Description: Toronto starter Josh Johnson has a 5.40 ERA and a 1.64 WHIP in 31 2/3 innings this season. | Insight: Johnson spent all of May on the disabled list with a triceps injury. He's clearly no longer the pitcher he was from 2009-11, when he went 29-12 with a 2.64 ERA and a 1.11 WHIP in 70 starts; now he'll have to prove if he can even be as good as he was in 2012 (8-14, 3.81 ERA, 1.28 WHIP). If he doesn't improve by the All-Star break, fantasy owners can move on. | | |

Description: The Blue Jays' goal for Josh Johnson (triceps) will need one more long-toss session after Tuesday before he gets back on a mound, according to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca. | Insight: Johnson is dealing with inflammation in his triceps. He long tossed Tuesday and could go out on a minor league rehab assignment if he feels good following his second session.

Description: Blue Jays starter Josh Johnson bounced back from the shortest outing of his career with seven strong innings Tuesday against the White Sox. | Insight: Johnson gave up seven hits and six runs in 1 1/3 innings his last time out and 16 hits over his first two starts, but he held Chicago to four hits and three runs, walked two and struck out eight Tuesday night. | | |

Description: Blue Jays starter Josh Johnson gave up seven hits, two walks and six earned in just 1 1/3 innings Thursday against Detroit. | Insight: It was the shortest outing of his career. Johnson has allowed 16 hits in 7 1/3 innings through two starts and is clearly no longer the dominating presence he was back in 2009, 2010 and 2011. However, remember that he started off last season by allowing 47 hits and 23 runs in his first 31 1/3 innings (6.61 ERA), but gave up 133 hits and 58 runs in 160 innings (3.26 ERA) the rest of the way. | | |

SOURCE: Ken Rosenthal, FoxSports.com | Insight: Johnson had an up-and-down season amid trade rumors in 2012, going 8-14 with a 3.81 ERA and 165 strikeouts in 191 1/3 innings. While a power pitcher like Johnson can certainly succeed in going from the National League to the American League, his performance may hinge on whether or not he can reverse the decline of his average fastball velocity. | | |

Description: Miami starter Josh Johnson will not make his scheduled start Monday versus New York. | Insight: The Marlins have already been eliminated from the postseason so this upcoming series against the Mets essentially means nothing.
