LATEST INJURIES
LHP Ricky Tiedemann (Blue Jays' No. 5 prospect)
Injury: Left elbow soreness
Expected return: Week to week
Status: Tiedemann was scheduled to begin throwing again March 10, which is a step in the right direction after being shut down the past couple of weeks. The Blue Jays were working to find some preventative measures to help Tiedemann avoid further elbow soreness in the future. (updated: March 10) More >>
RHP Shane Bieber
Injury: Right forearm fatigue
Expected return: Week to week with a "delayed" ramp-up
Status: Bieber working in a couple of "heavy" throw days each week, but has yet to return to the mound and it will remain difficult to chart a timeline until that happens. (updated: March 10) More >>
RHP Yimi García
Injury: Rehab from 2025 right elbow surgery
Expected return: Will miss Opening Day
Status: Garcia is on a similar timeline to Bieber, working through some "heavy" throw days each week, but he has not thrown off a mound yet. (updated: March 10)
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)
