TORONTO - Slugger Anthony Santander is progressing toward a return to the É«É«À² Blue Jays lineup.
Santander will be the designated hitter in three games for the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, starting tonight. After that, he’ll play a handful of games in left and right field for the Bisons.
Santander has been out with a shoulder injury since May 29.
His rehab assignment in Buffalo, N.Y., was supposed to start earlier this week but was delayed due to back tightness.Â
