last night's win

Comfortable territory. A 7-run win last night helps the cause. Tempering that, a 11-man IL is starting to matter.

Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays cruised to an 8-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox, with Eric Lauer managing to survive a shaky outing, allowing just one run in 4.1 innings despite giving up five hits. This win not only showcased Andrés Giménez's contributions but also highlighted the urgency for Lauer to prove his worth in the rotation, especially with José Berríos on the horizon for a return. Meanwhile, George Springer made his way back onto the roster, sparking questions about his absence from the lineup today. In a surprising move, the Jays designated Eloy Jiménez for assignment, further illustrating the team's struggle with injuries, as 12 players remain on the IL. As the Blue Jays prepare for a four-game stint against the Twins, this rollercoaster of a week leaves fans feeling lukewarm about the team's depth and future.

Red Sox 1 Blue Jays 8 That turned into a surprisingly comfortable win. I didn’t think Eric Lauer looked great today, lots of deep fly balls finding gloves, but he only allowed one run in his 4.1 innings, on a Willson (who puts two L’s in Wilson?) Contreras home run. He gave up 5 hits, […]

Game #30 GameThread: Red Sox @ Jays
So we have an afternoon game. Game three of Three with the Red Sox. Then the Jays fly off to Minnesota to play the Twins for four games. George Springer is back, but not in the lineup. That seems strange to me. Why put him on the roster if he isn’t going to play? Jays, […]

Potential Blue Jays trade deadline target just suffered tough injury setback
If there's one clear truth about the Toronto Blue Jays in 2026 it's that anyone associated with them has a significant chance of getting injured. Even those who are just loosely connected with the team are feeling the sting of the injury bug.
 This could be Eric Lauer's last chance to prove he belongs in the rotation this season

This could be Eric Lauer's last chance to prove he belongs in the rotation this season
With Trey Yesavage back in the fold and José Berrios eyeing a return to Toronto in the near future, Eric Lauer has one final chance to stake his claim to a spot in the Blue Jays' rotation.

Blue Jays Designate Eloy Jiménez For Assignment
The Blue Jays have reinstated outfielder/designated hitter George Springer from the 10-day injured list. In a corresponding move, designated hitter Eloy Jiménez has been designated for assignment. Hazel Mae of Sportsnet was first to report the moves. It’s the inverse of a transaction from a couple of weeks ago. Springer fractured a bone in his […]
