Toronto Blue Jays

Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ threw his first side session Tuesday since being struck by a comebacker and suffering a knee sprain, Sportsnet.ca reports. 

Happ took another step in a positive direction. He originally suffered a nasty head injury in his last start May 7 against Tampa Bay but is having more trouble with a knee injury as a result of the subsequent fall. 

The Blue Jays shut down reliever Luis Perez from his rehab of Tommy John surgery Tuesday, MLB.com reports. 

Perez suffered a setback and halted his rehab. Manager John Gibbons called it a minor issue. Perez made one appearance for Class A Dunedin on a rehab assignment and struck out one batter over two perfect innings June 10. 

Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes felt fine after his first rehab game, and could move up to a more challenging level soon, according to the Toronto Star.

Manager John Gibbons said Reyes would likely move up to Double-A or Triple-A by the end of the week. He's expected to play in rehab games for two weeks before he's activated. Reyes is hitting .395/.465/.526 in 38 at-bats. 

Blue Jays pitcher Brandon Morrow suffered a setback during Monday's rehab start, according to MLB.com.

Morrow gave up three runs in two innings during the start. He will have to be re-evaluated due to a sore arm. There will not be a timetable for his recovery until the team determines the severity of the injury. 

Morrow had a 5.63 ERA in 54 1/3 innings prior to the injury.

Blue Jays outfielder Colby Rasmus is not in the team's starting lineup Tuesday against the Rockies. 

Rasmus will be replaced by Rajai Davis, who will hit sixth against Jeff Francis. Rasmus is hitting .249/316/.472 in 229 at-bats. He should return to the lineup Wednesday against Juan Nicasio.
