  • Santander (shoulder) will not be returning to the Blue Jays this season, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Santander had been working his way back from left shoulder surgery, advancing to a rehab assignment earlier this month. However, he had a back issue crop up during his assignment, and the Blue Jays ultimately decided to have him get an early start on his offseason training. Santander did not make a single big-league appearance this season and has totaled just 54 regular-season games played in his first two years with Toronto.

  • Santander (shoulder/back) is scheduled to play in the outfield for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Santander was briefly shut down due to lower-back soreness, but he's been cleared to return to action Friday and is expected to play 5-to-7 innings. He's on track to play a full game in the outfield Sunday, and there's a chance that he plays for the Blue Jays before the 2026 regular season concludes.

  • Santander (shoulder) is not in the lineup for Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday due to lower-back soreness, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Coming back from left shoulder surgery, Santander went 1-for-7 with a 0:1 BB:K in his first two rehab games. He dealt with back and shoulder problems last season as well. Santander was already a long shot to make a late-season return, and the back issue -- while it's considered minor -- won't help his odds.

  • Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Santander (shoulder) will remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo through the middle of next week, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    That means he'll stay with Buffalo through the end of the Blue Jays' homestand. Santander could conceivably be activated after that for the start of Toronto's road trip, though nothing is set in stone. He's coming back from February left shoulder surgery.

  • Santander (shoulder) went 0-for-4 with one strikeout for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

    It was the first game action of the season for Santander, who got the start at DH and hit third for the Bisons. The 31-year-old still has a chance to contribute for the Blue Jays before the end of the regular season if he can shake off enough rust, and Santander's timeline could be accelerated if the shoulder issue George Springer is playing through proves to be more serious than the team anticipates. Santander's brief Toronto tenure has been marred by shoulder trouble that led to surgery in February, but he's still just two years removed from a 44-homer campaign with Baltimore.

  • Santander (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Santander will serve as the designated hitter initially before playing defense, as the Blue Jays plan to have the veteran mainly be an outfielder with the big-league club. In two seasons with Toronto, Santander has appeared in just 54 games, including zero this season. He slashed a miserable .175/.271/.294 in 2025 with six home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and a 25:61 BB:K across 221 trips to the plate. Any production the team gets from the soon-to-be 32-year-old should be viewed as a bonus.
