Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays' latest stumble against the Chicago Cubs was overshadowed by the concerning exit of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. due to a back issue, which could have serious implications for a roster already feeling the strain of injuries. Kevin Gausman's disappointing outing added to the frustration, as his struggles raised eyebrows among fans hoping for a strong performance. On a brighter note, Dylan Cease continues to impress, further solidifying his candidacy for the All-Star game with another stellar showing against Boston. Meanwhile, the return of Lazaro Estrada from the injured list provides a glimmer of hope, but as Santiago Espinal heads to free agency, it’s clear that the team is in a state of flux, testing their depth and resilience amidst a lukewarm 37-38 record.

That Was Awful
Blue Jays Little Cubs Lots As well as being a terrible baseball game, Vlad Guerrero left the game with a back issue after a swing. They are saying he will play tomorrow, but I wouldn’t bet on it. There are games like this, but I really didn’t expect it from Kevin Gausman. Kevin had four […]

Blue Jays @ Cubs Game Thread
One day I’d like to go to Wrigley Field. There is pregame news, Brendan Little is back, because we can’t have too many Brendans, Braydons, Brandons and all. He has walked few of late, just 2 in his last seven appearances, totally 7.2 innings. They won’t be happy until every player on the 26 man […]

Santiago Espinal becomes free agent after clearing waivers
A few days after being designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers, infielder Santiago Espinal is heading to the open market after electing free agency on Thursday, per Major League Baseball’s transaction log.

Rehabbing Jake Bloss allows two runs over four innings in first Triple-A start of 2026
Jake Bloss continues to take positive strides forward while in the home stretch of his recovery from Tommy John surgery. The Toronto Blue Jays’ pitching prospect — now 13 months removed from undergoing season-ending surgery in May 2025 — was back on a mound at Triple-A on Thursday for the first time since hitting the…

Dylan Cease just solidified his spot in the 2026 All-Star game by stifling Red Sox lineup
Dylan Cease is an All-Star. While the rosters won't be announced for a little while, there is no doubt that the right-hander should be representing the Toronto Blue Jays at the mid-summer classic.

Blue Jays To Reinstate Lazaro Estrada From 60-Day Injured List
The Blue Jays will reinstate right-hander Lazaro Estrada from the 60-day injured list, reports Francys Romero. Toronto has a couple openings on the 40-man roster after recently designating Yariel Rodríguez and Connor Seabold for assignment. Estrada also has a couple options remaining, so the Jays wouldn’t need any corresponding moves if they simply keep him in Triple-A on […]
