"Now is the time the Blue Jays need to be at their best. They've lost their AL East lead, being tied with the New York Yankees, although the Blue Jays own the tiebreaker, and the Seattle Mariners are within a game of the American League best record. However, the Blue Jays' offense is struggling to produce runs. The team is feeling a massive void ever since Bo Bichette's knee sprain on September 6, which has kept him on the injured list."
"Anthony Santander has been out since May 30 with shoulder inflammation, but before his exit, he slashed .179/.273/.304 with 14 runs, six home runs, and 18 knocked in over 209 plate appearances. While he may have struggled, it's a good time for him to return. The 30-year-old finished his 10 rehab games with Triple-A Buffalo by going 7-32 with two doubles and two home runs."
The Blue Jays have lost their AL East lead and sit tied with the New York Yankees while the Seattle Mariners are within a game of the American League best record. The offense has faltered since Bo Bichette's knee sprain on September 6, averaging 1.4 runs over seven games with 43 strikeouts and three home runs, ranking near the bottom in batting average and OPS. Anthony Santander, out since May 30 with shoulder inflammation, completed a 10-game Triple-A rehab (7-for-32 with two doubles and two homers) and was reinstated from the 60-day injured list. Roster moves included designating Alek Manoah for assignment and placing Ty France on the 10-day injured list with left oblique inflammation. Santander's return is positioned as a key chance to spark the lineup and bolster postseason positioning.
