David Cooper will not report to Blue Jays' camp due to a back issue.
Cooper ended last season on the disabled list with a back problem, and evidently a winter of rest wasn't enough to heal. The first baseman is consulting with specialists before the next step is determined. Cooper batted .300 with a .788 OPS in 45 games last season for Toronto and would have been in line to compete for a bench job, but obviously that won't happen now.
