Boppers Back: Blue Jays activate Donaldson and Tulowitzki from disabled list
TORONTO — The injury-plagued Toronto Blue Jays received some welcome relief Friday as two of the team’s star players returned after extended absences.
Third baseman Josh Donaldson and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki were activated from the disabled list before the opener of a weekend series against the Texas Rangers.
“They’re two huge parts of our team,” said Blue Jays manager John Gibbons. “We feel good. We survived their absence anyway. We didn’t totally disappear, so we’ll see. At least our lineup looks like it was supposed to look. We’ll see if we can do anything with it.”
After a disastrous April, the Blue Jays have looked much better in May. They took a 21-26 record and three-game winning streak into Friday night’s game.
