This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Blue Jays injury news and transactions.
LATEST INJURIES
RHP Yimi García
Injury: Rehab from 2025 right elbow surgery
Expected return: Will miss Opening Day
Status: Was throwing out to 120 feet early in camp, which was part of the plan as he rehabbed, but he will not be ready in time for Opening Day. (updated: Feb. 22)
OF Anthony Santander
Injury: Left shoulder labral surgery
Expected return: Potentially by end of 2026 season
Status: Santander underwent surgery to repair the labral tear and is hoping to return to the Blue Jays in five to six months. This should be clearer by June, but any return in 2026 would be a success. (updated: Feb. 22) More >>
RHP Shane Bieber
Injury: Right forearm fatigue
Expected return: Week-to-week with a "delayed" ramp-up
Status: Bieber explained this as more of a precaution than anything else, and has moved from 90 to 120 feet throwing on flat ground. If he can get on a mound soon, he could put himself on track to miss minimal time and return early in the season. (updated: Feb. 22) More >>
RHP Bowden Francis
Injury: Right UCL reconstruction surgery
Expected return: 2027
Status: Francis underwent surgery and will miss the entire 2026 season. He is with the club now to begin his rehab in Florida. (updated: Feb. 22)
