Jose Bautista Aiming For Weekend Return From Neck Inflammation

An MRI on Jose Bautista's neck revealed nothing serious, but a little bit of muscular inflammation. As such, Bautista was considered day-to-day, and now, via Tony Ambrogio, we've got a timetable for Bautista's return:

#jays manager John Fareel says Jose Bautista is "progressing" but the plan is still for him to return on weekend

If all goes well, the #Jays expect to have Aaron Hill and Jose Bautista in the lineup Sunday. If all goes well...

Could be a lot worse. Could be a lot better, I suppose, but you need to give muscle swelling some time to subside, and the important thing here is that Bautista is not going to go on the disabled list. He’ll just miss a small handful of games.

Playing without Bautista, the Blue Jays scored just two runs against the Rays on Tuesday night, but they do have an early 2-0 lead on Tampa Bay on Wednesday, as of this writing.
