Matt Chapman - Resumes baseball activity Chapman (finger) began hitting and throwing Friday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Impact Although progress is being made in Chapman's recovery, the 30-year-old remains without a firm timetable for his return -- though he should still be able to play again before the end of the year. Chapman has been on the injured list since Aug. 28 with a sprained right middle finger.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Erik Swanson - Making rehab appearance Saturday Swanson (back) will pitch in a game for Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Impact Saturday will likely be the only rehab appearance Swanson makes in the minors, and he remains on track to return from the injured list when eligible Monday. The 30-year-old righty allowed just one run over 9.1 frames after the beginning of August before landing on the IL on Aug. 27.

Danny Jansen - Undergoes surgery Jansen underwent surgery to insert a pin into his fractured right middle finger Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Jansen's procedure will officially keep him out for the remainder of the regular season. Luckily, the Blue Jays have not yet ruled out a return during the postseason, so there's still a chance Jansen is able to aid Toronto in its playoff run. He will finish the 2023 campaign with a .228/.312/.474 slash line alongside 17 homers and 53 RBI across 301 plate appearances.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Belt - Remains sidelined Friday Belt (illness) isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Friday against the Royals.
Impact Friday will mark the fifth straight game Belt has missed, as he continues to fight off a stomach virus. Davis Schneider will replace Belt as Toronto's DH, allowing Cavan Biggio to start at third base.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • THEATHLETIC.COM
Mason McCoy - Sent down to Triple-A McCoy was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Impact McCoy is the roster casualty as the Blue Jays bring back Bo Bichette from the injured list. The utility player was hitless in just two plate appearances during his brief time in the majors.
SEPTEMBER 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bo Bichette - Activated from injured list Bichette (quad) was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Impact It's the first day Bichette was eligible to return and he has rejoined a Blue Jays club which currently sits a half game up on the Rangers for the final playoff spot in the American League. Bichette did not go out on a rehab assignment, so a little rust is possible, but fantasy managers will be happy to stick him back into their lineups as soon as they're able.
