The Toronto Blue Jays got some great news for their bullpen this morning as it looks like Erik Swanson's recovery is going very well as he is expected back pretty soon.
The Blue Jays have been dealing with quite a few injuries so far this season especially with their pitchers as they currently have Max Scherzer, Erik Swanson and Ryan Burr all out.

Swanson has been out with an elbow injury since Spring Training and according to reports he is finally progressing in his recovery as he is expected to throw a sim game in Dunedin tomorrow.
If all goes well with the sim game, Swanson will likely pitch in a game a few days later with the Dunedin Blue Jays followed by a rehab assignment in Buffalo before return to the Blue Jays.

Good news in the bullpen: Erik Swanson will throw a sim game tomorrow, then likely move into a rehab assignment.
Let's loosely call that «a couple weeks away» if all goes well. A healthy Swanson will be a major addition to this bullpen. #BlueJays

The Blue Jays bullpen has been quite solid so far this season but adding Swanson back into the mix will definitely only help the team if he is able to put up the same numbers he from 2023.
Last season Swanson struggled finishing with a 5.03 ERA in 39.1 innings pitched but the Blue Jays are hoping that he will return to how he was pitching in 2022 when he finished with a 2.97 ERA.
