We figured this was coming: Also, no surprise, Yariel Rodriguez has cleared waivers and is assigned to Buffalo. Kirk is batting fourth today and Schneider is hitting eighth, playing left field. Heineman could be taken off waivers, if there is anyone who is really hurting at backup catcher, but he is making $1,237,500 this year […]
The Toronto Blue Jays made a series of moves recently, with one of them being activating Alejandro Kirk from the 6-day injured list, according to the team’s account. “C Alejandro Kirk reinstated from the 60-day IL and will be active tonight,” the Blue Jays wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Kirk hasn’t played most of the […] The post Blue Jays’ Alejandro Kirk activated amid bevy of injured list moves appeared first on ClutchPoints .
To highlight a series of roster moves on Friday, the Blue Jays activated catcher Alejandro Kirk from the 60-day injured list and placed outfielder Dalton Varsho on the 10-day IL with left wrist inflammation, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports. The team also designated catcher Tyler Heineman for assignment and recalled outfielder Davis Schneider from Triple-A […]
I’ve been waiting for the official word that Alejandro Kirk has been added to the roster, with Tyler Heineman getting the DFA treatment. I feel bad for him (and, of course, there is a chance they will do something else). And I understand it is possible that Daulton Varsho might get put on the IL […]
11 years ago today: The Blue Jays made a fantastic comeback to beat the Red Sox in Boston. It would be our 9th win in a row. We would sweep the Red Sox, running our winning streak to 11. At the end of 3 innings, the Jays were down 8-1. Drew Hutchison had a terrible […]
On Wednesday night, closer Jhoan Duran was called on for a third straight game to protect a 7-4 lead against the Blue Jays. He gave up two hits in the 9th inning but danced between the raindrops and secured his 17th save in 18 chances and lowered his ERA to 1.99. Duran has given up […]
The Yankees, on the heels of a much-needed sweep over the Guardians, enjoyed a day off on Thursday. Stuck in a tie atop the American League East, they’ll head north of the border for a three-game series against the Blue Jays that kicks off on Friday. The Rays were also off on Thursday, and they’ll […]
The Yankees faced a decently big test earlier this week as they took on the Cleveland Guardians — who are near the top of the AL Central — in a series without Aaron Judge. Capped off by a big win on Wednesday, the Yankees passed that test, sweeping all three games against Cleveland. Next up […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Damon Buford, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, in 1939 – In front of a record crowd of 23,864 fans at Ruppert Stadium in Newark, NJ, Lou Gehrig plays his last game in a Yankee uniform when he participates in an exhibition contest against the Kansas City Blues, the team’s American Association farm […]
The Toronto Blue Jays left fans wondering when Shane Bieber would return from his MLB Injury. Toronto has rolled without Bieber since May 22. But his rehab stint is firing off the signal he’s ready to return. Bieber is south of the Canadian border in Buffalo, New York. Jon Morosi of MLB.com dropped this update […] The post Shane Bieber’s stellar rehab start suggest MLB return is near appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Over the past four weeks, the Jays are 14-12 with a 3.97 ERA Hot Kevin Gausman: 5 starts, 2-1, 3.14ERA. In 28.2 innings, batters hit .243/.278/.411 with 3 home runs, 5 walks and 31 strikeouts. Two quality starts, one good start that went five innings and a couple of less great starts. At 35 he’s […]
While the 2026 campaign has not gone according to plan, the Toronto Blue Jays are still very much in the postseason hunt. At 33-36, last season’s AL champions are third in the AL East, nine games behind the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees. Toronto’s inconsistent form has plagued the team, alongside a […] The post One overlooked Blue Jays infielder must start MLB All-Star Game, per his teammate appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Questions were raised last year when the Toronto Blue Jays signed 41-year-old Max Scherzer as a starter. Although his 5.19 ERA from 17 starts wasn’t anything impressive, his 3 SOs from 4 innings in the World Series Game 7 had enough for the Jays to sign him again for 2026. But he is worse this […] The post Blue Jays Nation Left Frustrated as John Schneider Rushes to Defend Max Scherzer Amid Concerning Stretch appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Jordan Romano knows what it feels like to be one of the best relievers in baseball. He has been there. Two All-Star appearances, 105 saves with the Toronto Blue Jays, and a stretch from 2021 through 2023 where he was, on most nights, simply unhittable. A 6-foot-5 right-hander from Markham, Ontario, with a fastball that […]
Jose Reyes turns 43 today. In November 2012, Jose Reyes joined the Blue Jays as part of a blockbuster trade with the Marlins. Toronto received Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle, outfielder Emilio Bonifacio, and catcher John Buck, while Yunel Escobar, Adeiny Hechavarria, Henderson Alvarez, Justin Nicolino, Jake Marisnick, Jeff Mathis, and Anthony DeSclafani went to […]
The New York Mets have arguably been the most disappointing team in baseball this season. A team carrying the highest payroll in baseball enters June 10 at 29-37, eight games under .500 and 15.5 games back in the National League East. If you tried explaining to a Mets fan before the season that the team […] The post Don’t Look Now, But Bo Bichette’s Bat Is Waking Up appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Jays’ International Free Agent pipeline has been a bit down in recent years. Vladimir Guerrero jr. and Alejandro Kirk are homegrown stars who signed at 16, but they’re it on the roster right now. There isn’t a ton of immediate promise on the farm, either. Recent top dollar signings, including like Manuel Beltre, Luis […]
Phillies 7 Blue Jays 4 That was bad in a lot of ways. Might as well get the congratulations out of the way first, Max Scherzer got his 3500th strikeout, just the 11th pitcher to get to that number. He’s at 3503 now. Number 10 in the list is Walter ‘Big Train’ Johnson at 3509. […]
Over the course of his long, illustrious career, future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer has had many dominant performances against the Phillies. Tonight was not one of them. The Phillies victimized the 41-year-old Scherzer in his first start back from the injured list, teeing off for five runs and two home runs off of their […]
Max Scherzer got his sixth start of the season on Wednesday in the Toronto Blue Jays’ game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Early in the contest, the 19-year veteran accomplished a rare feat in MLB history, putting him amongst some of the best pitchers of all time. The 41-year-old right-hander finally recorded the 3,500th strikeout of […] The post Blue Jays’ Max Scherzer joins historic MLB club during Phillies start appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Blue Jays announced that right-hander Connor Seabold has been designated for assignment. That opens an active roster spot for Max Scherzer, who has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start tonight’s game. Toronto’s 40-man roster count drops to 38, as Yariel Rodríguez was also designated for assignment this week. Seabold, 30, began […]
Mad Max is back. With the return of Max Scherzer to the Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff, someone had to pay the DFA price, and it was a pretty easy decision. It was a short and unremarkable stint for right-hander Connor Seabold. The 30-year-old made five appearances totaling 3.1 innings for the injury-riddled Jays staff, all in low-leverage opportunities. And it wasn't impressive, as he posted an 8.10 ERA. He has now been designated for assignment. Seabold is out of options ...
While the Toronto Blue Jays fell short of their World Series championship goals thanks to a dramatic 4-3 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the Fall Classic, they are still celebrating their 2025 accomplishments.
You know who has done a really good job this year? No, not me <hold the applause>. No, it’s been Don Mattingly! Weirdly enough, when the team fired Rob Thomson, everyone knew that it wasn’t truly his fault that the team was struggling at the time. They weren’t playing well, the issues ultimately lying with […]
