TORONTO -- The bullpen shuffle begins. The Blue Jays designated Jacob Barnes for assignment prior to Sunday’s finale against the Mariners, which wasn’t a surprise after he allowed a grand slam in the 12th inning the night before, but the second move wasn’t expected. Nick Sandlin hit the IL with

TORONTO -- Max Scherzer has a very important right thumb. If his thumb behaves and Scherzer bounces back into this Blue Jays rotation a few weeks from now, an already excellent rotation could be one of the best in baseball. If that thumb keeps barking, then this anxious conversation stretches

BALTIMORE -- The Blue Jays can breathe a big sigh of relief as they head back to Toronto, their nine-game, three-city road trip complete. What seemed like it may have been a devastating loss after George Springer exited early with a left wrist injury ended with a 7-6, 10-inning win

TORONTO -- George Springer left Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Mets in clear pain after slamming into the Citi Field wall in the eighth inning, a worrying moment after the veteran has been one of the Blue Jays’ best stories early this season. The good news, for now? Springer’s early

TORONTO -- Saturday in Toronto, there was such a sense of hope and excitement. Max Scherzer, the likely future Hall of Famer who looks like he still has something left in the tank, was making his Blue Jays debut. Three hours later, Scherzer was using phrases like “imminent danger” and

TORONTO -- In the bullpen before his Blue Jays debut, Max Scherzer felt that something wasn’t right. He gave manager John Schneider a heads-up before the game, asking that they work with him as he tried to pitch through this, but after three innings and 45 pitches, Scherzer’s debut came

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Daulton Varsho was always the biggest variable in Blue Jays camp. Now that he’s officially starting 2025 on the IL, the other dominos can start to fall. Varsho will travel with the Blue Jays to Toronto to receive his Gold Glove Award on Opening Day, but after

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Max Scherzer's right thumb just became one of the most important things in Blue Jays camp. Scherzer has been dealing with soreness recently, and while he was able to face some Minor League hitters in a simulated game at the Blue Jays’ complex on Monday, the real

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays can exhale. Max Scherzer’s right thumb soreness is nothing serious, an MRI has shown, and he should be back on the mound over the next day or two. Scherzer felt the soreness coming out of his start last weekend, so the Blue Jays were

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- The Blue Jays had their first injury scare of the spring on Tuesday when Joey Loperfido left the club's 3-2 win over the Cardinals in the first inning with neck discomfort. Loperfido was tracking a fly ball from Victor Scott II back to the wall in center

ARLINGTON -- A long, frustrating season for Bo Bichette has come to a quick, disappointing end. Bichette has a fracture in his right middle finger, the Blue Jays announced prior to Thursday’s 4-0 win at Globe Life Field in which they shut out the Rangers, and the timing is cruel.

ARLINGTON -- For the past week, Daulton Varsho has been day to day with a nagging shoulder issue. That just took a turn. Varsho will undergo rotator cuff surgery soon to repair his right shoulder, Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tuesday, which ends his 2024 season on a worrying

TORONTO -- The bad news just keeps on coming. Ricky Tiedemann, the Blue Jays’ No. 1 prospect and a gifted young left-hander, will undergo full Tommy John surgery on Tuesday. Tiedemann has battled injuries all season, which is unfortunately nothing new for him. He first hit the IL in late

TORONTO -- It happened exactly how the Blue Jays feared it would. Bo Bichette hit a line drive into the right-field corner in the bottom of the sixth Friday, and with a shot the ball would drop, he busted out of the box up the first-base line. Five steps later,

TORONTO -- Joey Votto was scratched from his scheduled debut with the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Friday after tweaking his right ankle in pregame activities. Votto will be evaluated Saturday, the Blue Jays announced, to determine next steps. This is the same right ankle that Votto rolled on a bat

CHICAGO -- Just as things were starting to go well again for Alek Manoah, it took a turn Wednesday night in Chicago. Manoah was removed from the Blue Jays’ 3-1 win at Guaranteed Rate Field with right elbow discomfort, leaving a cloud over an otherwise excellent series for the Blue

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays are down another key arm. Right-hander Yariel Rodríguez, one of the club’s most interesting stories in 2024, was placed on the 15-day injured list with thoracic spine inflammation ahead of Toronto’s game against the Royals on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, reliever Zach Pop was

TORONTO -- Left-hander Brandon Barriera, the Blue Jays’ No. 4 overall prospect, underwent a combination Tommy John surgery and internal brace procedure on his throwing elbow, the club confirmed on Monday. The procedure addressed a Grade 2 UCL tear, said Barriera’s agent, Nate Heisler, on social media. The Blue Jays

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays got the "best possible news" on Ricky Tiedemann, as examinations showed no ligament damage in the No. 1 prospect's left elbow. Manager John Schneider said on Friday that Tiedemann has been diagnosed with ulnar nerve inflammation and he is expected to resume throwing within the

KANSAS CITY -- It feels like the Blue Jays’ top hitting prospects are putting on a show every night, but on the pitching side, the news isn’t nearly as rosy. The Blue Jays have lost three of their top five pitching prospects to arm injuries over the past two weeks,
