Top Blue Jays News

  • Blue Jays' Myles Straw: Riding pine Saturday

    Straw isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    Straw will move to the bench for the third time in four games despite going 6-for-18 since the beginning of September. Rudy Martin will start in left field and bat ninth.

  • Blue Jays' Ernie Clement: Sitting Saturday

    Clement isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against Baltimore.

    Clement will take a seat Saturday after going 3-for-15 with two runs scored while starting each of Toronto's last four games. Josh Smith will pick up a start at second base as a result and bat seventh.

  • Blue Jays' Spencer Arrighetti: Preparing for bulk role Saturday

    Arrighetti is slated to pitch in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Spencer Miles in Saturday's game against the Orioles in Toronto, Patrick Ho of the Toronto Star reports.

    Since being acquired from the Astros at the trade deadline, Arrighetti has gone 0-4 with an 8.04 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 6.8 K-BB% over 15.2 innings across four appearances (two starts) for the Blue Jays. Toronto is hoping to coax better results from Arrighetti by having him enter after Miles covers the first few innings of Saturday's contest, but Arrighetti's recent form makes him far from a dependable streaming option.

  • Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Opening Saturday's game

    Miles will serve as the Blue Jays' opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Miles has pitched 13 consecutive shutout innings, so the Blue Jays will trust him to lock down the first inning or two of Saturday's contest before turning the game over to a bulk reliever. Spencer Arrighetti is the most likely candidate to cover multiple frames once Miles exits the contest.

  • Blue Jays' Kazuma Okamoto: Goes deep again

    Okamoto went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run during the Blue Jays' 7-4 loss to the Orioles on Friday.

    Okamoto put the Blue Jays on the board in the fourth inning with a solo home run off Chris Bassitt. Okamoto has gone deep in three of his last four games and is up to 31 homers on the year, which is tied for 10th-most in the majors. The 30-year-old's power at the plate in his first MLB season has been a big reason why the Blue Jays are still in playoff contention, especially given Vladimir Guerrero's struggles.

  • Blue Jays' Brett Bateman: Smacks first major-league homer

    Bateman went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run during Toronto's 7-4 loss to Baltimore on Friday.

    It was another disappointing loss for a Blue Jays team looking to sneak into the playoffs, but Bateman gave the home fans something to cheer for with a two-run homer in the ninth inning to make the score look more respectable. It was the first major-league home run of Bateman's career and only his seventh homer at any level since being selected by the Cubs in the eighth round of the 2023 MLB Draft. The 24-year-old outfielder has an .826 OPS with three steals, nine RBI and seven extra-base hits across 134 plate appearances this season.

  • Blue Jays' Max Scherzer: Rocked for six runs in loss

    Scherzer (2-8) took the loss against the Orioles on Friday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three across five innings.

    Scherzer fell behind early by giving up a leadoff homer to Dylan Beavers in the first inning before allowing five more runs in the second. Scherzer kept the Orioles off the board over his final three innings, and while it wasn't the outing the veteran right-hander was hoping for, he was at least able complete five innings and preserve the Blue Jays' bullpen for the next couple of days. He's given up at least five earned runs five times this season and has a 6.38 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 67.2 innings. He's lined up to face the Tigers at home next week.

  • Blue Jays' Trey Yesavage: Ramping up throwing program

    Yesavage (knee) threw a 30-pitch bullpen Thursday and is scheduled for another session in Toronto on Sunday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    If all goes well Sunday, Yesavage could make a rehab outing with Triple-A Buffalo and return to the majors for the final week of the regular season. The 23-year-old right-hander continues to recover from meniscus surgery that he underwent Aug. 11, and his return would be a welcome one for the Blue Jays considering both Shane Bieber (shoulder) and Jameson Taillon (elbow) are on the IL. In addition, Spencer Arrighetti has struggled since being acquired by Toronto from Houston in early August.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Needs more rehab games

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Friday that Santander (shoulder) will remain on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Buffalo through the middle of next week, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    That means he'll stay with Buffalo through the end of the Blue Jays' homestand. Santander could conceivably be activated after that for the start of Toronto's road trip, though nothing is set in stone. He's coming back from February left shoulder surgery.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Back in lineup Friday

    Springer (shoulder) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Friday's contest against the Orioles.

