Analysis:

It sounds like there is still a chance that Bautista could be ready to play the outfield when the Jays travel to a National League ballpark for a series starting Monday. Either way, he will be able to serve as the designated hitter prior to that series against the Nationals after getting Sunday and Monday off to rest his shoulder.
