Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Wilker Reyes is a right fielder for the Toronto Blue Jays who was placed on the 10-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. He returned from a previous 33-day absence due to a right ankle sprain and played in one game on May 9, 2026, where he made an impressive 101.2 mph throw to cut down a runner at home. However, he developed right elbow swelling and inflammation following that game. An MRI ruled out structural ligament damage or loose bodies. He received a cortisone shot and is expected to resume baseball activities within days, with hopes of returning to the roster within the 10-day IL minimum window next week.
