Blue Jays beat the Yankees, improving to 34-36 on the season.... unscientific but feels like this Blue Jays crowd was as energized/excited as it's been in a couple months

is it just me, or is it quite rare to have an outfield of all lefty throwers? Bellinger-Grisham-Jones for NYY tonight. Feels unusual. Not sure where to look this one up...

btw the home plate umpire for Blue Jays-Yankees tonight is John Tumpane, who has one of the best strike three calls in baseball #umpires

Other Blue Jays notes: • hope is Daulton Varsho can have a minimum IL stint • Patrick Corbin confirmed as Sunday starter

Jays could use Kirk or Valenzuela at DH with George Springer in OF per John Schneider. Springer has quietly been taking some fly balls as prep for that possibility.

Shane Bieber likely to make another triple-A rehab start before rejoining Blue Jays per John Schneider

Wonder if Jays think about recalling Davis Schneider. LHP Ryan Weathers pitching tonight.

Shane Bieber set to start for Bisons today. It'll be his second AAA start. Last time he threw 2.2 innings, 59 pitches. Typical ramp-up would see him increase workload to ≈75 pitches here. Getting closer to MLB readiness. Blue Jays have been deliberate with him so far in '26.

Max Scherzer said he feels good physically & John Schneider said “you don't want to make any knee-jerk reactions,” but it wasn’t the return the Blue Jays hoped for.
 A look at where things stand for Scherzer & Jays www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

"Spencer Miles did a hell of a job" in relief today, John Schneider said. "You're going right after really good hitters and you're getting some weird swings and you're getting some swing and miss."

John Schneider on Max Scherzer: "You want to try to see what it looks like when he gets some consistent work. I think he's earned that. It's the reason why we signed him back and you don't want to make any knee-jerk reactions."

pulled muscle in right shoulder area for Adolis Garcia ... further evaluation ahead

odd effort by Alec Bohm there – where was his clock on that play

Fans & teammates applaud as Max Scherzer records career strikeout No. 3,500. He's the 11th pitcher ever to reach that milestone.

Connor Seabold DFA to make room for Max Scherzer

Daulton Varsho “feeling better” today. Had an MRI that came back normal. Jays hoping to avoid IL stint.

Vlad Guerrero Jr. leading off for Jays. Per John Schneider it’s “just trying to shake things up for him a bit and see how it goes.” In recent weeks Guerrero Jr. has told Schneider he’ll hit wherever Jays want. “We go as Vlad goes, right? And no one feels that more than him.”

Blue Jays optioned Adam Macko because of circumstance, not performance per John Schneider “He was a pro about it. He understands that he’ll most likely to be back here at some point.”

Jays have to make 2 roster moves by tomorrow for Cease & Scherzer. Means 2 arms are coming off roster. Would've guessed SWR, but 4 IP, 0 ER yest w/ velo ↑. SWR out of options. Seabold, too. Macko has options, but NYY in on wknd = ↑ LHB. So is there an IL move? Tough call ahead.

4.0 scoreless innings so far for SWR in his Blue Jays debut... 1 hit allowed, 3 Ks ... velo up 1.1 mph to 93.8 mph ... a pleasant surprise for Jays tonight

Addison Barger working out at both 3B & RF as he prepares to come back btw #BlueJays

Bblue Jays hitting coach David Popkins was ejected by home plate umpire Jansen Visconti

Simeon Woods Richardson warms up for Blue Jays as Phillies take a 5-0 lead. May see SWR cover a few innings today.

Nice tribute video for Tim Mayza here at Rogers Centre. Well liked by teammates, coaches, media... basically everyone.

With Blue Jays back to a five-man rotation, Spencer Miles returns to the bullpen

Alejandro Kirk to DH at triple-A tomorrow then catch. Best-case scenario he’s active Friday vs. NYY

Dylan Cease set to start Tuesday for Blue Jays Max Scherzer Wednesday Shane Bieber rehab start at AAA Thursday

Appears that Blue Jays will DFA Yariel Rodriguez as Francys Romero said Move will clear active roster space and 40-man space. Tommy Nance could be active soon.

