McGowan could be set for September 1st call-up

DUNEDIN, Fla.–Toronto Blue Jays RHP Dustin McGowan (shoulder) threw three solid innings in a simulated Saturday against Blue Jay Gulf Coast League hitters.  McGowan threw 51-pitches with a consistant 95 MPH fastball.  Toronto has shut down McGowan’s 30-day rehab assignment with Class-A Dunedin now they can keep him on the 60-day DL, have him pitch every five days then bring him up when the rosters are expanded September 1.  McGowan last pitched in the majors on July 8 2008 and has now been on the DL for 1117 calendar days and has acquired over half his major league pension time on the DL.
