Lind (foot) is expected to be activated from the disabled list Tuesday, Barry Davis of Sportsnet reports. Lind hit in a simulated game earlier in the day without incident and is already en route to join the Blue Jays in Seattle. His return to action will likely displace Juan Francisco from regular duty at first base or DH.

The back issue that interrupted Lind's (foot) rehab assignment has since come to pass, and he'll reenter the lineup for the GCL Blue Jays on Saturday, Sportsnet's Barry Davis reports. Lind missed only Friday's game as a result of the back issue, with his removal from the lineup likely only for precautionary purposes. If Lind comes through the weekend with his health intact, he'll likely rejoin the Blue Jays on Monday, when the team kicks off its three-game series with the Mariners.

Lind is out of the lineup for the Gulf Coast Blue Jays on Friday due to a back issue, Barry Davis of Sportsnet.ca reports. The 31-year-old went 2-for-2 with two doubles in his first outing with the affiliate Thursday, but apparently his back began acting up Friday morning and he'll miss at least one start as a result. While the extent of the setback is uncertain, it does figure to delay his return to the big club, making a Monday return seem rather unlikely.

Lind (foot) could be back with the Blue Jays as early as Monday, MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm reports. Lind has been out of action since July 7, but smacked two doubles in his only two at-bats of a rehab game Thursday morning. An earlier return for the slugger has yet to be ruled out, but the lefty will most likely be back with the Jays at some point near the beginning of next week. Although two separate DL stints have hampered Lind's production in 2014, he does own a .320/.389/.489 slash line and four home runs over 178 at-bats. Fantasy owners awaiting his return may not be without his services for much longer, while those in need of an average and RBI boost may want to look his way after his activation.

Lind (foot) will start a rehab assignment Thursday with the Gulf Coast Blue Jays, John Lott of the National Post reports. As expected, Lind is starting up the assignment before week's end, but it's unknown if the organization wants to see him face more experienced competition before his activation from the DL. In any case, there's a possibility that he returns during the Blue Jays' weekend series against the Tigers, but early next week in Seattle appears to be a more logical time frame.

Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Tuesday that Lind (foot) may start a minor league rehab assignment later this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports. A specific date for Lind to commence his assignment still has not been set, suggesting a return this week is unlikely, but Gibbons did not rule out a weekend return. It seems more realistic to think Lind will return next week in Seattle after completing an assignment over the weekend.

Adam Lind (foot) could be activated from the disabled list as soon as Thursday. However, the Blue Jays could decide to wait until they begin a homestand on August 5. "He's running, he's still a little bit hobbled, but he's able to do a bit of everything," manager John Gibbons said of Lind, who has been sidelined since early July with a non-displaced fracture in his right foot.

Adam Lind (foot) is scheduled to take batting practice in Florida on Tuesday. Lind landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a non-displaced fracture in his right foot. After receiving a second opinion, it was estimated that he could return in about 2-3 weeks, so there's a chance he'll be back in the Jays' lineup in early August if he can avoid setbacks.

Adam Lind (foot) is expected to return in 2-3 weeks after undergoing a second opinion. Lind was initially expected to be sidelined 6-8 weeks, so obviously this is great news. He'll wear a walking boot on his fractured right foot for the next 5-7 days before then beginning his rehab. Dan Johnson has replaced Lind on the roster.
