It finally sounds like Jose is ready to get back in the lineup. The plan
is for him to be activated Wednesday night in Toronto.

Keep your fingers crossed...

From the St. Petersburg Times:

CANSECO PROGRESS: Jose Canseco's "day-to-day" situation finally appears to
have an end in sight. And, though Rothschild's timetable for his return is
not tomorrow, the fact that he has a timetable at all is a big step for the
designated hitter.

Canseco had a typical batting practice power display and lumbering sprints
around the bases. Rothschild said he expects Canseco, who has a strained
left heel, to be in the lineup by the end of the Atlanta series, which runs
Sunday through Tuesday, or by the beginning of Wednesday's road trip to
Toronto.

That time can't come soon enough for Canseco.

"It's beyond frustrating," said Canseco, on the disabled list since May 25.
"The frustration point was two weeks ago."

From the Tampa Tribune:

Still waiting: DH Jose Canseco (strained left heel) missed his 43rd
consecutive game Friday night, but continues to make progress. Manager
Larry Rothschild said Canseco ``ran a little better'' Friday after running
``fairly well'' the day before. So when can he expect to play again?

``It may be in the next few days, it may the beginning of the road trip,
but we need to decide that soon,'' Rothschild said.

Canseco return set: Rothschild said DH Jose Canseco (strained left heel)
``felt good'' Saturday and will be activated for the
start of the Rays' 12-game road trip Wednesday at Toronto.

``He's gotten to the point where it looks like he can get past this,''
Rothschild said.

Canseco, on the disabled list since May 25, is scheduled to run again today
and Monday, then rest Tuesday before returning.

From the St. Petersburg Times:

DATE FOR CANSECO: The Rays say they expect Jose Canseco back in the lineup
Wednesday. Canseco, out since late May with a sore left heel, has shown
improvement and resiliency in bouncing back from workouts.

"I don't want to make any assumptions," Rothschild said, "but I'm going to
presume he'll be back when we go to Toronto."

From the Sporting News:
7/16

DH Jose Canseco, on the DL with a sore left heel, is running much better
and could return July 19 in Toronto. Canseco developed a sore shoulder from
extensive hitting, but it has quieted down.
