Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Santander (shoulder) has rejoined the Blue Jays in Toronto and has progressed to hitting off high-velocity pitching machines, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Anthony Santander (shoulder) is in Toronto with the Blue Jays; he's progressed to hitting off high-velocity pitching machines.
John Schneider also mentioned that Santander is doing outfield work with outfield coach Mark Budsinski at Rogers Centre.
Santander is also scheduled to take some fly balls in the outfield pre-game on Monday
Santander's activation from the 60-day injured list isn't imminent, but he's finally making tangible progress as he works his way back from a subluxation of his left shoulder.

- RHP Nick Sandlin experience discomfort in elbow during throwing program, getting reassessed
- RHP Yimi Garcia visiting another doctor for a second opinion on his elbow
The switch hitter will require a rehab assignment before returning from the IL, and it's uncertain when he'll be cleared for game action in the minors.
Santander is perhaps the most interesting dilemma on the list.
