1. SANTANDER’S SLIDE
It’s curious how a couple of minor issues involving a shoulder and hip were cited when Anthony Santander was given two days off, though he did enter Saturday’s game as a pinch-hitter, only to be intentionally walked, setting the stage for Ernie Clement’s walk-off single.
His day off on Friday was viewed as a reset for the struggling switch-hitting slugger, until the shoulder subject was broached post-game.
Santander was back in the lineup on Sunday at DH, but was hitting fifth in the batting order when he normally had been in the No. 3 hole.
One wonders if Santander continues to move down in the order when the Jays have all their regular position players available.
Interestingly, he led off the second inning Sunday with a defensive swing that led to a pop out to third. Of note: Plate umpire Steven Jaschinski, of Burlington, made his MLB debut on Friday. The two had a brief exchange after Santander asked for a timeout, which wasn’t granted, just prior to his soft pop out.
