Anthony Santander Starting Rehab Assignment on Thursday
Anthony Santander (back, shoulder) is starting his minor-league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Buffalo after it was pushed back earlier this week, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet. Santander will serve as the DH for the first few games before playing both right and left field. It's unclear exactly when the 30-year-old might be able to finally rejoin the big-league roster, and it will depend on how he's progressing once he returns to defense in the outfield. After a big year in 2024 in which the Venezuelan switch-hitter popped a career-high 44 homers and drove in 102 runs for the Baltimore Orioles, he's been a massive bust in his first year in Toronto and has played in only 50 games due to a subluxation in his left shoulder that he suffered in May. He's dealt with back tightness recently, but he could be back soon to help Toronto's push toward the postseason.
