Santander Begins Rehab Assignment After Shoulder Surgery
Blue Jays DH/corner outfielder Anthony Santander will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, marking his return from left shoulder surgery performed in February.
Santander underwent left shoulder surgery in February with a projected 5-6 month recovery timeline, which has now extended to over seven months. His recovery was briefly interrupted by shoulder soreness requiring a cortisone shot, but he is now back on track. He will need at least a week of minor league games to ramp up before potentially returning to Toronto's lineup. The Blue Jays plan to use him primarily as a corner outfielder rather than DH.
