MARCH 10, 2025 • BLUEJAYSNATION.COM
Meeting with doctor Thursday Swanson (forearm/elbow) will meet with Dr. Keith Meister in Texas on Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Swanson has been slowed by forearm and elbow issues this spring. Blue Jays manager John Schneider referred to Swanson's arm issues as "a little bit of a recurring theme," and the goal with Thursday's exam is to "nail down exactly what's going on." More clarity on Swanson's situation is anticipated after Thursday's meeting, but the reliever is expected to begin the season on the injured list regardless of what comes out of the exam.

Impact The Blue Jays are awaiting the results an MRI, which could provide some clarity on how long the 31-year-old will be sidelined. After operating as a reliable high-leverage reliever from 2021 to 2023, Swanson struggled to a 5.03 ERA across 45 appearances last season.

Throws off mound Swanson (forearm) threw 10 pitches off a mound Tuesday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Swanson is a little behind at the beginning of Blue Jays camp due to right forearm fatigue. He was never totally shut down, though, and now that he's progressed to mound work, things are continuing to move in the right direction. Swanson should be fine for Opening Day, barring a setback.

Nursing forearm fatigue Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Swanson will be "a little behind" due to right forearm fatigue, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Impact The club is playing things cautiously with the reliever early on in camp but believes Swanson will have enough time to be ready for Opening Day. Swanson struggled in 2024 with a 5.03 ERA and 37:14 K:BB while allowing 11 home runs over 39.1 innings. However, if healthy, his track record (2.39 ERA, 31 percent strikeout rate from 2022 to 2023) suggests a bounce-back season should be in store.

Avoids arbitration with Toronto Swanson agreed to a one-year deal with the Blue Jays on Friday to avoid arbitration, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Swanson will stick around in Toronto for a third straight season after being acquired from the Mariners in November of 2022. Swanson spent most of the 2024 regulars season in the majors, and across 45 outings with the Blue Jays, he posted a 5.03 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 39.1 innings. The 31-year-old will provide right-handed relief out of Toronto's bullpen for the 2025 campaign.

Rejoins major-league roster The Blue Jays recalled Swanson from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Impact Swanson's first 12 appearances at Buffalo didn't go well, as he was tagged for 22 runs (17 earned) over 10 innings. He had been better lately though, yielding two runs with a 5:1 K:BB over his last 5.1 frames. Swanson likely won't see high-leverage work right away, but he could find himself in a prominent role if the Blue Jays ship out relievers like Yimi Garcia and Trevor Richards before the trade deadline.

Could be recalled soon The Blue Jays are considering recalling Swanson from Triple-A Buffalo soon, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Swanson had to exit his last appearance with Buffalo due to heat-related illness, but he's expected to be fine. The reliever was dreadful in his first 12 appearances with Buffalo after being sent down, posting a 15.30 ERA and 11:12 K:BB. However, he's turned in consecutive scoreless outings and that seems to have convinced the Blue Jays he's ready to help out in the majors again.
