TORONTO — Anthony Santander has been transferred to the 60-day injured list with left shoulder inflammation, the Toronto Blue Jays announced Friday.
The 30-year-old outfielder was placed on the 10-day IL on May 30.
Santander, who signed a five-year, US$92.5-million deal with Toronto in the off-season, has struggled at the plate with the Blue Jays. He's hitting .179 with six homers and 18 RBIs over 50 games.
