Toronto Blue Jays

Blue Jays starting pitcher R.A. Dickey lost his sixth game, 6-5 to the Orioles Saturday.  

Dickey allowed three runs in the first inning, a two-run homer in the third and a solo shot in the seventh. He allowed nine hits and three walks in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out four, his lowest total in five starts.

Dickey had a three-game quality-start streak end. He is 4-6 with a 4.85 ERA on in 11 starts. Dickey has struck out 57 and walked 31 in 68 2/3 innings.

His next start is Thursday versus the Braves in Atlanta. 

Blue Jays shortstop Jose Reyes ran for the first time Friday since suffering a severely sprained left ankle, according to MLB.com. He admitted to having some trepidation while running for the first time since suffering the injury April 12.

"It was a little bit scary for me," Reyes said Saturday of his first time running. "But pain free. I just started running a little bit. I'm very happy the way that I performed yesterday; better than I expected. As I said, I'm going to continue to work the hardest I can to be on the field as soon as possible."

Reyes had been limited to soft toss in the batting cage and catch, but could take full batting practice and resume baseball activities in the next week. He says he will know he can play when he is able to round the bases and field his position.

"You can take a ground ball right in front of you and you feel good," Reyes said. "You can hit batting practice and feel good. When it comes to running and jumping around in the real game, it's going to be a different story."

Reyes is still not sure when he will be able to leave for a rehab assignment, though it looks like he could be back sometime in June, rather than at the All-Star break. 

Blue Jays outfielder Rajai Davis has begun swinging, but has yet to play in a rehab game, as he continues to recover from a left oblique injury.  

"He just started doing a little bit of swinging," manager John Gibbons told MLB.com Saturday. "We don't think he's too far off, but still you got to be cautious with that."

Davis has been taking dry swings off a tee and participating in minor baseball activities, and is expected to need a few game appearances in the minors before being activated from the disabled list. 

Toronto recalled pitcher Thad Weber from Triple-A Buffalo Saturday, just a few days after he was claimed off waivers from the Padres. The Blue Jays optioned Sean Nolin to Double-A New Hampshire to make room on the active roster for Weber.  

Weber allowed just two runs in nine innings of work for the Padres earlier in the season. 

Blue Jays third baseman Brett Lawrie went 1 for 2, including his fifth home run, Friday against the Orioles before being ejected by the home-plate umpire for tossing his batting gloves.

After the game, Lawrie told reporters, "I didn’t do anything. I didn’t say one word to him -- not one. Didn’t look at him one time, and I’m in trouble for that," according to the National Post.

Lawrie has hit .195/.257/.367 in 126 at-bats.
