Devon Travis (shoulder) will get some at-bats Friday during an extended spring game and will need a full spring training's worth of games before returning to the Blue Jays, Barry Davis of Sportsnet reports.

Analysis:

There is no set return date yet for Travis but he says "he feels great." He had been battling a nagging shoulder injury for most of last season, warranting a couple stints on the DL before having surgery on it in September and hasn't returned since. The 25-year-old second baseman is slowly working his way back into the fold, as the Blue Jays have not yet set a target date for his rehab assignment in the minors. Ryan Goins is currently starting at second base, but Travis will have a good shot at taking over the starting role once he returns. His return will also signal a change in Darwin Barney's role from a spot starter at second base to a backup utility man.
