Criswell has been rocked for eight runs (five earned) over 4.1 innings during his time with Boston this season but has collected a 1.52 ERA while being used primarily as a starter at Worcester.

Nick Sandlin RP | TOR
Blue Jays' Nick Sandlin: Ready for rehab assignment
Sandlin (lat) reported to the Blue Jays' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.
Sandlin was given the green light to begin a rehab assignment after he tossed a live batting practice session Friday without incident. The right-hander has been on the shelf since April 20 with a right lat strain and will likely make multiple appearances in the minors before returning from the 15-day injured list. He could be ready to rejoin the Toronto bullpen around the middle of June.
