Manager Charlie Montoyo said Julian Merryweather (oblique) should be able to play catch by the end of the week, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports. (Scott Mitchell on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

This is encouraging news for Merryweather who suffered a left oblique strain on Tuesday. The 28-year-old was never a likely candidate to be included on the Blue Jays' season-opening roster, and the timing of the injury likely means he won't be ready for the start of the season.
