Manager John Schneider has provided a timeline for the return of their $92 million slugger, Anthony Santander. Sidelined since last season, Santander is now expected to resume swinging within the next week, with an August return a distinct possibility. This news could provide a much-needed boost for the team, which has been without the power hitter since his blockbuster signing. His potential return could function like a crucial trade deadline acquisition, injecting vital offensive production into the lineup as the Blue Jays aim to solidify their playoff contention, though caution will be exercised given his injury history.
