While Spring Training is normally the time when players get ready for the regular season, several Blue Jays will instead use it to heal the injuries.

Here's a look at where the injured Blue Jays stand.
The only non-pitcher on this list, Varsho is scheduled to miss roughly the first two weeks of the season. His offseason shoulder surgery was a success and he is on schedule to return around the middle of April.
The former ace found himself last year before going down with injury, and subsequently underwent Tommy John surgery in June. He has already started throwing from 90 feet and if all goes well, could rejoin the Blue Jays by late July or early August.
The Blue Jays took a chance by selecting Bastardo in the Rule 5 draft, knowing he was injured. He too is recovering from Tommy John surgery. If Blue Jays don't offer him back to the Boston Red Sox, he will be a member of the bullpen by August.
The former top prospect is on a similar timeline to Manoah. While he will be healthy by August, the Blue Jays may choose to wait until 2026 for Tiedemann to make his MLB Debut.
Brandon Barriera
The number one draft pick should be fully healed and is good to start the year in High-A Vancouver.
THE REST
The Blue Jays have eight other pitchers currently recovering from Tommy John surgery including Chad Dallas and TJ Brock, who both had a chance to pitch in the majors this year.
The majority of them will be out until 2026.
