This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Blue Jays injury news and transactions.
LATEST INJURIES
CF Daulton Varsho
Injury: Right rotator cuff surgery
IL date: March 27 (10-day IL, retroactive to March 24)
Expected return: Mid-April
Status: Varsho is now throwing at up to 150 feet. The Blue Jays want to get him past 180 feet next, then track his throwing velocities, but he's clearly getting closer to full game action. (Updated March 31) More >>
RHP Erik Swanson
Injury: Median nerve entrapment
IL date: March 27 (15-day IL, retroactive to March 24)
Expected return: Potentially late April
Status: Swanson is throwing on flat ground around 105 feet, but there is not set timeline for his first mound session just yet. (Updated March 31)
RHP Ryan Burr
Injury: Right shoulder inflammation
IL date: March 27 (15-day IL, retroactive to March 24)
Expected return: Potentially mid-late April
Status: Burr is throwing on flat ground around 105 feet, but like Swanson, there is still no set plan yet for his first mound session. (Updated March 31)
RHP Max Scherzer
Injury: Right thumb inflammation
IL date: March 30 (15-day IL)
Expected return: Potentially late April
Status: Scherzer left Saturday's 9-5 loss to the Orioles after just three innings and was later diagnosed with lat soreness, but his IL designation is tied to his right thumb, which is the root cause of this. He'll visit a hand specialist early this week. (Updated March 30) More >>
LHP Brendon Little
Injury: Left lat cramp
Expected return: As early as March 29
Status: Little was removed from Friday's 8-2 win over the Orioles, but he's avoided an injury here, and the Blue Jays will not need to make a roster move. He's available right away. (Updated March 29)
RHP Alek Manoah
Injury: Right UCL surgery
Expected return: Midseason 2025
Status: Manoah threw off the mound again on March 22, marking the second time since his elbow surgery. (Updated March 22)
LHP Ricky Tiedemann
Injury: Tommy John surgery (left elbow)
Expected return: Potentially late 2025
Status: Tiedemann has physical gifts few prospects do, but he has battled injuries, and this recovery is his biggest challenge yet. If he gets back into game action by the end of the 2025 season, that's a success. (Updated Feb. 13)
