TORONTO — Four players on the Toronto Blue Jays' injured list are making progress in their recovery.
Gold Glove-winning centre-fielder Kevin Kiermaier hit in the batting cage before Toronto hosted the Kansas City Royals on Monday.
Kiermaier, who is on the 10-day IL with left hip flexor inflammation, also did some running activities.
Relief pitcher Chad Green resumed throwing on Monday as he rehabilitates a teres major strain in his right shoulder.
Long reliever Bowden Francis is expected to resume throwing activities in the next couple of days as he recovers from right forearm extensor tendinitis.
Starting pitcher Alek Manoah will take the mound for the triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Tuesday as he deals with shoulder inflammation.

Yeah, you guys are correct, he needs to load like he did in '21, like why the f*** would they change from that? That kind of really grinds my gears, not sure when he changed but it was stupid as his advanced numbers were still good last year and parts of this early season. Mind boggling, and the talent is massive.
Bo I think is just in a funk/slump, no way he's a 2% barrel rate guy. He has the bat speed to get back to 10%, I think.
Probably piggy-backed until he gets down two innings with the Silver Fox following him, they'll likely need to get a 5 at the deadline, if Manoah can't make it back. I think.
