Buchholz (shoulder) gave up a run and struck out four over three innings Tuesday in his second rehab start for the Blue Jays' rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz proved to be no match for the lower-level competition, surrendering just one hit -- a home run -- in the outing. Assuming he came out of the start with no setbacks to his right shoulder, Buchholz could move up to a full-season affiliate for his next outing. The 35-year-old looks on track to rejoin the Toronto rotation when rosters expand in September.

Buchholz thew two innings in the Gulf Coast League on Friday and will throw again on Tuesday, Alexis Brudnicki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
He allowed one run on four hits and zero walks while recording zero strikeouts. Now that he is pitching in games, it seems possible that he could return before the end of the season. He will likely need more than a few rehab starts to get up to speed, however.

Buchholz (shoulder) will begin long tossing soon, Alexis Brudnicki of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz was able to play catch from 90 feet without issue, so he will extend his distance next time he throws. He still has a few steps to go before he is ready for a rehab assignment.

Buchholz (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz has been dealing with a Grade 2 shoulder strain since mid-May. He'll now be ineligible to return until mid-July. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Jordan Romano, whose contract was purchased from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

Buchholz received an MRI on his inflamed right shoulder Saturday which revealed a Grade 2 teres major strain, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A Grade 2 strain means that there's been some tearing in Buchholz's shoulder, so his absence should be expected to be a fairly significant one. He'll receive a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews next week, at which point a clearer timeline could emerge.

Buchholz was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday with shoulder inflammation, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz was scratched from Friday's start and said he hoped to miss only one start, but will instead take a trip to the IL. The veteran right-hander has a 6.57 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB through 24.2 innings this season, though it remains unclear how long the shoulder has been as issue. Daniel Hudson will start in his place Friday in what should be a bullpen game.

Buchholz is dealing with a lat strain but hopes to miss only one start, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz was scratched from Friday's start against the White Sox due to the issue, but early indications are that it isn't a serious issue. The veteran right-hander's status for his next turn through the rotation should receive some additional clarity within a few days. Daniel Hudson will start for the Blue Jays on Friday in what appears to be a bullpen game.

Buchholz won't make his scheduled start Friday against the White Sox due to shoulder tightness, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Buchholz also battled elbow issues earlier in the season, pushing his season debut into mid-April. It's not clear whether this injury will require another trip to the injured list. Daniel Hudson will serve as the opener Friday in what appears to now be a bullpen game.
