Blue Jays: J.A. Happ throwing but return not imminent
Earlier today, it was reported by Sportsnet’s Arash Madani that Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher J.A. Happ threw off of flat ground yesterday (May 2rd) at Yankee Stadium. However, there is still no timetable for the return of the left-hander, which could become a bigger problem than originally feared for the club.
The news for other starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez is better. Sanchez will throw this weekend off a mound in Tampa when the Blue Jays go face the Tampa Bay Rays. Depending on how Sanchez’s nail responds, Sanchez could be back in the rotation as soon as the next homestand next week. The lack of real news as to what is wrong with J.A. Happ is somewhat concerning though.
