Ceciliani was activated from the 7-day DL and returned to Triple-A Buffalo's lineup on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The outfielder went 1-for-3 with a walk and one run scored in his return to the Bisons' lineup. Ceciliani will need to dirty up his cleats and log some at-bats before the Jays consider him for a call up. However, the 26-year-old is expected to bounce between levels as the 2017 season rolls along.

Ceciliani was placed on the 7-day DL for Triple-A Buffalo after suffering an injury while making a diving catch, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Injuries are no stranger to Ceciliani, who missed a chunk of time at the beginning of the last season, too. He was able to bound back with an .764 OPS and 10 home runs to earn himself a baker's dozen of game with the Jays. Ceciliani's latest ailment doesn't bode well for the outfielder's chances of cracking the big-league roster before summer rolls around -- which was a strong possibility before hitting the minor-league DL.

Ceciliani was optioned to minor league camp Wednesday, John Lott of the Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old went on a nice run toward the middle of March which put him back in the conversation for a roster spot, but he then hit a 1-for-11 slide to close out his time in big-league spring training. While Ceciliani will likely report to Triple-A Buffalo to begin 2017, he could be a DFA candidate early on if the Blue Jays decide they need to add depth at another position.

Ceciliani has heated up this spring and put himself back in the conversation for an Opening Day outfield role, Mark Zwolinski of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a slow start to the Grapefruit League season, Ceciliani has earned a seat at the table with a recent stretch of solid production. He's driven in a team-high eight runs this spring while managing the second-most hits on the team (14). In fairness, Ceciliani's 51 at-bats significantly exceeds most of the team and there's no hiding the 29 percent strikeout rate. Realistically, a platoon in left field is the best it will get for the 26-year-old, and even for that, Ceciliani will need to beat out trusted veteran Ezequiel Carrera. On the positive side, the former fourth-round pick of the Mets is at least garnering some attention that could earn him some MLB playing time later in 2017.

Ceciliani went 0-for-2 with a strikeout Saturday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Ceciliani has now gone down by strikes in four straight spring contests. He's 6-for-24 (.240) with just one walk and seven strikeouts through 11 Grapefruit League games. Ceciliani's lack of plate discipline has plagued him throughout his professional career, and unfortunately for the 26-year-old outfielder, he's once again showing that he's not ready to handle MLB pitching.

Ceciliani, who is last among all outfielders on the team's depth chart, is a candidate to be designated for assignment before the end of spring, SB Nation reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ceciliani hasn't panned out as the Jays had hoped when they acquired him from the Mets last February. Even after an impressive push for a starting role last spring (15-for-36 with four homers and 10 RBI), the outfielder was sent to the minors to open the season. After slashing .345/.398/.581 at Triple-A Las Vegas (Mets) in 2015, Ceciliani disappointed with a .266/.323/.441 at Triple-A Buffalo in 2016. The Jays' outfield is even deeper now than it was a year ago, and the writing appears to be on the wall for the former fourth-round pick. However, a move may not be the worst thing for Ceciliani, as he's shown enough over his eight years to get a starting job for a team in need.

Ceciliani entered Monday's game versus the Yankees as a pinch runner, but did not play the field or get an at-bat.

EDGE Analysis

Monday marked the first time Ceciliani has stepped between the lines since Sept. 9. After striking out in his only at-bat of the month, the outfielder didn't appear in the team's next 15 games, the longest such stretch in Ceciliani's short MLB career. Simply put, the 26-year-old is only on the team because of roster expansions, and he's not expected to contribute during the final weeks.

Ceciliani has just one at-bat since being recalled when rosters expanded at the beginning of the month.

EDGE Analysis

Not that Ceciliani was expected to be too involved, but one at-bat -- which resulted in a strikeout -- is depressing, even for a September call-up. The team has a boatload of more talented outfielders, and speedster Dalton Pompey is handling the rare pinch-running opportunities, leaving Ceciliani no place to get involved.

Ceciliani was promoted from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Shi Davidi of SportsNet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ceciliani has recorded just 26 at-bats over 11 games with the big club this year. During which, he managed to pick up just three hits and struck out 13 times. He posted better numbers with Buffalo, but still left much to be desired as he owned a .266 batting average and .323 on-base percentage.

Ceciliani was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Toronto play-by-play announcer Mike Wilner reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given Toronto's injury woes in the outfield, Ceciliani's demotion to Triple-A on Friday comes as a bit of a surprise. That said, Ceciliani had struggled mightily at the dish since his Aug. 8 call-up, collecting just three hits in 23 at-bats. Ezequiel Carrera and Melvin Upton Jr. figure to start in left and center for the Blue Jays now that Ceciliani is down at Triple-A.
