Updated Mar. 26: Although GM J.P. Ricciardi still won't admit that A.J. Burnett (elbow) will need to begin the season on the disabled list, pitching coach Brad Arnsberg said there's little chance the right-hander will be ready for the first week of the season. The Toronto Sun believes Burnett will miss two to four starts. Unless the setback is any more significant than the Jays have been letting on, two starts would be sufficient. Burnett threw from 60 feet on Friday without any problems. He hasn't reported any soreness since breaking up scar tissue in his right elbow eight days ago.