A controversial call led to a five-run rally & the Blue Jays won this series vs. Baltimore. Up at sportsnet dot ca, comments from Ernie Clement & the umpires themselves. Plus, another big day for a rookie catcher. www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Dylan Cease & Max Scherzer both threw sides at Rogers Centre today. "See how they feel and go from there," John Schneider said. For now, it's TBA Tues & TBA Weds. Jays expect to have a clearer pitching plan mapped out by tomorrow afternoon.

Ernie Clement after today's Blue Jays win: “We’re a really good team. We have a chance to be a great team."

Brandon Valenzuela now second on the Blue Jays in HR with seven. OPS up to .822.

Tanner Andrews cleared waivers per Blue Jays He has been assigned to AAA Buffalo.

Blue Jays vs. Phillies probables: Monday: Patrick Corbin vs. Cristopher Sanchez Tuesday: TBA vs. Zack Wheeler Wednesday: TBA vs. Jesus Luzardo Dylan Cease & Max Scherzer are both with Blue Jays in Toronto & will be considered for Tues & Weds starts, but that's not final.

Btw: Chad Dallas is nicknamed 'cheese.' It comes from a character named Bobby in the Goofy movie. "I thought he was a cool guy," Dallas said. Growing up, he'd do the voice and spray some spray cheese in his mouth. His mom & siblings still call him cheese. "Quite a journey for a nickname," he said.

"Like a little God wink," Chad Dallas learned he'd be pitching in the big-leagues on a day that meant a lot to him and his family. And then he got the win over Chris Sale as the Blue Jays wrapped up an eventful road trip. More from Atlanta. www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Chad Dallas learned on Lou Gehrig day that he’d be making his MLB debut tonight. That’s especially significant for him, as he lost his father to ALS in 2025. "It was extremely special, like a little god wink. Just tons of emotions ... Sad. Tons of happy. Super-excited."

Nathan Lukes vs. Chris Sale: BB, HB, 1B “I guess the baseball gods are on my side,” Lukes said last night.

Blue Jays notes: • Chad Dallas to make his MLB debut today as expected • SWR to join Blue Jays in Toronto when a corresponding move will be made • Alejandro Kirk has a scheduled day off today; will catch in Dunedin tomorrow

Chad Dallas active Hayden Juenger optioned Tanner Andrews DFA

On a tough night for the Blue Jays, Nathan Lukes singled and homered From "swinging at air" due to vertigo to putting up two-hit nights on a regular basis "it’s been a night-and-day difference” for Lukes, who says the baseball gods are on his side again www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

Mason Fluharty will start for the Blue Jays tomorrow per team

Asked about the pop up that dropped between Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Brandon Valenzuela, John Schneider said it would have been too long of a run for either player. “No man’s land … Vlad’s playing way over. He had to go a long way. I think it was just put in the perfect spot.”

SWR not likely to factor into Blue Jays’ pitching plans for tomorrow per John Schneider Sounds like Jays are still working through his travel

SWR joins Blue Jays for cash Joe Mantiply moves to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster.

#BlueJays are set to acquire Simeon Woods Richardson from the Twins per source @mitchbannon.bsky.social was first on this

Blue Jays notes: •Chad Dallas with Blue Jays on taxi squad in case he's needed tomorrow "see how today shakes out," John Schneider said. •Dylan Cease's bullpen session went well, so he's on track to start Thursday at AAA •Shane Bieber set to start at AAA Saturday

Nathan Lukes and Yohendrick Pinango atop the Blue Jays’ batting order as George Springer gets a day off.

Thursday: Dylan Cease pitches at AAA Friday: Max Scherzer & later Tommy Nance Saturday: could be Shane Bieber A beleaguered Blue Jays pitching staff is close to getting some help. www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...

After a 4-3 loss in Atlanta, Kevin Gausman blamed himself for a leadoff walk that led to a 2-run first. While expressing confidence in the Jays, Gausman said everyone incl. him needs to be better. “We feel like we take 4 steps forward & 2 steps back.” www.sportsnet.ca/mlb/article/...
