This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Blue Jays injury news and transactions.
LATEST INJURIES
LHP Ricky Tiedemann (Blue Jays' No. 5 prospect)
Injury: Left elbow soreness
Expected return: Week to week
Status: Tiedemann is still holding back from throwing following a recent bullpen session, but there is nothing structural and the Blue Jays are looking at ways to prevent further soreness. (updated: March 3) More >>
RHP Shane Bieber
Injury: Right forearm fatigue
Expected return: Week-to-week with a "delayed" ramp-up
Status: Bieber is still throwing on flat ground at 120 feet. While everything is still going according to plan, it will be difficult to chart much of a timeline until Bieber begins throwing off a mound, which should happen at some point in the coming weeks. (updated: Feb. 28) More >>
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 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)
