J.A. Happ - S - Blue Jays

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.

Brandon Morrow - S - Blue Jays

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.

Brandon Morrow - S - Blue Jays

Brandon Morrow (forearm) allowed three runs in two innings Monday in his first rehab start with High-A Dunedin.

Morrow allowed five hits (including a two-run homer) while walking one and striking out none. While his forearm issues appear to be behind him, the Blue Jays will want to see better results before bringing him back from the disabled list. He will likely require two more rehab starts.

Jose Reyes - SS - Blue Jays

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.

Edwin Encarnacion - 1B - Blue Jays

Edwin Encarnacion went 0-for-2 with a walk Monday against the Rockies.

Despite a meager .265 average, E-5 has been dynamite for fantasy owners in 2013, ranking third in the American League in homers (18) and RBI (55) and ninth in runs (43). Encarnacion had a 10-game hitting streak snapped on July 15 and has gone hit-less in two of three games since.

Maicer Izturis - 2B - Blue Jays

Maicer Izturis singled in Rajai Davis and Colby Rasmus in the bottom of the eighth to lead the Blue Jays to a 2-0 win over the Rockies on Monday.

Izturis had two of the Jays' three hits on the night. He's finally come alive of late, going 10-for-29 over his last seven games. Previously, he was hitting just .202/.240/.288 in 163 at-bats.

Josh Johnson - S - Blue Jays

After having his start pushed back by a blister, Josh Johnson struck out 10 over 7 1/3 scoreless innings against the Rockies on Monday.

It was Johnson's seventh career 10-strikeout game, but the other six all came back in 2009 and 2010. His season high this year was eight. Johnson didn't hang on long enough to get a win tonight, as the Jays didn't score until the bottom of the eighth, but he'll certainly start winning some games if he keeps pitching like this. He has a 1.86 ERA in three starts since coming off the DL.
Jun 17 - 10:05 PM
J.A. Happ - S - Blue Jays

J.A. Happ (head) will throw another bullpen session on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Happ resumed throwing bullpen sessions last week. The southpaw landed on the DL last month after he was hit in the head by a line drive, but he's also dealing with a sprained right knee. Barring any setbacks, look for him to return around the All-Star break.

Brandon Morrow - S - Blue Jays

Brandon Morrow (forearm) will make his first minor league rehab start Monday with High-A Dunedin.

Morrow, out since May 28 with a right forearm strain, is slated to throw 45-50 pitches. Assuming all goes well Monday, he's expected to test himself against more advanced competition in his next rehab start before coming off the disabled list. That would set him up for a return before the end of the month.

Jose Reyes - SS - Blue Jays

Jose Reyes (ankle) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Monday with High-A Dunedin.

Reyes is slated to 4-5 innings in his first game back. He will finish his rehab stint against more advanced competition, but should return from the disabled list by the end of the month if he can avoid setbacks. The speedy shortstop has been sidelined since April 12 with a severely sprained left ankle.

Adam Lind - 1B - Blue Jays

Adam Lind went 3-for-4 with a home run in Sunday's win over the Rangers.

Lind singled in his first two at-bats before hitting a three-run shot off reliever Kyle McClellan in the seventh inning. The home run was his eighth of the season. Lind is now batting .346 (9-for-26) over his last seven games.
Jun 16 - 6:24 PM
Chien-Ming Wang - S - Blue Jays

Chien-Ming Wang threw seven scoreless innings Sunday in a win against the Rangers.

Wang has a 3.14 ERA in two starts since he opted out of his contract with the Yankees last week. He limited the Rangers' offense to just five hits and two walks and managed five strikeouts in his first major league win since 2012. Wang is scheduled to make his next start Saturday against the Orioles.
Jun 16 - 6:20 PM
J.A. Happ - S - Blue Jays

J.A. Happ (head) threw a bullpen session last week.

It's the first time he's thrown from a mound since he was injured in the scary incident in Tampa. Happ is still weeks away from a return, but he's obviously making some progress.

Adam Lind - 1B - Blue Jays

Adam Lind went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI as the Blue Jays defeated the Rangers 6-1 on Saturday.

The magical ride rolls on for Lind, who hit a two-run shot in the top of the first inning and a single in the top of the fourth. He now has a superb .343/.413/.543 batting line with seven home runs and 21 RBI in 54 games this season and needs to be starting in pretty much all standard fantasy leagues while the hotness lasts.
