Ready for 2021 debut Hatch (elbow) is scheduled to make a rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Buffalo.

Impact Buffalo plans to deploy Hatch in a tandem start with Jacob Waguespack, so expect the 26-year-old right-hander to cover around 3-to-4 innings before exiting the game. The outing marks Hatch's first of the season, as he's been on the mend from a right elbow impingement since late March. Hatch will likely need to complete at least two or three rehab starts at Buffalo before the Blue Jays consider bringing him back from the 60-day injured list.

Cleared for sim game Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Hatch (elbow) would throw a simulated game Thursday consisting of about 2-to-3 innings, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Hatch is ready to move on to the next phase of his rehab from a right elbow impingement, which has sidelined him since late in spring training. Due to his extended shutdown, Hatch will likely throw at least one more simulated game after Thursday's before the Blue Jays send him out for a minor-league rehab assignment. Hatch is unlikely to be activated from the 60-day injured list before the end of May.

Transferred to 60-day IL Hatch (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Hatch has been dealing with a right elbow impingement since mid-March but has been throwing bullpen sessions recently. However, the right-hander will now be sidelined until at least June while he continues to recover. Hatch's removal from the 40-man roster will make room for right-hander Jeremy Beasley, who was acquired by Toronto via trade Thursday.

No UCL issues Hatch's elbow discomfort isn't tied to his UCL, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Exits Wednesday's spring game Hatch exited Wednesday's spring game against the Yankees in the top of the third inning with an apparent elbow injury, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

However, he pointed at his elbow/forearm area in the top of the third inning and left the game with a trainer. The severity of his injury is unclear, and it's not yet known whether the issue will impact his availability for Opening Day.

Preparing as starter Hatch is viewed as a starter heading into the upcoming season, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Hatch was exclusively a starter in the minors but appeared out of the bullpen in 16 of his 17 outings as a rookie last season. His 2.73 ERA in 26.1 innings looked quite strong on the surface, but it seems in large part attributable to an unsustainable .232 BABIP, as it came with a mediocre combination of a 21.1 percent strikeout rate and an 11.9 percent walk rate. It's far from guaranteed that he'll earn a rotation spot to start the season, but it appears as though he'll at least be in the mix.
