Latest news
Joshua (abdomen) was activated from long-term injured reserve Wednesday, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.
Joshua will be a candidate to be in the Maple Leafs' lineup Wednesday versus the Kraken. However, Alter notes there were some delays in getting his equipment to Seattle for the game, which could prevent Joshua from making his return. He should be available for Saturday's game in Vancouver at the latest, and Joshua will be in the mix for bottom-six minutes.

Joshua (abdomen) was recalled from his conditioning loan with AHL Toronto on Monday.
Joshua didn't earn a point in four AHL outings with the Marlies. He remains on long-term injured reserve for now, and it's unclear when he will make his NHL season debut.

Joshua (abdomen) was sent to AHL Toronto on Friday for a conditioning stint.
Joshua hasn't played yet this season because of a core muscle injury. He practiced with the Marlies on Friday, according to Joshua Kloke of The Athletic, but it's unclear when the 30-year-old forward will be available to play in the minors. Joshua had 10 goals, 18 points, 49 PIM and 195 hits in 55 NHL regular-season appearances for the Maple Leafs in 2025-26.

Joshua (abdomen) has been moved from the non-roster list to long-term injured reserve, PuckPedia reports Wednesday.
Joshua was already considered week-to-week, and this move reinforces that he's going to be out for a while. More specifically, he will be forced to miss at least Toronto's first 10 games, and it's possible he will be on the shelf for longer than that. The 30-year-old had 10 goals, 18 points, 49 PIM and 195 hits in 55 regular-season appearances in 2025-26.

Joshua (abdomen) is week-to-week, per Mark Masters of TSN on Monday.
Joshua has been skating at practices recently, but his lingering core muscle injury is expected to result in a long-term absence. He collected 10 goals, 18 points, 52 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 195 hits and 49 PIM in 55 appearances for Toronto during the 2025-26 regular season.
RotoWire via ESPN · Sep 28
Joshua is dealing with a core muscle injury and remains day-to-day, Luke Fox of Sportsnet reports Wednesday.
Joshua's availability for the Opening Night clash with the Canadiens on Sept. 29 remains in doubt. If the 30-year-old winger makes the lineup, he will likely play a bottom-six role and could challenge for the 20-point threshold after missing it in each of the previous two seasons.
