Green (shoulder) threw one inning for Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday and is expected to make another rehab appearance Wednesday, setting him up to potentially join the Blue Jays bullpen this weekend, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander breezed through his scoreless frame on only nine pitches Sunday, striking out one batter. Green had a strong start to the season before suffering a shoulder strain in mid-April, recording a win, two saves and two holds in seven appearances with a 2.35 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB in 7.2 innings. He should immediately slot back into a high-leverage role upon activation, but Green's save chances will be limited with Jordan Romano back in the ninth inning after beginning the year on the IL.

Green (shoulder) is expected to make a rehab appearance Sunday with Triple-A Buffalo, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green has been nursing a right shoulder strain since mid-April but seems close to returning to the big-league roster. Assuming he doesn't endure any setbacks, Green could rejoin the Blue Jays before the end of the month.

Green (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Friday's bullpen marks Green's first action off a mound since being placed on the injured list Apr. 20 and marks a significant step in his recovery from a right shoulder strain. At this pace, Green could be back in action later this month.

Green (shoulder) has progressed to playing long toss, and the team is hopeful he can throw off a mound later this week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green has been on the injured list since April 20 due to a teres major strain in his right shoulder. A clearer timeline on his return may emerge once he gets back on a mound, but he figures to still be at least a week or two away from rejoining Toronto's bullpen.

Green (shoulder) hopes to begin throwing in three to seven days, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green is nearly a week removed from landing on the 15-day injured list with a teres major strain in his right shoulder. He will rehab for a few more days before hopefully starting a throwing program. Green still looks to be multiple weeks away from rejoining the Blue Jays.

The Blue Jays placed Green on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right teres major strain, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green's shoulder has kept him out of action since Monday, and it will officially cost him another couple of weeks as he moves to the IL. Nate Pearson will come up from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move to fill the open spot in Toronto's bullpen.

Green was unavailable for Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees due to shoulder soreness, but manager John Schneider hopes the right-hander will be good to go Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Green's pop-up injury hindered him from entering the game, where the Blue Jays could have used some relief help as they allowed five runs in four innings after starting pitcher Kevin Gausman exited. The veteran reliever could be ready to pitch Friday as Toronto takes on the Padres in San Diego.

Green walked one and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Tuesday to record his second save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

He needed 25 pitches (16 strikes) to get the job done, but Green is now 2-for-2 in converting save chances this season with a 3.18 ERA and 4:2 K:BB through 5.1 innings. The veteran right-hander's time as Toronto's closer is likely running short though, as Jordan Romano (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

Green picked up the save in Friday's 3-0 win over the Yankees, working around two hits in a scoreless ninth inning

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees made things interesting with a couple of two-out base hits in the ninth, but Green would ultimately retire Alex Verdugo on a fly ball to the warning track, earning his first save since 2022. The 32-year-old Green is expected to share closing duties with Yimi Garcia and Tim Mayza while Jordan Romano (elbow) is sidelined. Green pitched 12 innings with Toronot last year, going 3-0 with two holds and a 5.25 ERA.

The Blue Jays are expected to use a closer by committee while Jordan Romano (elbow) and Erik Swanson (forearm) are sidelined, with Green, Yimi Garcia and Tim Mayza in the mix, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

For what it's worth, Mitchell lists Green at the top of the pecking order. Green posted a 5.25 ERA and 16:4 K:BB over 12 innings last September after returning from Tommy John surgery. He gave up seven runs in 7.2 innings this spring, although that came with an 11:1 K:BB. Green, Garcia (three saves in 2023) and Mayza (one save in 2023) are all worthy of speculative adds, but with no clear leader in the hierarchy and Romano hopefully back soon, FAAB investments should be relatively modest.
