Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
The Yankees will have to wait another day to snap out of their divisional funk. They dropped back-to-back contests against the Blue Jays earlier this week to end the four-game set at Yankee Stadium in disappointing fashion, and a slim 1-0 lead against the first-place Rays in Gerrit Cole’s long-awaited comeback from Tommy John surgery […]
Pirates 2 Blue Jays 6 That game had everything. Good pitching. Timely hits. Good defense. And stuff to argue about. Let’s start with that. In the eighth, Mason Fluharty started the inning with a walk and a single. In comes Louis Varland. He gets: Great job by Varland to get out of the inning with […]
Studs Peyton Tolle (6.0 IP, 3 ER, 2 BB, 9 Ks) Look, did Tolle have a rough second inning? For sure. But this was a truly professional outing for Tolle that he hunkered down and put down Twin after Twin through the remaining four frames. For a young starter, this is the growth you want […]
Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Toronto Blue Jays, May 22, 2026, 7:07 p.m. ET Location: Rogers Centre, Toronto, ON Broadcast: KDKA AM/FM, Sportsnet Pitching Matchup: Bubba Chandler (1-5, 5.14 ERA) vs. Kevin Gausman (3-3, 3.45 ERA) The Pittsburgh Pirates are on the road today against the Toronto Blue Jays looking to grab a win.

Over the past two weeks the Jays are 7-6. The offense has scored 2.0 runs per game. No sorry, 4.2 runs per game. Hot Brandon Valenzuela: Played in 11 games, starting 9. Hit .300/.382/.433 with 1 double, 1 home run, 4 RBI, 4 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Why is this guy bunting? He’s been terrific […]
Thursday was a lighter day on the Major League schedule, though the Yankees still had time to squeeze in a tough loss. The Bombers mustered just three hits at the plate and spoiled a solid Carlos Rodón start in their 2-0 loss at the hands of the Blue Jays. The loss locked in a split […]
Thursday saw the Yankees wrap up a four-game set against the Blue Jays with a loss, earning a series split. The last two games were especially frustrating, with the Yankees scoring just one total run between them. However, this would be a bad time for them to them to dwell on those woes. Now comes […]
The Yankees had a real chance to turn things around this week, pulling out a pair of dramatic wins to open up their four-gams series with the Blue Jays. But their offense laid an egg in the final two contests, scoring one run combined and having to settle for a split with Toronto. No matter, […]
New York Post | Greg Joyce: After last night’s loss to the Blue Jays, the Yankees sent Yovanny Cruz and Spencer Jones down to Triple-A. The moves clear two spots on the active roster, which will be taken presumably by Gerrit Cole and José Caballero today. This would all but confirm that the Yankees will go […]
The Yankees have been clearly salty about the way their 2025 season came to a close since the moment it happened. They strongly believed that their team was talented enough to win a championship, and to lose to the Blue Jays—first in the AL East race and then in the AL Division Series—was deeply disappointing. […]
Jays 2 Yankees 0 I’m thinking it is time to forget about the ‘opener’ thing for Spencer Miles, just start him. But then again, if it ain’t broke…. Miles was amazing, 4.1 innings, 2 hits, 1 walk and 6 strikeouts. He was unhittable . I want him keeping the fifth starter role. He was awarded […]

Just in case I don’t get home before game time, use this as the game thread. I expect to be home before, but best laid plans and all. I’m looking forward to seeing how Spencer Miles does tonight. He’s been terrific in this role. I’m thinking they could skip the opener thing, but i don’t […]
Though the Yankees and Blue Jays remain 7.5 games apart in the AL East standings, the first three games of this four-game set between them have each been decided by a single run. Last night, the Yankees failed to support Cam Schlittler’s strong start as their nemesis Trey Yesavage dominated them again. Thanks to the […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are promoting one of the biggest power-hitting bats in the organization to the Major Leagues. First baseman/outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez is expected to join the Pirates in Toronto on Friday before the Pirates begin a three-game series against the Blue Jays. BBWAA member Francys Romero was first to report the promotion. Regarded as […]
It is nice to get a one-run win for a change. They are 5-10 in one run games. I expect that to level off some. There is a bunch of little bits of Jays news: I had thought the strike zone was pretty big last night, but I was wrong, Sorry Brock. Non-Jays, but wouldn’t […]
The Yankees dropped the third game of their series against the Blue Jays, losing a narrow pitchers’ duel between Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage. Schlittler matched Yesavage zero for zero on the scoreboard until the seventh inning, when the hits finally poured over and loaded the bases before he walked one in and was pulled. […]
Blue Jays 2 Yankees 0 The game was delayed two hours because of rain in New York. That was a nerve-racking game. No one scored until the Jays got two in the top of the seventh. Smart work by the Jays to save the scoring til late to give less time for the Yankees to […]
It was a good, ol’ fashioned pitchers’ duel in the Bronx on Wednesday night, one that we had to wait patiently for due to a lengthy rain delay. Two young, burgeoning aces who burst on the scene during last year’s postseason went toe-to-toe in a big midweek divisional matchup, and it lived up to the […]
With Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez already on the shelf after injuries suffered within the past month in two separate series against the Texas Rangers, the organization’s outfield depth is being stretched thin. Unfortunately, the hits kept on coming during Wednesday night’s game against the Blue Jays, following a two-hour rain delay. Center fielder Trent […]
The weather may not be bright, but the Yankees’ spirits are probably a little brighter after taking the first two games of this series against Toronto. They haven’t been pretty, but after the abysmal road trip New York suffered, back-to-back wins could be just the thing to jumpstart them back into high gear, and they […]
A scintillating starting pitching matchup is on tap in the Bronx tonight, as young phenoms Cam Schlittler and Trey Yesavage are supposed to go toe-to-toe. Both right-handers broke out late in 2025, with Schlittler earning a rotation spot down the stretch for the Yankees and then dominating the Red Sox in his playoff debut to […]

We talked about today’s new already, so all I have to say is please win. They are already saying the game will be delayed. Today’s lineup: Today’s Lineups BLUE JAYS YANKEES George Springer – DH Ben Rice – DH Vladimir Guerrero – 1B Aaron Judge – RF Daulton Varsho – CF Cody Bellinger – LF […]
The official verdict is in. And it's another huge blow to the Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff. Starter Jose Berrios went under the knife on Wednesday to address the stress fracture in his elbow, and once Dr. Keith Meister got inside, it was apparent that a full Tommy John surgery was the only option. Jose Berrios ended up needing full Tommy John surgery, which was performed today, said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. The stress fracture in the elbow ended up damaging the ligament. He’...
