Thank you.

John Axford, Jay's Talk Plus will continue for a second hour.

Ryan Dempster and David Adler join us.

Ryan Dempster, next, as Jay's Talk Plus continues on the Sportsnet Radio Network.

Welcome back to Jay's Talk Plus.

Blake Murphy with you.

I mentioned briefly with John Axford there that Jimmy Garcia is back in Toronto getting checked out further and his next steps are TBD.

As far as other updates go, Max Scherzer threw a bullpen session yesterday and was said to be feeling better.

Leneen Sosa got into a rehab game in the FCL yesterday.

He, of course, went 0 for 3 and only took 5 points.

pitches for three at-bats if the FCL pitch tracking is to be believed.

And Addison Barger is hoping to get into rehab games Thursday.

So while Barger was ahead of Sosa initially, Sosa is in games before him.

It's nice to not have to do a Shane Bieber update here because Shane Bieber is

is making his 2026 debut tonight.

Ryan Dempster is a guy who came back pretty quickly from a Tommy John and looked pretty good.

Let's see how he's doing today.

Wow, what a background.

Ryan, how are you doing, man?
