Slowly but relatively surely, the Blue Jays should start getting key players back in the lineup in the coming days.
Manager John Gibbons, speaking to reporters on Tuesday afternoon at Rogers Centre before the Jays finished a two-game set with the Atlanta Braves, figured that Troy Tulowitzki will be back in uniform on Thursday in Atlanta. Tulowitzki, recovering from a hamstring injury, again played in a minor-league game on Tuesday in Florida.
Catcher Russell Martin (left shoulder) is eligible to be activated on Thursday but it could be a few more days after before he is in the lineup.
