Bats is back: Blue Jays activate Jose Bautista, DFA Junior Lake

The Toronto Blue Jays have made the obvious official, activating right-fielder Jose Bautista from the 15-day disabled list in time for their series against the San Diego Padres.

Bautista’s timing couldn’t be better as the Blue Jays are coming off a series loss to the Seattle Mariners and entering some critical divisional play.

The original diagnosis of Bautista’s turf toe indicated that he could be out for the entire month of July and potentially longer, so given the unpredictable nature of the injury, the Blue Jays have come out rather fortunate.
