Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Tuesday that Lind (foot) may start a minor league rehab assignment later this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

A specific date for Lind to commence his assignment still has not been set, suggesting a return this week is unlikely, but Gibbons did not rule out a weekend return. It seems more realistic to think Lind will return next week in Seattle after completing an assignment over the weekend.

Lind (foot) could start a rehab assignment next week, Sportsnet reports.

Lind's recovery is moving along quickly, and he's on pace to begin a rehab stint early-to-mid next week. It would likely be a short assignment, as the Jays need him back in Toronto as soon as possible.

Adam Lind (foot) could be activated from the disabled list as soon as Thursday.

However, the Blue Jays could decide to wait until they begin a homestand on August 5. "He's running, he's still a little bit hobbled, but he's able to do a bit of everything," manager John Gibbons said of Lind, who has been sidelined since early July with a non-displaced fracture in his right foot.

Adam Lind (foot) is scheduled to take batting practice in Florida on Tuesday.

Lind landed on the disabled list earlier this month with a non-displaced fracture in his right foot. After receiving a second opinion, it was estimated that he could return in about 2-3 weeks, so there's a chance he'll be back in the Jays' lineup in early August if he can avoid setbacks.

Adam Lind (foot) is expected to return in 2-3 weeks after undergoing a second opinion.

Lind was initially expected to be sidelined 6-8 weeks, so obviously this is great news. He'll wear a walking boot on his fractured right foot for the next 5-7 days before then beginning his rehab. Dan Johnson has replaced Lind on the roster.

Lind played in games as recently as Monday, but an MRI revealed the fracture after the first basemen felt some discomfort in the foot.

Lind is batting a robust .377/.442/.582 against righties this season but has just two hits in 28 at-bats against lefties.

Gillespie, who was claimed off waivers on Saturday, is a career .230/.295/.329 hitter over 270 plate appearances.

Adam Lind is not in the Blue Jays lineup on Saturday against the White Sox.

Lind is currently dealing with a bone bruise in his right foot, but the Blue Jays are trying to hold off on a decision about the disabled list. Edwin Encarnacion will play first base Thursday while Dioner Navarro serves at the DH and Erik Kratz catches Drew Hutchison.

A CT scan has confirmed that Adam Lind has a bone bruise on his right foot.

Lind was spotted with a walking boot on his right foot Sunday, but he's avoided a fracture. Consider the designated hitter day-to-day.

X-rays Saturday on Lind's foot came back negative, but he could undergo further testing to see if anything else is wrong. Obviously, at the very least he's not going to be available Sunday. The Blue Jays should provide an update on his status before long.

It's the first time in Lind's career that he's scored four times in a game. In fact, he hadn't even scored three times in a game since April 26, 2011. The three hits raised his average to a surprising .351. Sitting out against lefties has paid off for him after so many attempts to use him as a full-time player in spite of his limitations.
