Travis (shoulder) will begin his rehab assignment Friday at High-A Dunedin, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Travis has been recovering from offseason shoulder surgery since November, but he's been able to ramp up his activity over the last few weeks and he's now primed to get back into game action. He'll start at High-A on Friday and he will have up to 20 days on his rehab assignment before being activated from the disabled list, at which point he will compete for playing time at second base with the likes of Ryan Goins and Darwin Barney.

Travis (shoulder) played in the field Thursday for the first time since off-season shoulder surgery during an extended spring training game against Yankees, ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

In four innings, he handled two plays without any problems. "Shoulder feels great," Travis said. "I don't even think about it. Getting ready for baseball." At the plate, he went 0-for-3. There is still no definitive timetable on his return to the big league club.

Travis (shoulder) will not necessarily be handed the starting job at second base once he completes his rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Second base belongs to Ryan Goins, and while that could eventually change, Travis will need to earn his spot on the field. The 25-year-old Travis hasn't played since last July because of left shoulder surgery, and once he returns to a full workload, Travis will need to post some strong numbers before he can be seriously considered. Travis is set to start hitting at extended spring camp on Friday, but an exact timeline for his return to second base remains uncertain. Once cleared, Travis will go on a rehab assignment, but even when that's completed, the Blue Jays could option him to the minors if they feel he needs more time to round into form.

Travis (shoulder) will get some at-bats Friday during an extended spring game and will need a full spring training's worth of games before returning to the Blue Jays, Barry Davis of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

There is no set return date yet for Travis but he says "he feels great." He had been battling a nagging shoulder injury for most of last season, warranting a couple stints on the DL before being placed there in late July and hasn't returned since. The 25-year-old second baseman is slowly working his way back into the fold, as the Blue Jays have not yet set a target date for his rehab assignment in the minors.

Travis (shoulder) will take batting practice again Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monday's batting practice session, Travis' first since undergoing shoulder surgery last summer, was reportedly a success. Travis has also resumed some light on-field work, but the team will continue to bring him along slowly. There is no known target date for Travis to begin a minor league rehab assignment.

Travis is scheduled to take live batting practice Monday for the first time since last July's shoulder injury, but the team still plans on bringing his recovery along slowly, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old second baseman is expected to sit out until at least May, and there's nothing to suggest that timetable has been adjusted at this point. Travis appears to be making some progress but still remains relatively early on in the recovery process. Expect more updates on his status as he graduates beyond batting practice.

Travis (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, Toronto play-by-play announcer Mike Wilner reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays made some house cleaning moves Saturday in advance of Opening Day, officially placing several players on the 15-day disabled list. Travis isn't expected to be back until May at the earliest, so even his retroactive placement on the DL backdated to March 25 doesn't change his status for the time being. Ryan Goins and Darwin Barney figure to platoon at second base until Travis can return.

Travis (shoulder) will be out until at least May, Brendan Kennedy of the Toronto Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per the report, Travis will likely be out even longer, but it remains a long way out to project an exact timetable. The 25-year-old has yet to resume baseball activities since undergoing surgery on his left shoulder in September, so he'll likely be eased back into action. Ryan Goins looks to be in line to take over the bulk of the action at the keystone in Travis' absence.

Travis is beginning to get full range of motion back in his surgically-repaired left shoulder, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Travis was recently re-evaluated by the doctor who performed his surgery and received positive news. While there is still no timetable for the 25-year-old's return to full baseball activities, it is nonetheless good news for the second basemen's recovery process.

Travis (shoulder) remains on track to miss the start of the 2016 season, ESPN's Buster Olney reports.

EDGE Analysis

With plenty of offense in tow, the Jays can afford to take their time with the young second baseman. Upon having surgery on his left shoulder in November, the expectation was that Travis would need 16-20 weeks to recover. Ryan Goins remains the favorite to pick up the extra playing time at second base while Travis is on the shelf.
