#BlueJays activate Reyes from DL, send Kawasaki to triple-A

[jaysfan2014]

No surprises here. Goins/Tolleson will platoon 2B until Travis returns next week.

[LTR]

I hope they platoon Goins vs. righties until Travis is back.

[Dylan]

This is good news

[ScientificReason]

Now we need travis back and bautista back in right field. Bautista's injury was incredibly dumb.

[Atothe]

Thanks Kawa, welcome back you smiling bundle of you. Now all we need is Devon back and Batista to the outfield

I always forget that Goins is a lefty... Also doesn't this mean that Kawa is exposed?

He has unlimited options.

Problem is Reyes always takes a while to get rolling and get his timing right after injury... but as long as I don't ever see him bat right vs. a righty again I'm happy.

Are you forgetting who was getting starts at Short? I will live with it

[CrackerJack]

Kawasaki gets his ring now when the Jays win the world series this year!

I really don't mind Goins as a filler... exceptional defense is a thing.

Thank god

lol.

 

Actually thought it would be worse... would be more curious about the first week after DL.

I was more interested in the fact that he's approaching 40AB (not PA) in 1st games back from the DL.

Reyes PA and AB = essentially the same, lol.

[Orgfiller]

Hopefully he's fully healed. Very good news. Now we only need Travis back and Joey Bats to start playing the OF again.

[BigCecil]

Thrilled to have him back.

 

Hope he is healthy and can inject some life at the top of the order and create some opps for JD et al to mash him in.

 

Reyes is way overpaid vis a vis value but he can still be a valuable and exciting player.
