| November 11, 2004 The Blue Jays may keep Miguel Batista as their closer next season if they're confident in their starting rotation, according to the team's official web site. GM J.P. Ricciardi said "If we think Gustavo Chacin can pitch in that role (as a starter), we may keep Batista as the closer." |
| September 18, 2004 Miguel Batista picked up his first save Saturday since being moved out of the Blue Jays' starting rotation. Being tried out now for next year's closing job, Batista allowed a hit, a walk and no runs, while striking out two batters. |
| September 17, 2004 Miguel Batista is being moved from the starting rotation to the closer's role for the last two weeks of the season in a tryout for next year, according to the AP. "We know what he can do as starter," Blue Jays interim manager John Gibbons said. "It's a little experiment. We'll see what happens." |
| August 12, 2004 Miguel Batista is expected to make his scheduled start Friday despite complaining about a sore back earlier this week, according to MLB.com. "He's fine," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "It's not a big enough problem that anybody's too worried." |
| August 11, 2004 Miguel Batista left Sunday's start with a sore back, according to the Toronto Sun. He said he was 80 percent better yesterday, though he planned to visit a chiropractor anyway. |
| June 27, 2004 Miguel Batista was able to throw seven innings yesterday despite being bothered by a broken blister on his right index finger, according to the Toronto Sun. "In the first inning it didn't feel good, it was burning me but after the second inning it started feeling better and better. Then after that I couldn't feel my finger," he said. |
| June 22, 2004 The Blue Jays have mentioned Miguel Batista in trade talks, according to the Toronto Sun. It's unclear if they are serious about moving him or if they are simply trying to gauge his value. |
| May 22, 2004 The Toronto Star is suggesting that the Blue Jays convert Miguel Batista into a closer next season. There's been no indication that the team would seriously consider the idea, though Batista did say he would be willing to do so, and pitching coach Gil Patterson added that Batista's arm is able to rebound quickly to pitch relief. |
| April 16, 2004 The AP reports that Miguel Batista will get an extra day of rest next week and will start on Thursday instead of Wednesday. |
| April 7, 2004 The Toronto Star reports that Miguel Batista was suffering yesterday from a slight recurrence of the blister problem that bothered him during spring training. |
