2B Devon Travis began his extended spring training Friday by taking five like at-bats. Travis has been out since July with shoulder issues but should begin playing in the field next week. "It was like Opening Day for me, first day on the field hitting live pitching during the game," Travis said to MLB.com. "It was awesome. I feel great. I feel really good. I feel strong when I'm playing. After, it gets a little tired. But that's like anything else when you first start hitting. I feel really good, though. I come in every single day, and I haven't complained in a long time."

2B Devon Travis was placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 25. He's recovering from September 2015 left shoulder surgery.In 62 games last year, Travis hit eight homers and 35 RBIs with a .304 batting average.

2B Devon Travis (left shoulder surgery in November 2015) had an operation to correct a condition in which one of the four growth plates in the acromion bone, which extends over the shoulder joint, fails to fuse and creates an extra bone. Screws were inserted to stabilize the extra bone. The estimate was that he would be able to resume baseball activities somewhere between mid-March and mid-April. He will open the season on the disabled list.

2B Devon Travis had left shoulder surgery Tuesday, and he might miss the start of the 2016 season.The Blue Jays announced Wednesday that Travis will be sidelined from baseball activities for four to five months after a procedure for a rare pre-existing condition. The 24-year-old has Os Acromiale, which occurs when a bone at the top of the shoulder fails to fuse together. The surgery, performed Tuesday in New York by Dr. David Altchek, involved inserting screws into Travis's shoulder to stabilize the non-fused bone. Travis also had a cyst in the shoulder drained in September.As a rookie in 2015, Travis went on the disabled list twice with recurrent inflammation and was limited to 62 games in which he batted .304 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs. He won the starting job out of spring training and started with a flourish before the injury issues began.

Travis will undergo exploratory left shoulder surgery next Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports.

The procedure will formally close the door on Travis' return this season, with the Blue Jays hoping to have him back for the start of spring training in 2016. Travis was a leading candidate for AL Rookie of the Year honors after huge month of April, but injury issues compromised those efforts. The second baseman finishes the year with a .304/.361/.498 batting line to go along with eight homers, 35 RBI, and 38 runs scored.

Travis (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day DL on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.

This move likely means little to Travis, as it's more about the Toronto front office is making room for the returning Marcus Stroman (knee). It is now going to be much more difficult for Travis to return in 2015, as the Blue Jays will need to take someone off their 40-man roster to bring him back.

Travis (shoulder) received a cortisone shot last week and manager John Gibbons had no further update on his status, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet reports.

With Ryan Goins playing as well as he is of late, the need for Travis to come back is less pressing. Furthermore, it appears as if Travis may be done for the season as his shoulder has taken far longer to recover than initially expected. His stat line currently sits at .304 with eight home runs and 35 RBI in 217 at-bats. While his inability to stay on the field hampered his value, the 24-year-old is one of the most promising middle infielders and showed why when healthy.

Travis (shoulder) is behind in his rehab and is still not swinging a bat, manager John Gibbons told Shi Davidi of Sportsnet on Tuesday.

That said, Gibbons did say that he expects Travis to be back before the end of the season. Ryan Goins figures to see most of the starts at second place in Travis' absence.
