One of the Toronto Blue Jays’ brightest young players left with an injury on Monday. Centrefielder Brett Bateman suffered an injury to his left leg while diving to make a catch in the second inning against the Baltimore Orioles. Bateman’s left leg appeared to dig into the dirt as he dove for the ball and he immediately collapsed to the field in pain. He was able to walk off the field under his own power but with a visible limp. Manager John Schneider helped Bateman walk down the dugout stairs....
BALTIMORE — Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was out of the lineup Monday night as the Blue Jays opened their series against the Orioles, clinging to their fading postseason chances. Guerrero was removed from Sunday’s finale against the Rangers with left lower back tightness, something that flared up when he stretched to make a play at first base a couple of days prior. It hadn’t improved much by the time the Blue Jays got to Baltimore. Carlos Delgado Short-Sleeved Retro Windbreaker Giveaway is Sept. 25!...
BALTIMORE — In a season short on it, let’s start with the good news. Dylan Cease’s MRI revealed only inflammation in his right shoulder, nothing structural and nothing more. Cease still won’t be making his scheduled start this week in Baltimore and he may not pitch again in 2026, but the Blue Jays don’t expect this to be something that spills into ‘27. Cease wouldn’t describe it as “painful,” but he detailed the discomfort he’s been pitching through. “It’s definitely a bit heavy and achy, just...

With just a few days left in the regular season, the last thing anyone wants is a rainout.
The Toronto Blue Jays and their ace appear to have dodged a bullet. Dylan Cease told reporters on Monday that he will not need surgery for the right shoulder fatigue he’s experiencing, but remains in “limbo” on the next steps. Cease flew from Texas to Toronto on Saturday for an MRI on his shoulder. The 30-year-old right-hander told manager John Schneider that he had been experiencing “fatigue, not pain” for a few weeks. It was decided that he would miss his next start against the Orioles due t...
BALTIMORE—José Barrero is in the Orioles’ lineup at second base for Monday night’s game. Barrero will be the 60th player used by the team.

The Toronto Blue Jays will be without their struggling first baseman on Monday. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not in the lineup for Game 1 of the Blue Jays’ three-game series against the Baltimore Orioles after exiting their game on Sunday with lower back tightness.

Keys has two home runs and a .644 OPS over...
The Blue Jays reinstated righty Trey Yesavage from the 15-day injured list and recalled fellow right-hander Chad Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, the team announced.

Yesavage will start tonight’s game as the Jays try to keep […]

After sweeping the Mets early last week, the Orioles returned to Baltimore with a clear goal: win their series against the MLB-best Brewers and keep themselves in the playoff race.

The Rangers won the first two games against the Blue Jays this weekend, but a sweep would have done wonders for the standings. T...
ARLINGTON, Texas — All told, the Toronto Blue Jays have had better weekends. A stuff-dependent staff ace featuring the lowest velocity of his career on Friday, performing so concerningly that he’s sent out for an MRI the next day.
