Santander Scratched Again from Triple‑A Lineup

Anthony Santander was scratched from the Buffalo Bisons’ lineup for the second consecutive day, according to the Toronto Blue Jays. The 31‑year‑old outfielder, who joined the club in the 2024‑25 off‑season, has been battling lower‑back discomfort after a left‑shoulder surgery in February. Santander had played two rehab games with Buffalo, recording a single in seven at‑bats, but has not appeared since the Wednesday scratch. He was scheduled for a series of rehab appearances through the middle of the week, but the injury has kept him sidelined. Santander, a former Baltimore Orioles slugger who won a Silver Slugger in 2024, has yet to make his first appearance for the Blue Jays this season. The team will monitor his recovery as they look to strengthen their outfield depth heading into the final stretch of the MLB season.
