Lourdes Gurriel Jr. hopes to return before the playoffs

He has started running again, but he is not in great shape.

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is here in Toronto with #BlueJays. He’s beginning a running progression, not yet running bases. Hope is Jays can get him into regular season games to get timing back at some point in next 10 days.

Santiago Espinal, he went back to hitting the ball.

Santiago Espinal is about to start hitting off a tee.

Obliques are tricky to put a timeline on, but like Gurriel, #BlueJays are aiming to get him back during the regular season so he’s not going cold into a postseason game.

Visit of the White House of the Brave

The World Series champions carried on the tradition.

Auston Matthews will perform the ceremonial throw tomorrow

The Blue Jays hope to attract people to the stands on the sidelines of the series against the Yankees.

Maple Leafs star Austin Matthews will throw the ceremonial first pitch for Tuesday’s #Bluejays-Yankees game at the Rogers Centre. Jays pushing ticket sales hard for three-game series. Plenty of good seats available, as they say.
