Latest news and updates about the Blue Jays
Go get ‘em, Colin.
So yesterday didn’t go to plan. The Cubs treated Kevin Gausman like a nine-man Qatari soccer team, dissipating the good vibes from the sweep of the Red Sox. But it’s a new day. Patrick Corbin (2-3, 4.57) is no great shakes at this point in his career, but I think he can give us more […]

TODAY: The Jays announced Estrada’s reinstatement from the 60-day IL as well as Daulton Varsho‘s reinstatement from the 10-day IL. Little and infielder Charles McAdoo were optioned to Triple-A to create room for Estrada and Varsho on the active roster. JUNE 19: The Blue Jays will reinstate right-hander Lazaro Estrada from the 60-day injured list, reports […]
These are the days when I’m super jealous of Al. A June afternoon at the park while the Cubs are playing pinball. To be fair, he’s watched a metric ton of bad baseball this year (and nine walk-offs too!). I’m sure I’m suffering from some recency bias, but this has felt like the weirdest ever […]
The Toronto Blue Jays already have one of the most expensive rosters in baseball. They appear willing to make it even more expensive. Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic , at least one rival club is under the impression that Toronto would take on additional payroll at the August 3 trade deadline to acquire the offense it needs. "The Jays already are well above the highest luxury-tax threshold, but at least one rival club is under the impression the team would take on additional payroll to ge...
You just can’t come up with enough superlatives to describe Cam Schlittler. The flame throwing righty struck out a career-high 13 batters in the series opener against the Reds to widen his lead in the AL Cy Young race. His six scoreless innings and home runs by Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Ben Rice proved the […]
After being swept by the Blue Jays in three games at Fenway Park, the Red Sox flew to Seattle where left-hander Ranger Suarez took a no-hitter into the seventh inning.
I told you this Cubs offense would come alive at some point! I certainly didn’t expect all of it to explode in one game, though that was sure fun to watch. The Cubs matched their season high in hits (18) and set season highs for walks (11) and runs in a 16-2 demolition of the […]
Blue Jays Little Cubs Lots As well as being a terrible baseball game, Vlad Guerrero left the game with a back issue after a swing. They are saying he will play tomorrow, but I wouldn’t bet on it. There are games like this, but I really didn’t expect it from Kevin Gausman. Kevin had four […]
The defending American League champion Toronto Blue Jays are trying to regain their footing in the race for the playoffs after a slow start this season. They appeared to be moving in the right direction this week after sweeping a road series against the Boston Red Sox, but they suffered a blow in the first […] The post Blue Jays’ Vladimir Guerrero Jr. exits Cubs game with apparent injury appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Red Sox were swept at Fenway Park again. This time by the only mildly hapless Toronto Blue Jays. A team that had to pick up a DFA’d pitcher who would, of course, provide innings of scoreless relief against Boston. 6-1, sure that was bad. 2-0? Seriously? 4-3 on a wind carried popup? Sigh. Now […]
The wait may finally be over for the Toronto Blue Jays. Manager John Schneider announced Friday that former Cy Young […]
Toronto Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman is one of the better pitchers in MLB, but he did not look like it on Friday. The veteran hurler allowed seven earned runs in the first inning of Friday’s game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. According to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, Gausman walked four hitters […] The post Blue Jays’ Kevin Gausman hits brutal low in awful start vs. Cubs appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Go get ‘em, Ben.
One day I’d like to go to Wrigley Field. There is pregame news, Brendan Little is back, because we can’t have too many Brendans, Braydons, Brandons and all. He has walked few of late, just 2 in his last seven appearances, totally 7.2 innings. They won’t be happy until every player on the 26 man […]
It’s not hyperbole to say that Mets SS Bo Bichette is in the process of transforming his season. In his last 15 games, he’s hit .387 and three home runs, nearly half of his eight total. But how much of an impact can this hot streak truly have? https://twitter.com/mikemayer22/status/2067308254678462830 Tale of Two Seasons To understand […] The post Can Bo Bichette’s Hot Streak Salvage His Season? appeared first on The Lead .
Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Shane Bieber is continuing to recover from an elbow injury. The right-handed starter recently made a rehab start and it seems like Bieber’s return may be near. He addressed his recent rehab start — that saw him throw 80 pitches — on Friday, via Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet. “Shane Bieber […] The post Blue Jays starter Shane Bieber’s encouraging injury update comes with ‘funky’ catch appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Good Morning. And Happy Birthday Tyler Heineman, who turns 35 today. He was very likable when he was here. That’s an important skill for a backup catcher, but he seemed like a great guy. And he had an excellent season last year. I hope things go will with the Angels. We have a day game. […]
Today’s roster move: Here Friday notes… Cubs lineup: Blue Jays lineup: Ben Brown, RHP vs. Kevin Gausman, RHP I wouldn’t say Ben Brown has been the savior of the Cubs starting rotation but… yeah, he pretty much has been. Since he joined the rotation May 8, he has a 1.49 ERA, 0.936 WHIP, 2.13 FIP […]
2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Carson Kelly is the Superhero vs. the Blue Jays Cubs vs. Blue Jays, Friday 6/19, 1:20 CT live! Chicago Cubs vs. Toronto Blue Jays preview, Friday 6/19, 1:20 CT
Both Chicago and Toronto have disappointed so far this season, but there's still time left to right the ship.
Heading into Friday, the Toronto Blue Jays’ 37-38 record has them nine games out of the AL East but currently in a tie for the third Wild Card spot. The franchise knows they’ll need a bit more firepower to go on another deep playoff run. The Blue Jays’ $282.5 million payroll is third-highest in MLB, […] The post Blue Jays rumors: Toronto willing to take on more salary at trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
When the Blue Jays were last at Wrigley Field in August 2024, thousands of Jays fans followed them to Chicago. I found them to all be passionate fans, but also friendly and unfailingly polite. As we are near the beginning of summer travel season, I’d expect more Jays fans at Wrigley again this weekend — […]
I shouldn’t mislead you: the Orioles are not hovering at .500 right now, because they’re actually sitting at 35-41 (.461), fourth in the AL East, staring up at the Yankees, Rays, and even the Blue Jays. I can’t even analytics our way out of here: their Pythagorean record, the model that predicts wins based on […]
