Blue Jays pitcher A.J. Burnett allowed just one run on two hits and struck out nine batters over six innings yesterday while facing the Portland Sea Dogs in a Double-A level rehabilitation assignment.

 

It was Burnett's final outing before his scheduled return to the Jays Thursday in Atlanta.

 

Pitching for Toronto's New Hampshire Fisher Cats affiliate, Burnett allowed only a second-inning homer by Portland first baseman Jeremy West. He walked three batters in the 87-pitch effort as he recovers from right elbow problems.

WOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOO

I was about to post this...wonder how long he will hang around this time. Hopefully his arm troubles are a thing of the past, but I have my doubts

 

Should be a huge lift for the Blue Jays though

To go back on the DL a week after activated... :lol

Sad, but probably true.

I hope he does well. I want him to help the Blue Jays take down the AL East establishment.
