Smith (shoulder) was activated from the disabled list Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith ultimately missed just over a month of action due to a bout of shoulder inflammation, but he seems to be back to full health now after a few rehab appearances. He'll look to reclaim his spot as the top setup man for closer Roberto Osuna as he and Chris Smith enter the fold to replace Jeff Beliveau and Aaron Sanchez (finger) on the active roster.

Smith (shoulder) is expected to be activated from the disabled list Saturday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

The reliever is reportedly with the team already, but given how overworked the bullpen is at the moment, the Blue Jays will wait a day to activate Smith. No word has come forth as to what the corresponding move will be to get him on the active roster, but things should clear up as Saturday's game time approaches.

Smith (shoulder) will join the team in Cleveland on Friday after partaking in another rehab appearance, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been out since June 14 with right shoulder inflammation, but appears to be coming to the end of his stint on the disabled list. He will make his third rehab appearance in the minors after pitching Friday and Monday with Triple-A Buffalo. Barring any setbacks, Smith should be able to slide right back into his role out of Toronto's bullpen, earning high-leverage situations upon his arrival.

Smith (shoulder) was activated off the disabled list Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was put on the disabled list with shoulder inflammation June 19, but the rehab is over and the reliever is ready to return to the Blue Jays' bullpen. He was striking out 36.7 percent of batters he was facing and was holding hitters to a .235 average before the injury and will now look to reclaim his role as primary set-up man for closer Roberto Osuna.

Smith (shoulder) will make one more rehab appearance at Triple-A Buffalo before rejoining the Jays next week in Boston, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been out nearly a month, but the club appears comfortable with the right-hander logging just two rehab games. The reliever owns a 3.41 ERA with an impressive 47:8 K:BB through 31.2 innings (34 appearances) this season. With 11 holds already logged, Smith should have a shot at notching 20-plus holds before the campaign ends.

Smith (shoulder) tossed an 11-pitch inning, allowing a hit and notching a strikeout in his first rehab appearance Friday with Triple-A Buffalo, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old veteran is a bit behind the expected recovery schedule, but there's been no reports of a major setback. Smith, who owned a fine-looking 1.14 WHIP with 11 holds in 34 games before the injury, should be back in the Jays bullpen very soon.

Smith (shoulder) threw off a mound Sunday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday before beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has been sidelined with right shoulder inflammation since June 19 but has progressed well over the past few weeks and is set to begin the final stages of his rehab regimen. Barring any setbacks, his current rehab schedule suggests that the 33-year-old may be able to rejoin the Blue Jays' bullpen shortly after the All-Star break.

Manager John Gibbons said Tuesday that he no longer expects Smith (shoulder) to return from the 10-day disabled list before the All-Star break, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays had previously been bullish of Smith's chances of rejoining the bullpen for their weekend series with the Astros, but it looks like the right-hander isn't progressing quite quickly enough to make it back by that time. There's been no indication that Smith's shoulder inflammation has acted up again, so the Blue Jays may just have wanted to give him some additional time off to heal up before returning to games. Once he's activated, Smith should reclaim a top setup role behind closer Roberto Osuna.

The Blue Jays are hopeful that Smith (shoulder) will be able to return from the 10-day disabled list during the club's four-game series with the Astros over the weekend, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has reported improvement with his throwing shoulder in recent days and could soon head out on a one-game rehab assignment in the minors, though the Blue Jays may feel comfortable with having him complete a simulated outing with the big club before activating him. The right-hander should step back into a primary setup role for closer Roberto Osuna once he's deemed healthy after turning in a 3.41 ERA, a 47:8 K:BB and 11 holds over 31.2 innings before hitting the DL.

Smith was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday with right shoulder inflammation, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith had been cruising along as the Blue Jays' setup man prior to a three-run implosion on June 14, so this may help explain part of his struggles in that contest. However, exact details on the severity of the ailment remain unknown, although the earliest he can return to action is late next week. Leonel Campos will return from Triple-A to fill his spot in the bullpen.
