Jays put RHP Janssen on DL; LHP Mills set to debu

PHILADELPHIA (AP)—The Toronto Blue Jays have placed right-hander Casey Janssen on the 15-day disabled list, and are bringing up left-hander Brad Mills from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Mills will make his major league debut at Philadelphia on Thursday in place of Janssen, who has inflammation in his surgically repaired shoulder. The Blue Jays announced the moves on Wednesday.

Janssen missed all of last season following surgery in spring training. He went 2-3 with a 6.23 ERA after returning on May 23 at Atlanta.

                                                                                Blue Jays CF Vernon Wells injures hamstring

DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP)—Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Vernon Wells injured his left hamstring during drills Monday and could be sidelined for most of spring training.

It’s the same hamstring that kept Wells out for a month last season. The two-time All-Star was scheduled for an MRI late in the day and the team was waiting for results.

“Right now, preliminarily, I’d say he’s going to miss four weeks,” Blue Jays general manager J.P. Ricciardi was quoted as saying by MLB.com.

Wells missed 52 games due to injuries in 2008. He broke his left wrist making a sliding catch early in the season, then returned to the disabled list July 10 with a strained left hamstring.

A three-time Gold Glove winner, Wells batted .300 with 20 home runs and 78 RBIs in 108 games last year. He spent the offseason working with a personal trainer, hoping to strengthen hamstrings that have bothered him for years.

Toronto manager Cito Gaston said he thought Wells was hurt running the bases.

“I was on another field,” Gaston said, “but I noticed he wasn’t doing the cutoffs and relays so it must have happened during that time.”

Gaston said the only positive thing about Wells’ injury is that it happened early in spring training.

“He’s got a chance to be ready to start the season,” possibly as a designated hitter, Gaston said.

It’s the latest setback for Wells, who signed a $126 million, seven-year contract before the 2007 season. Last weekend he was told insurance costs would keep him off the United States squad in the World Baseball Classic. Team USA plays its WBC opener against Canada on March 7 in Toronto.

Gaston said Jose Bautista could replace Wells in center field Wednesday when the Blue Jays play the New York Yankees in their spring training opener. Bautista played center in the Caribbean Series this month and has played 133 games in the outfield, 65 in center, during his five major league seasons.

The only Blue Jays regulars scheduled to start Wednesday are right fielder Alex Rios, shortstop John McDonald, catcher Rod Barajas, second baseman Aaron Hill and left fielder Travis Snider.
