Santander opened a rehab assignment with the Buffalo Bisons, homering on his third plate appearance off Adrian Sampson as he works back from a left shoulder subluxation. Bo Bichette’s knee sprain leaves Toronto hoping Santander can provide a late-season power lift, with nine Bisons games to regain timing and a two-sided swing. Gausman praised Heineman after a complete-game shutout of Houston, underscoring the trust in Toronto’s catching depth, while Manoah’s rehab path triggers a 40-man shuffle that DFA’d Orelvis Martinez as Buffalo looms for a potential final-series call.
