Borucki (hamstring) was activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Borucki opened the season on the injured list with a strained right hamstring, but he's recently built up to 35 pitches in a simulated game and will rejoin the active roster. The 28-year-old had a 4.94 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB over 23.2 innings last year and should fill a low-leverage role out of the bullpen.

Borucki (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a one-inning simulated game Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Borucki threw 30 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday, but he'll be limited to just one inning during Friday's throwing session. If he checks out fine after the sim game, the southpaw will be in the mix begin a rehab assignment afterward, or he could directly join the Blue Jays' bullpen if the team needs additional relievers.

Borucki (hamstring) played light catch Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Borucki threw 30 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday, and he was able to throw once again a day later. The Blue Jays haven't yet determined the southpaw's next step in his recovery. If Borucki feels good following Wednesday's throwing session, he'll have a chance to join the major-league bullpen if the team needs relief help.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Borucki (hamstring) completed a 30-pitch simulated game Tuesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Borucki checked out fine after facing hitters, but the Blue Jays may want him to throw one more bullpen session before either sending him out on a brief minor-league rehab assignment or reinstating him from the 10-day injured list. The southpaw reliever wasn't able to make the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster after strained his right hamstring in his final Grapefruit League appearance April 1.

Borucki (hamstring) is throwing off a mound and should be ready to join the Blue Jays' bullpen soon, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
April 14 is the earliest date Borucki can be activated from the IL, but it looks like he's on track to meet that timeline. The southpaw struggled through an injury-plagued 2021, posting a 4.94 ERA and 21:11 K:BB over 23.2 innings, and he figures to work in middle relief once he's healthy.

Borucki (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The move can be backdated by three days, leaving Borucki eligible to return April 14. Given that he was thought to be in contention for an Opening Day roster spot as recently as Sunday, it seems as though a minimum-length stay is in play.

Borucki (hamstring) is slated to pitch in a simulated game Tuesday, Laura Armstrong of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Blue Jays will wait and see how Borucki's sore right hamstring responds to the sim game before determining whether he'll be part of the Opening Day bullpen. Even if Borucki is forced to begin the season on the 10-day injured list, he'll likely be in store for a minimum stint, given that he's already been cleared to face hitters.

Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said Sunday that Borucki (hamstring) continues to work out and throw and could be cleared for Opening Day, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
On Saturday, Borucki was sent in for an MRI, which confirmed that he was dealing with right hamstring tightness but no other damage. Since Borucki hasn't been shut down from throwing, he'll have a shot at being ready for the team's April 8 season opener versus the Rangers, though the lefty would likely need to make an appearance at some point over the Blue Jays' remaining three exhibition games to avoid the injured list.

Borucki (hamstring) will undergo an MRI, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
EDGE Analysis
Borucki left Friday's Grapefruit League appearance against the Pirates due to right hamstring discomfort, and his MRI should help provide clarity on the extent of the injury. He's made four appearances this spring and has allowed two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in 3.1 innings.
