RHP Sergio Santos, out since April 21 due to shoulder inflammation, said his progress has been slower than expected. He continues to work on a throwing program at the Blue Jays' facility in Dunedin, Fla., but has yet to start pitching off a mound. "The last week I felt a lot better, so I'm really looking forward to building up this week and hopefully having some bullpen stuff maybe sometime next week," Santos said.

Santos (shoulder) hopes to play long toss by the end of the week, Sportsnet.ca reports.
Recommendation: "The last week I felt a lot better so I'm really looking forward to building up this week and hopefully having some bullpen stuff maybe sometime next week," Santos said. "It's feeling OK, it's feeling better, it's getting there." The Jays still haven't provided an expected timetable for Santos' return to their bullpen, so Casey Janssen will continue to serve as the interim closer.
