Absent from Thursday's lineup
Santander (hip) is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Padres.
Analysis
Santander was lifted from Wednesday's 14-0 win after aggravating a left hip injury. The Blue Jays haven't indicated at this point whether Santander might require a trip to the 10-day injured list, but he will need at least a day or two of rest. Daulton Varsho will get a day in the designated-hitter spot, while Myles Straw will patrol center field for the Blue Jays in Thursday's series finale.

Pulled with hip inflammation
Santander was removed from Wednesday's game against the Padres due to left hip inflammation.
Analysis
Santander's hip has been giving him problems for about a week, and he seemingly aggravated the injury during Wednesday's contest. The Jays will take a closer look at him to determine the severity of his latest flare-up, but the team could consider placing him on the IL at this point to give him the time he needs to fully move past the hip issue. For now, however, Santander should be considered day-to-day.

Goes deep as No. 6 hitter
Santander went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-0 win over the Padres.
Analysis
After being dropped to sixth in Toronto's lineup Tuesday, Santander responded by smashing his sixth homer of the year. While he's batting just .190 (12-for-63) over his last 17 games, the switch-hitting slugger does have four homers and 10 RBI during this stretch. Santander has dealt with shoulder and hip issues in the early going, so Tuesday's showing was an encouraging sign as he searches for a rhythm at the plate going forward.

Moved down to sixth in lineup
Santander is batting sixth for Tuesday's game against the Padres.
Analysis
It's the lowest Santander has batted in Toronto's lineup this season. After hitting third in each of his first 39 games with the Blue Jays, Santander was moved to fifth in the order over the weekend against the Tigers. Santander has continued to struggle and is now slashing a disappointing .182/.264/.308 with five home runs, 16 RBI, 12 runs scored, zero stolen bases and an 18:44 BB:K through 178 plate appearances for Toronto.

Good to go Sunday
Santander (hip) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Sunday against the Tigers.
Analysis
The 30-year-old sat out the previous two games due to hip soreness but is ready to go for Sunday's series finale versus Detroit. Santander was unavailable last weekend in Seattle due to a shoulder issue and played just three games before tweaking his hip. He's mostly struggled at the plate in his first 40 games with the Blue Jays and has a .187/.270/.316 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI and 12 runs.

Nursing sore hip
Santander isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Tigers due to left hip soreness, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Santander's hip reportedly began bothering him after a swing Thursday, and it helps explain why he sat out Friday's contest as well. His absence will move Vladimir Guerrero into the DH spot Saturday, putting Ernie Clement at first base and opening up second for Michael Stefanic.

Stepping out of lineup Friday
Santander is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Tigers.
Analysis
Santander went 1-for-12 with five strikeouts in the past three games after sitting out a few days due to a shoulder issue, and he'll hit the bench for Friday's series opener against the Tigers. George Springer will serve as the designated hitter while Jonatan Clase and Nathan Lukes start in the corner outfield spots.
