| Blue Jays Team Report (Yahoo! Sports) |
| <p>The Blue Jays still haven't given up hope that Dustin McGowan, who missed all of 2009 because of shoulder and knee surgery, will be ready by the start of the season.</p>
<p>"It's too early to tell, but there is a scenario that he could (be with the team opening day)," general manager Alex Anthopoulos said. "If he continues to progress well, potentially he could work his way to being a starter for us, but we have to see how he does, how deep he gets into (spring training) games.</p>
<p>"But the opening-day date is not something that we've targeted specifically. It's more when his arm is ready to go. We're not in a rush."</p>
<p>It's doubtful, though not impossible, that McGowan would be ready by the date of the opener, April 5. |

| Drabek pitches well for Blue Jays in loss to Phils (AP) |
| Kyle Drabek, the pitcher the Toronto Blue Jays coveted and finally got in the trade that sent ace Roy Halladay to Philadelphia, tried to treat Wednesday's start against the Phillies like any other game. It was good advice from his father, 1990 National League Cy Young Award winner Doug Drabek. The result: two scoreless innings, one walk and one hit allowed in the Phillies' 4-2 victory. |

| Arencibia homers for Jays in 4-1 win over Astros (AP) |
Toronto manager Cito Gaston thinks Ricky Romero is a much improved pitcher now that he has some experience. The 25-year-old left-hander pitched three shutout innings, allowing four hits and striking out two in the Blue Jays' 4-1 win over the Houston Astros on Monday. Rivera went 13-9 in 29 starts as a rookie last season.
