Santander Near Return, Jays Push for Wild Card | Toronto Blue Jays News

Set for another session Monday, he could begin a rehab assignment in Triple-A next week, testing both his bat and his arm in game-like conditions. A key offseason acquisition who earned All-Star and Silver Slugger honors in 2024, Santander’s power is exactly what Toronto needs as they chase a wild card spot with a 70-71 record and a critical three-game series against the Royals looming.
