Healthy after shoulder/back issues Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Santander's left shoulder and back "finally feel normal" again, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Santander was limited to only 54 games in 2025 due to a shoulder subluxation and also a nagging lower-back issue. He slashed just .175/.271/.294 in those contests and saw his strikeout rate spike to 27.6 percent. It appears Santander is healthy now, though, and Schneider believes the 31-year-old "is going to be huge for us." Santander split his time between the outfield and designated hitter in 2025 and could do the same in 2026.

Officially moved off roster Santander (back) was removed from the Blue Jays' ALCS roster due to injury Thursday.

Impact Santander was originally scratched from the lineup for Game 2 of the ALCS, though he managed to start in Game 3. The back issue has apparently persisted, with Joey Loperfido now taking Santander's place on the roster. If the Blue Jays advance to the World Series, Santander will be ineligible to play.

Expected to depart ALCS roster The Blue Jays plan to remove Santander (back) from their ALCS roster, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Impact Santander was scratched from the lineup ahead of Game 2 due to lower-back tightness, and renewed soreness will keep him from playing in Game 4 on Thursday as well. The Blue Jays are still in the process of determining the severity of the outfielder's injury, but the expectation is that he will be replaced on the postseason roster. His removal would also render him ineligible to play in the World Series, should Toronto advance, effectively ending his season.

On bench for Game 4 Santander isn't in the lineup for Game 4 of the ALCS against the Mariners on Thursday.

Impact Santander returned to the starting nine Wednesday after sitting out Game 2 with lower-back tightness, but he'll now return to the bench to begin Thursday's contest. Addison Barger will move to the outfield as a result, putting Ernie Clement at the hot corner and Isiah Kiner-Falefa at second base.

Returns to lineup for Game 3 Santander (back) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Wednesday's Game 3 of the ALCS versus the Mariners.

Impact Santander had to be scratched from the Game 2 lineup due to lower-back tightness, but he's feeling well enough to return to action Wednesday as the series moves to Seattle. The 30-year-old is 3-for-13 with two RBI and a 0:4 BB:K in four games this postseason. Santander hadn't previously hit higher than seventh in those four contests, but the Blue Jays are changing up their batting order a bit as they look to jumpstart their offense.
