(AP Photo/Michael Wyke) TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays reinstated second baseman Andres Gimenez and backup catcher Tyler Heineman before Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Gimenez missed about four weeks due to a right quadriceps strain while Heineman was out for over a week due to a concussion. Both players were active for the opener of the three-game series at Rogers Centre. Manager John Schneider also provided updates on a number of injured players during his pre-game media availability. — Right-hander Max Scherzer, who has made one start this season due to a thumb issue, threw a 37-pitch live bullpen session Tuesday. The next step will likely be a three-inning/50-pitch appearance Sunday in a simulated game or a Florida Complex League game. — Outfielder Anthony Santander (shoulder) had a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) injection on Monday and will likely need 5-7 days before he resumes throwing activity. — Right-hander Nick Sandlin (lat strain) and infielder Will Wagner (foot) made appearances in an FCL game on Tuesday. — Right-hander Alek Manoah (elbow) has been throwing bullpen sessions at the team's development complex in Florida. He hopes to progress to a live bullpen session over the next week. — Right-hander Yimi Garcia (shoulder) played catch on flat ground and right-hander Ryan Burr (shoulder) was feeling better after a cortisone injection. — There was no update on centre-fielder Daulton Varsho, who's week-to-week with a left hamstring strain. Also Tuesday, infielder Michael Stefanic and catcher Ali Sanchez were designated for assignment. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 3, 2025. The Canadian Press
