Blue Jays place big-ticket free-agent slugger Anthony Santander on 10-day IL
Article content At least for the time being, Tony Taters is in tatters. Article content Article content Given the five-year deal worth a cool $92.5-million he signed this off-season in free agency, Anthony Santander isn't going anywhere any time soon. He is going on the 10-day injured list, a move the Blue Jays revealed in the hours leading up to Friday night's first pitch against the visiting Athletics. Article content To date, the Jays have not received much from the investment they made into the switch-hitting slugger, whose struggles at the plate prompted the club to recently give Santander an off-day to reset, only to admit he was dealing with a sore shoulder and later a hip issue. Article content For the record, Santander's activation to the injured list was necessitated because of left shoulder inflammation. He had an MRI on it done on Thursday. Article content In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays recalled outfielder Alan Roden from the triple-A Buffalo Bisons. Article content Despite dealing with his various health woes, at no point, until now, Santander was never placed on the IL, even though voices outside of the club were growing louder as his productivity at the plate faltered. Article content Earlier this month, when the Jays were on a West Coast trip, Santander suffered the shoulder injury in a series against the L.A. Angels. The injury occurred when he crashed into the stands down the line in right field in pursuit of a fly ball. Article content When the Jays got their hands on Santander — a move many in baseball endorsed, by the way — the thinking was the franchise had finally found a slugging piece to hit in the middle of the order. Article content In 50 games, Santander, who hit a career-high 44 homers last season with the Baltimore Orioles, has gone deep six times. Article content Article content His 55 strikeouts does lead the Blue Jays, a stat no one envisioned when he arrived in town. Article content If he had double-digit homers, perhaps all of those K's would be tolerated. Article content On one side, credit goes to Santander for trying to play through the injury, even though he wasn't producing much in his at-bats. On the other, one is left to wonder why such a move to go on the IL wasn't made sooner. Article content The team, meanwhile, continues to evaluate whether anything played out to make the shoulder worse in the wake of the initial setback, and if rest is the best course of action or resorting to a cortisone shot. Article content In other IL-related developments, veteran right-hander Max Scherzer (thumb) completed a live bullpen session Friday at the Rogers Centre under the auspices of club GM Ross Atkins, manager John Schneider and pitching coach Pete Walker. Many of Scherzer's teammates were on hand as well. Article content By all accounts, the experience went well.

Crocked Tottenham players spent twice as long on the sidelines than Liverpool's but who topped the Premier League's injury table?
Tottenham Hotspur were among the hardest-hit clubs in the Premier League this season when it came to player availability — but they weren't the worst off. Spurs lost a staggering 1,553 player-days to injury — more than double Liverpool 's total — in a campaign that saw them slump to 17th, their lowest-ever Premier League finish. Only Brighton players, with 1,944, missed more days through injury, while Ipswich (1,506 days) and Arsenal (1,297 days) also had serious availability issues. The Gunners endured 36 separate injury cases. Only Brighton (48), Tottenham (41) and Ipswich (41) had more cases. The figures, compiled by Premier Injuries, include any injury issue that forced a player to miss at least one competitive match. Illnesses and pre-season knocks do not count. Manchester United (1,295), Bournemouth (1,185) and Manchester City (1,134) all lost in excess of 1,000 player-days to injury, while West Ham (672), Nottingham Forest (673) and Liverpool (765) fared best in terms of player availability. Liverpool's fitness record was a key part of their title-winning campaign, with 11 outfield players making 30 or more league appearances. By contrast, only five Arsenal outfielders hit the 30-game mark. Meanwhile, several Arsenal stars — including Bukayo Saka and Gabriel — underwent surgery during the season. Gunners manager Mikel Arteta previously admitted his squad had been left 'super-short', and has stressed the need for greater depth to handle the physical demands of the modern calendar. Brighton, despite their injury crisis, still managed to finish an impressive eighth. But for others — like Tottenham and relegated Ipswich — the toll was harder to absorb. Spurs, who had also been battling a packed schedule, won just 11 league games and came embarrassingly close to relegation. However, their season ended on a high, as Ange Postecoglou's decision to focus on Europe in the second half of the campaign paid off. Tottenham won the Europa League with a 1–0 victory over Manchester United in the final, salvaging silverware from an otherwise turbulent year. DAYS LOST TO INJURY BY PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYERS IN 2024-25 Brighton - 1,944 Tottenham - 1,553 Ipswich - 1,506 Arsenal - 1,297 Man United - 1,295 Bournemouth - 1,185 Man City - 1,134 Everton - 1,120 Crystal Palace - 1,041 Brentford - 1,027 Wolves - 991 Southampton - 942 Leicester - 878 Fulham - 851 Chelsea - 828 Aston Villa - 804 Newcastle - 779 Liverpool - 765 Nottingham Forest - 673 West Ham - 672 Brighton - 48 Tottenham - 41 Ipswich - 41 Arsenal - 36 Aston Villa - 35 Southampton - 34 Man United - 33 Man City - 33 Wolves - 31 Leicester - 27 Brentford - 26 Everton - 24 Fulham - 24 Chelsea - 24 Newcastle - 24 Bournemouth - 23 Crystal Palace - 23 West Ham - 23 Liverpool - 22 Nottingham Forest - 20
