TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays activated slugger Anthony Santander off the 60-day injured list Tuesday, and former All-Star right-hander and 2022 AL Cy Young finalist Alek Manoah was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

Toronto put first baseman Ty France on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Monday, because of left oblique inflammation.

Santander signed a $92.5 million, five-year contract with Toronto in the offseason but is batting .179 with six homers in 50 games. He’s been out since May 29 because of a left shoulder injury, and he rejoins the playoff-bound Blue Jays for the final week of the regular season as they try to wrap up the AL East title. Toronto had the best record in the American League at 90-66 entering Tuesday night's game against Boston.
