notes from the DL

Tuesday night in Buffalo, Jay Happ continued his comeback with a 4-inning, 60-pitch outing against Columbus,  Happ allowed a run on 3 hits and 2 walks, striking out 3 in the Bisons' 4-1 win over the Clippers.  The Blue Jays say he will need at least 1 more rehab start before being activated and returning to the big team.

Travis d'Arnaud will begin a rehab assignment today with the GCL Mets, playing for the first time since April 17 when he fractured the metatarsil bone in his foot.  New York still hopes to call him up before the end of the season......... Gavin Floyd will not begin to throw for about another 4 weeks, but said over the weekend that he is getting the range of motion back in his injured shoulder. The White Sox hope to get him an appearance or 2 before the end of  this year.
