Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays suffered a disappointing 3-2 walk-off loss against the Detroit Tigers, bringing their record to 19-25 as they continue to struggle offensively, managing just five hits on the day. Despite a quality start from Trey Yesavage, the team failed to capitalize on scoring opportunities against a shaky Tigers bullpen. Injuries continue to plague the roster, with key players like José Berríos sidelined and the overall depth being tested as they navigate a challenging season. Meanwhile, Myles Straw has emerged as a bright spot, showing promise in an otherwise stagnant lineup. As the team heads into the Victoria Day weekend series against Detroit, fans are left wondering if this underperforming squad can turn it around or if they will sink further into mediocrity.

Jays Walked Off by Tigers, 3-2
Well, after a dramatic walk off victory on Wednesday we get a crushing walk off loss. Jeff Hoffman takes the L, but actually wasn’t really bad. The bigger problem was managing just five hits and two walks off a pretty bad bullpen in a game where the expected bulk guy was knocked out after two […]

Game #44 GameThread: Jays @ Tigers
I’m happy to have a series that’s not against the Rays. And it is on Apple TV. Stupid MLB. I’ve been to Comerica Park once, for one game. We’d gone to Lansing to watch the Lugnuts and the Tigers had a day game, while the Lugnuts were playing in the evening. So there was time […]

Blue Jays Gameday (May 15): Toronto kicks off Victoria Day weekend with series against Tigers
The Toronto Blue Jays park the bus at Comerica Park this weekend after a pretty ugly homestand. Over six games, the Jays won twice, but lost four games, with both series featuring a lot of the same questions that have followed this team around all season. But they left Rogers Centre on Wednesday night with…

Blue Jays Notes: Berríos, Kirk, Barger
Among the many Blue Jays starters currently on the injured list, José Berríos‘ health situation might be the most perplexing at the moment. Berríos suffered a stress fracture in his throwing elbow during intake physicals for the World Baseball Classic, and that injury flared up again during a minor league rehab stint. Although an update […]

Myles Straw’s 2027 Club Option Is Looking Like an Easy Choice
On a 2026 Toronto Blue Jays roster that’s largely underperforming expectations, outfielder Myles Straw is appearing to be a bright spot in an otherwise stagnant lineup. Offensively, Toronto has had issues putting together rallies and scoring high run totals, so they’ve found themselves with a record of 19-24 through their first 43 games. With underwhelming […] The post Myles Straw’s 2027 Club Option Is Looking Like an Easy Choice appeared first on Just Baseball.
