DUNEDIN, FLA.—The Blue Jays continued to send positive signs with their roster in a 3-1 win Monday over Atlanta.

Toronto’s spring training record improved to 5-1 with the win, and for now, there’s a good feeling about all aspects of the club’s game. R.A. Dickey led the way Monday, giving up just one hit over three shutout innings, and five Jays pitchers combined on an eight-hitter against the Braves.

Here is a look at five developments in the Jays camp as the Grapefruit League enters its second week:

Power surge

Michael Saunders is a must-watch in batting practice. You are guaranteed to see several balls not only clear the right-field fence, but clear the two-storey executive offices directly behind it as well. The Canadian-born left-fielder slammed two homers in his first pre-season game after missing almost all of 2015 with a knee injury he suffered on the first day of spring training. He added another tape-measure job Monday, and that has some envisioning 20-plus homers for Saunders in the regular season. Saunders once hit 19 homers, in 2012 with Seattle, in 553 plate appearances.

Encouraging news

Devon Travis, whose excellent start to the 2015 season was derailed by a shoulder injury, was told by his surgeon over the weekend that he could move to “the next step” in his rehab. That step is still unclear. The second baseman and the Jays refuse to rush his rehab from acromiale surgery, which corrected a rare condition that saw four parts of the acromion — a bone at the top of the shoulder — fail to fuse together. It’s hoped that Travis can start swinging a bat as early as this week. He said he has all but fully recovered his strength and range of motion.

New pitches

Marcus Stroman and Aaron Sanchez are very close friends, so it’s no surprise they both unveiled new twists in their repertoires. Stroman, the projected opening day starter, has introduced a “quick pitch” to his approach. It’s more like a slide step out of the stretch, and much like the change of rhythm Giants starter Johnny Cueto offers with his varied windups and deliveries. Sanchez has added a changeup to his arsenal. On Monday, he gave up a run and five hits over three innings. He is still considered the front-runner for the fifth starter’s spot, ahead of Drew Hutchison, Gavin Floyd and Jesse Chavez.

Blue-chip prospect

Conner Greene, taken in the seventh round of the 2013 draft, hit 98 m.p.h. on his first outing of the spring over the weekend. The 20-year-old Santa Monica, Calif., native, who is friends with Charlie Sheen and has appeared on the actor’s Anger Management TV series, has shown the kind of velocity and “stuff” that has everyone in camp talking. The Jays, under president Mark Shapiro and GM Ross Atkins, are expected to refrain from putting high-end prospects on a quick curve to the big leagues. Greene, the Jays’ top pitching prospect, is expected to start at Double-A and potentially rise to Triple-A Buffalo later in the summer.

Cecil returns

Brett Cecil threw Monday and had an excellent curve ball over his one inning of work. Cecil was making his first appearance since a calf injury sidelined him in the American League Division Series with Texas. Ever since then, there had been a question mark over whether he would return to the excellent form he showed in his final 33 innings of 2015, when he didn’t allow a run and struck out 44 batters. “I just wanted to feel good with my leg, get into a game situation and not feel anything with the leg,” Cecil said. “That was the case. I didn’t care about the results, I just wanted to feel nothing with the leg.”
