| December 19, 2006 With Vernon Wells nailed down long term, rumors have been swirling that the Blue Jays are looking to deal Alex Rios for pitching help, according to the Globe and Mail. "There's a lot of interest in Rios," GM J.P. Ricciardi said Monday. "We'd be crazy not to explore all avenues but that doesn't mean we're trading him. The Jays have been linked to the Dodgers, A's and Mets as possible trade partners. |
| September 19, 2006 Alex Rios was in the starting lineup for the Blue Jays on Tuesday for the first time in 10 games. Rios, who has been out with a bone bruise on his right hand, was 2-for-3 with a walk and an RBI. |
| September 19, 2006 Alex Rios, who hasn't started the last nine games due to a bone bruise on his right hand, is starting to feel better, according to the Toronto Sun. "He's just starting to feel good now," manager John Gibbons said. "We'll get him back in there." Rios did pinch-but on Monday night but struck out. |
| September 18, 2006 Alex Rios did not start on Monday for the ninth straight game because of a bone bruise on his right hand, according to the AP. He's made a number of appearances as a defensive replacement over that span and is close to returning. |

"It's getting better," said manager John Gibbons, who added that he wasn't sure whether or not Rios would be able to play during the three-game series in Seattle. |
| July 29, 2006 Alexis Rios, who missed 26 games with a staph infection, said he was probably five pounds lighter than his playing weight before the injury, according to the Toronto Sun. However, he returned from the DL on Friday and went 2-for-4 with two RBI. |
| July 28, 2006 The Blue Jays activated Alexis Rios on Friday, according to the AP. Rios had been sidelined since June 27 with a staph infection in his left leg. |
| July 27, 2006 The final rehab game of Alexis Rios was postponed due to rain, according to the AP. However, he took swings in the cage and was still scheduled to leave Friday morning to rejoin the Blue Jays in time to play in the second game of the four-game series against the A's. Rios has been out since late last month with a staph infection in his lower left leg. |
| July 27, 2006 Alexis Rios will need at least one more rehab game prior to returning to the Blue Jays, according to the Toronto Sun. Rios, who has been sidelined with a staph infection in his left leg, played right field for Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday for the first time since going on a rehab assignment. |
| July 26, 2006 Alexis Rios could return to the Blue Jays this weekend, according to the official team website. However Toronto personnel have to examine Rios again before the decision is made. Rios, who was supposed to start in the field, had a single and a walk as the designated hitter for Triple-A Syracuse in his second rehab game on Tuesday. |
| July 25, 2006 Though it has been reported that Alexis Rios could return to the Blue Jays as early as Thursday, that won't necessarily happen, according to the official team website. "He's been out about a month now. We have to make sure he's good and ready. He was so good for us early," said manager John Gibbons. "There's no use in panicking to get a guy back if he's not ready. It's just going to be that much tougher up here. Hopefully, by the end of the road trip (Aug. 3), we get him back." |
| July 25, 2006 In his first rehab game for Triple-A Syracuse, Alexis Rios went 1-for-3 as the designated hitter, according to the AP. Rios, who has been sidelined with a staph infection in his left leg, could return to the Blue Jays as early as Thursday. |
| July 23, 2006 Alexis Rios will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Syracuse on Monday and could rejoin the Blue Jays as early as Thursday, according to the AP.

| July 18, 2006 Alexis Rios took batting practice on Tuesday for the first time since suffering an infection in is lower left leg in late June, according to the AP. "He looked good.

Gibbons said Rios has to get the stitches out and prove he can run the bases before they send him on a rehab assignment in the minors. |
| July 17, 2006 Alexis Rios is not expected to return to action for another 10-14 days, according to the Toronto Sun. He was released from a hospital Friday after receiving treatment for a staph infection in his left leg. |
| July 14, 2006 Alex Rios will be sidelined for at least another ten days, according to the AP. Rios, who is out of action with an infected left leg, had a second surgical procedure to drain fluid from the infected area, and that is what is delaying his return. |
| July 14, 2006 Alexis Rios is rehabbing from his leg infection with the Blue Jays, though it's not clear when he will be activated from the disabled list, according to the Toronto Sun. "It's still really hard to say," manager John Gibbons said. "The way he looks now I'd say he's at least a week away from going out on a rehab assignment and getting into some games." |
| July 7, 2006 Alexis Rios was released Friday from the hospital, according to the AP. He went on the DL on June 28 with a staph infection in his left leg. |
| July 5, 2006 The Blue Jays confirmed yesterday that Alexis Rios has a staph infection in his left leg, according to the Toronto Star.

| July 3, 2006 Alexis Rios remained hospitalized on Monday with a staph infection in his leg, according to the AP. The Blue Jays expect him back immediately after the All Star break. |
| July 1, 2006 The Blue Jays placed Alexis Rios on the 15-day disabled list after Saturday's game, according to the AP. It is unknown how long Rios, who has an infection in his left leg, will be out of action. |
| July 1, 2006 Alexis Rios, who is dealing with an infection in his lower left leg, may be out of action through the All-Star break, according to the AP. Eric Hinske filled in for Rios on Friday, batted leadoff and starting in right field. |
| June 30, 2006 There is currently no timetable for the return of Alexis Rios, who was hospitalized Thursday with an infection in his lower left leg, according to the Toronto Sun. However, manager John Gibbons said it's "far too early" for the team to consider placing him on the disabled list. |
| June 29, 2006 Alexis Rios was hospitalized Thursday and expected to remain overnight to receive treatment on a bad infection in his lower left leg, according to the AP. He fouled a ball off his leg during Tuesday's game against the Nationals. The area swelled and he sat out Wednesday's game as a precaution. But the pain in his leg got worse Thursday, so the team sent him to the hospital. "Rios isn't doing too good," Toronto manager John Gibbons said. "They're going to keep him overnight to see how it develops." |
| June 28, 2006 Alexis Rios missed Wednesday's game after fouling a ball off his shin on Tuesday night, according to the AP. "It ballooned up on him pretty good," said manager John Gibbons. "We'll let him stay off it." Rios is considered day-to-day. |
| March 23, 2006 According to the Blue Jays web site, the team had its regular lineup on the field for the first time this spring on Wednesday. In that game, Eric Hinske was the starting right fielder and Alexis Rios came off the bench. In all likelihood, Rios will see plenty of action against left-handed pitching and as a backup at all three outfield positions, but he appears out of the starting lineup for now. |