    Springer has been slowed this week by a nagging left shoulder issue, but he appeared off the bench in the Blue Jays' last game Wednesday and is back in the lineup for the series opener versus Baltimore.

  • Blue Jays' Jesus Sanchez: Loses spot on 40-man roster

    The Blue Jays designated Sanchez for assignment Friday, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

    Sanchez was slashing .287/.324/.461 at the end of May, but he's managed just a .216/.308/.343 line since then while making a number of defensive gaffes, and he had started only three of the past 11 contests. His spot on the roster has been filled by Rudy Martin. With a $6.8 million salary, Sanchez is likely to clear waivers.

  • Blue Jays' Rudy Martin: Called up by Blue Jays

    The Blue Jays selected Martin's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Martin is receiving his first ever promotion to the big leagues after spending 12 years in the minors. The 30-year-old was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays in July, removed from the 40-man roster in August and has now made his way back onto the roster. It's a nice story of perseverance, but Martin isn't likely to play much down the stretch.

  • Blue Jays' Anthony Santander: Hitless to begin rehab stint

    Santander (shoulder) went 0-for-4 with one strikeout for Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

    It was the first game action of the season for Santander, who got the start at DH and hit third for the Bisons. The 31-year-old still has a chance to contribute for the Blue Jays before the end of the regular season if he can shake off enough rust, and Santander's timeline could be accelerated if the shoulder issue George Springer is playing through proves to be more serious than the team anticipates. Santander's brief Toronto tenure has been marred by shoulder trouble that led to surgery in February, but he's still just two years removed from a 44-homer campaign with Baltimore.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Used as pinch hitter Wednesday

    Springer (shoulder) pinch hit for Nathan Lukes and flew out in the eighth inning of Wednesday's loss to the A's.

    The 36-year-old outfielder has been held out of the starting nine the last two games due to a left shoulder issue, but Wednesday's usage is a good sign the Blue Jays don't think he'll need an IL stint. Springer has had a tough season overall due to various injuries, but over the 14 games prior to his shutdown he'd delivered a .333/.370/.569 slash line with six doubles, two homers, two steals, eight runs and eight RBI.

  • Blue Jays' Michael Lorenzen: Takes loss in relief Wednesday

    Lorenzen (3-12) took the loss Wednesday, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over 2.2 innings of relief as the Blue Jays were downed 2-0 by the A's. He struck out two.

    In a rare low-scoring affair at Sutter Health Park, the veteran righty was the only hurler to struggle in a bullpen day for Toronto. Taking the mound to begin the second inning after opener Braydon Fisher breezed through the first frame, Lorenzen blanked the home side in the second before serving up a solo shot to Henry Bolte in the third and bringing home Tommy White in the fourth on a wild pitch. Injuries have left the Jays without a fifth starter as they try to squeak into the final wild-card spot in the AL, but Lorenzen doesn't appear to be any sort of solution, even in a bulk relief role. Over four appearances and 8.2 innings for Toronto, he's served up three long balls and has stumbled to a 6.23 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 6:2 K:BB.

  • Blue Jays' George Springer: Out with nagging shoulder issue

    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that Springer is not in Wednesday's lineup versus the Athletics due to a nagging left shoulder and other bumps and bruises, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports.

    It's the second straight day Springer has been held out and the fourth time over the last seven contests that he's been absent from the Toronto lineup. Springer is available off the bench Wednesday and there's a good chance he'll be back in the Blue Jays' lineup Friday when they return home to host the Orioles. Alejandro Kirk is getting a day at designated hitter Wednesday.
