Tommy John Surgery Strikes Blue Jays Pitching Staff

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’...

Blue Jays Birthdays: Todd Stottlemyre, David Wells

David Wells turns 63 today. David Wells was born in Torrance, California. Stories claim his mother was a ‘biker chick’ with five children from four fathers, and that he was raised by Hell’s Angels. True or not, it adds color to his background. The Blue Jays picked him in the second round of the 1982 […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays’ new starter Griffin Jax shuts down Orioles

It’s heart attack hotel with this Yankees relief corps, but the bullpen managed to survive another ninth inning comeback attempt to secure consecutive one-run victories over the Blue Jays. It’s made all the more important that they managed to win on a day when Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease was starting, Ryan McMahon and Ben […]

Another One Run Loss

Jays 4 Yankees 5 I don’t know….. Dylan Cease was pitching great and the Jays got three runs in the fourth. All seemed good in the world. In that fourth: The long break seemed to affect Cease, he wasn’t great in the bottom of the fourth, giving up a couple of walks and a Ryan […]

McMahon, Rice power Yankees to win over Blue Jays

Yesterday was such a nailbiter that even though tonight’s game was just about as close, the cadence of the evening felt very different — until it didn’t. Both teams reserved almost all their scoring for the middle innings, with an emphasis on a very stressful “almost.” The most charitable reading of the ninth inning would […]

Dodgers activate Eric Lauer, option Wyatt Mills

The Dodgers on Tuesday activated pitcher Eric Lauer, the left-hander they acquired from the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday for cash considerations. Right-hander Wyatt Mills was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City. After a 3.18 ERA and 3.88 xERA in 2025 for the Blue Jays, Lauer this year had a 6.69 ERA and 5.86 xERA in […]

Game #48 GameThread: Jays @ Yankees

I spent the last hour in one of the lower circles of hell, a Rogers phone shop. I needed a new phone, something that should have taken 10 minutes…… Anyway, speaking of circles of hell, the Jays are playing at Yankee Stadium again. But Dylan Cease is on the mound to battle the demons. Today’s […]

New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Will Warren vs. Dylan Cease

Has your heart rate returned to normal after last night? The Yankees pulled out one of the tightest wins you can ever have on Monday night, but they must also turn around and face one of the game’s best in game two of this big series. Fortunately, they’ll be able to counter with a pitcher […]

Blue Jays Birthdays: Rick Cerone

Rick Cerone celebrates his 72nd birthday today. Cerone was one of the original Blue Jays. Four months and one day before their inaugural game, Toronto traded for Rick and John Lowenstein, sending Rico Carty to Cleveland. The Jays had selected Carty from Cleveland in the expansion draft and reacquired him in March 1978. Cerone appeared […]

Another Frustrating Loss For The Jays

Jays 6 Yankees 7 The Jays turned in one inning. Going into the seventh, the Jays were up 5-3. Adam Macko is in and gets the first two outs of the inning, but, with Aaron Judge coming up, John Schneider goes with a right-hander, Yariel Rodriguez. Understandable, Judge is much better vs lefties. And I […]

The Yankees desperately needed something positive Monday night and, the offense delivered.

New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Ryan Weathers vs. Patrick Corbin

The Yankees return to the Bronx on Monday night looking to stop a frustrating stretch after dropping a series to a last-place team over the weekend in Queens. Despite flashes of offense during the Subway Series, the Yankees once again struggled to put games away. Now, with a four-game series against the reigning American League […]

New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays: Series Preview

The Yankees got run out of Queens this weekend, dropping back-to-back contests to the Mets—the latter in particularly ignominious fashion—to lose the Subway Series and their third straight series overall. Adding to their woes is the Rays’ continued success, which leaves them three games back in the divisional road. Now seems like a less-than-ideal time […]

Vlad Homers, Jays Beat Tigers

Blue Jays 4 Tigers 1 We got more than two runs. Or actually, we got two runs twice: We only had six hits and one walk on the day. Vlad and Varsho had two each (and all the extra base hits). On the pitching side, Kevin Gausman was great. He went six innings, allowing just […]

Blue Jays 4, Tigers 1: Bats quiet, Flaherty a bit better

The rubber match of a three-game weekend series against the Toronto Blue Jays took place on a sunny, summer-like Sunday afternoon in Detroit. Alas, the Tigers dropped the finale and thus the series by a 4-1 score. Jack Flaherty made his tenth start for the Tigers, and his troubles have been well-documented this season. His […]

Game Three with the Tigers and then the Jays head off for four games in New York against the Yankees. And Adam Macko is up with the team. He told reporters that he rushed around to buy ‘collared shirts’ to wear on the team bus, saying that he only had hoodies. It seems that I’ve […]
