--CF Vernon Wells and Lyle Overbay hit solo home runs in the sixth inning Thursday. It marked the sixth time this season that the Jays have had a multi-homer inning, which ties their season mark for all of 2008.
--RHP Brian Bullington, 28, had his contract purchased from Class AAA Las Vegas. In four relief appearances, Bullington was 1-1 with a 1.86 ERA. In 9 2/3 innings, he walked one and struck out 10. The Jays are the third major league team Bullington will have played for. He has had prior stints with Pittsburgh and Cleveland.
--C Rod Barajas connected for two-run home runs in the second and fourth innings of Wednesday's win. They marked his first two homers of the season, and the four RBIs upped his total to seven on the season.
MEDICAL WATCH:
LHP B.J. Ryan (left trapezius tightness) went on the 15-day disabled list April 23. He will need a rehab assignment before returning to the Blue Hays.
LHP Ricky Romero (strained right oblique muscle) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 20.
C Michael Barrett (torn right shoulder muscle) went on the 15-day disabled list April 18.
RHP Jesse Litsch (strained right forearm) went on the 15-day disabled list April 14. He is expected to miss six to eight weeks.
RHP Casey Janssen (right labrum surgery in March 2008) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 27. He missed all of last season. Counted on to be part of the rotation, Janssen suffered a setback in mid-March 2009 when he felt muscle tightness in back of his right shoulder. He is expected to be back with the club in early May.
RHP Dustin McGowan (right shoulder surgery in July 2008) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 27. Initially, he was expected to be able to contribute by mid-June 2009 at the latest, but it appears that a late-July date is a best-case scenario.
RHP Shawn Marcum (Tommy John elbow surgery in September 2008) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 27. Initially, the Blue Jays didn't expect him back until 2010. Now they say he could be back by August.
