Toronto Blue Jays report outfielder Anthony Santander's MRI results
The Blue Jays are now trying to determine the course of action for his rehab but it looks like there is a good chance that he ends up getting a shot of cortisone in the coming days.
"Anthony Santander, who went on the IL today, had an MRI on his left shoulder last night. Blue Jays still determining what his treatment and rehab plan will look like. Possibility he gets a cortisone shot in the coming days." - Arden Zwelling
"Anthony Santander had an MRI on his shoulder yesterday and the #BlueJays are still evaluating whether something happened to make it worse after the initial injury. Could be a cortisone shot, could be rest, but that's TBD for now. They didn't want him playing through it more." - Keegan Matheson MLB.com
Santander has six home runs and has drawn walks at an 11.5% clip but has a 26.3% strikeout rate and a .179/.273/.304 batting line.
That amounts to a 67 wRC+, indicating he's been 33% worse than the league average hitter at the plate.
Santander's .218 batting average on balls in play is really low but he's also hitting the ball with less authority than before.
He barreled up 11.7% of pitches last year but that mark is down to 4.6% this year.
His current 40.8% hard hit rate would be his lowest since 2020.
Is 10 days on the IL enough? Should the Blue Jays wait till Anthony Santander is absolutely 100% before bringing him back?
