, he's making progress.

Dustin McGowan - S - 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.
