Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Close to swinging bat
Share Video
Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Monday that Santander (shoulder) is "nearing" the start of a hitting progression, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Atkins also revealed that Santander suffered a subluxation -- which is a partial dislocation -- when he initially injured his left shoulder back in early May. Previously, the injury was identified merely as inflammation. The Blue Jays have been waiting until Santander is symptom-free before clearing him to ramp up his hitting, and that time could be coming soon. According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca, the Blue Jays aren't yet ruling Santander out from being activated from the injured list before the All-Star break, though a second-half return is probably more realistic at this time.
