Blue Jays News

In a much-needed boost, the Toronto Blue Jays snapped the Kansas City Royals' nine-game winning streak with a 3-0 victory, showcasing the resilience of a pitching staff battered by injuries. The win, marked by a clutch game-winning home run from Nathan Lukes, is a testament to the team's adaptability on bullpen days, which have become an unfortunate necessity due to ongoing injuries, including Shane Bieber's recent stint on the IL. Despite Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s struggles with fielding,leading all first basemen with eight errors,this victory was a reminder that the Blue Jays can still find ways to triumph, even in the face of adversity. With the bullpen stepping up and Lukes redeeming himself, the Jays must capitalize on this momentum to climb back in the standings.

Royals 0 Blue Jays 3 I don’t like bullpen days, but teams are very successful on bullpen days. And the Jays have been especially successful on bullpen days. I don’t like them because we go through so many pitchers. It messes up the pen for the next few days. Today we used seven pitchers. Seven: […]

Blue Jays keep knocking down pitching-injury obstacles with imperfect bullpen days
TORONTO — They certainly haven’t been masterpieces, but the Blue Jays continue to nail these injury-necessitated bullpen days. One pitching-injury setback after another, blow after blow, the pitching staff could’ve waved the white flag at any time, and nobody would’ve blamed them. There’s been a lot to shoulder. Instead, they’ve kept on truckin’, with Wednesday’s…

The Toronto Blue Jays are taking things easy with left-hander Ricky Tiedemann. Injuries have ravaged Tiedemann’s career, with the 24-year-old missing all of the 2025 season due to injury. He returned to the diamond in 2026 on June 16th after a setback in Spring Training, making two starts for the FCL Jays before he landed…

The Blue Jays announced that right-hander Shane Bieber has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to August 21, with right teres major inflammation. IL stints can only be backdated by three days, so they must have made the move at some point during yesterday’s off-day. Righty Chad Dallas has been recalled as a […]

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays have turned bullpen days into their own art forms. They pulled it off again in Wednesday’s 3-0 win over the Royals at Rogers Centre, potentially the last time they’ll need to scramble before their rotation is full again. The win keeps the Blue Jays on
