The Baltimore Orioles are clinging to their playoff lives. They’ve dropped five straight games and sit three games behind the Toronto Blue Jays for the final Wild Card spot, with two teams between them. With just 19 games remaining, they’ll need to turn things around in a hurry to sneak into the final spot. Unfortunately […]
As Kansas City Royals outfielder Jac Caglianone has been historic for the team this season, showcasing a bright future for the 23-year-old, he would exit Saturday’s 4-3 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays with elbow soreness, as a key update has been revealed. With Caglianone suffering injury scares with the Royals this season, it looks […] The post Royals’ Jac Caglianone injury update a bummer amid superstar breakout, but there’s a sliver lining appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Consider where the Toronto Blue Jays were on the day of the trade deadline. After dropping a game to the Houston Astros that night they found themselves 53-60, 4.5 GB of the third wild-card spot with five teams to leapfrog. They had also just completed the sell-off of multiple assets from the MLB roster, including […] The post Brett Bateman Is Proving His Worth on the Blue Jays appeared first on Just Baseball .
The Kansas City Royals may be having a season to forget, but their fans are certainly still having fun.
The Royals had won five straight series against the Blue Jays coming into tonight. No longer. A pair of costly errors, Kazuma Okamoto’s four-hit night taking advantage of them, and the Royals’ relapse with runners in scoring position led the Blue Jays to take the series. The Blue Jays won 4-3. As has so often […]
Blue Jays 4 Royals 3 The Jays are above .500 and own the last Wild Card spot. After the first inning, I thought this was going to be a high scoring game. The Jays got two in the first (it should have been more). Brett Bateman started the game with a single, but was quickly […]
The Marlins have moved on from veteran infielder Leo Jimenez. He’s been released, per his MLB.com transactions log. Jimenez was designated for assignment on Thursday. Miami acquired Jimenez from the Blue Jays shortly after Opening Day. The club sent infielder Dub Gleed and international bonus pool money back to Toronto. Jimenez had been DFAed by […]
The Royals have lost three of four games since September started. After a hot couple of weeks to finish August, some of us were dreaming about the playoffs, but their odds are back down to 0% after a recent peak of 0.2%, so it’s hard to even dream. Tonight’s game promises to make things that […]
The title tells it all, but SB has this idea that I should put something into a post, not just a title. Seems strange to me. Jameson Taillon was put back on the IL with right elbow inflammation. Ricky Tiedemann has been called back from Buffalo. Tiedemann would have had to stay down for ten […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are in the mix for a possible playoff appearance this year, as the club is knocking on the door of a spot in the Wild Card. However, the team was forced to place starting pitcher Jameson Taillon on the IL at the worst possible time of the season. Reports indicate that […] The post Blue Jays place Jameson Taillon on IL as playoffs draw near appeared first on ClutchPoints .
TODAY: Taillon has been officially placed on the 15-day IL, with right elbow inflammation as the designation. Southpaw Ricky Tiedemann was called up from Triple-A to take Taillon’s spot on the active roster. Jays manager John Schneider told reporters (including MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson) that the team is getting a second opinion on the MRI results […]
The Blue Jays announced that catcher Shawn Ross was claimed off waivers from the Mets, and assigned to Triple-A Buffalo. New York designated Ross for assignment two days ago. Ross began his pro career as an undrafted free agent with the Pirates in 2022, and his tenure in Pittsburgh culminated with his first two MLB […]
Rod Barajas celebrates his 51st birthday today. Barajas spent two seasons with the Blue Jays from 2008 to 2009, during a 14-year major league career. In 2008, the Jays signed Barajas as a backup to Gregg Zaun. Around that time, three significant events occurred: Like many catchers, Barajas was a streaky hitter. In May 2008, […]
Worcester, Game 1: W, 6-4 (F/10) (BOX SCORE) (Continued in 9th inning from yesterday) Fans in Buffalo (Blue Jays AAA) were treated to some extra baseball on Friday as beneficiaries of the game being called off in a gridlocked tie in the ninth. Vinny Capra’s home run in the top of the tenth made it […]
Toronto Blue Jays fans are panicking about their spot in the AL Wild Card race, though that’s what happens when you hover around .500 all season.
Bo Bichette has one of the biggest decisions facing the Mets this offseason, but David Stearns hasn’t started that conversation […]
Outfielder Daz Cameron has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A, per his MLB.com transactions log. The Blue Jays designated him for assignment on Tuesday. Cameron has been outrighted before, so he can reject the assignment and choose free agency. He’ll most likely stick with Buffalo and wait for another chance with the big-league club. […]
Jaylon Thompson writes Daniel Lynch IV had mixed results in a loss to the Blue Jays Friday. Lynch got through five innings. He had more conviction in the final three frames as he didn’t allow a run for the remainder of his start. And the challenge now is to replicate his command and carry it […]
One of the fun things about covering the Friday and Saturday night games all season has been that, on a week like this with one off day, if a good starting pitcher pitches on a Saturday, I get to write about him that night, and I know I’ll get to write about him again next […]
The New York Mets signed Bo Bichette last winter, hoping the veteran infielder would contribute to a World Series push. Bichette was coming off a World Series appearance with the Toronto Blue Jays. There was a ton of reason to believe Bichette could be a meaningful contributor. Fast forward to September, and things have not […] The post Has Mets’ David Stearns talked to Bo Bichette about end-of-season plans? appeared first on ClutchPoints .
I was very hopeful that Ricky Tiedeman would spend the rest of the season with the Jays. Oh well. Jameson Taillon has been added to the Jays roster, and will be starting tonight. He had forearm tendinitis, but wasn’t out terribly long. He started two games, for the Jays, before hitting the IL, allowing 3 […]
The Blue Jays ended the Royals’ nine-game winning streak last week, but still dropped two out of three to the boys in blue in Toronto. They’ll take the series to Kauffman Stadium, with the Jays playing as hot as Kansas City weather, winning five of their last six. Toronto Blue Jays (70-71) vs. Kansas City […]
Today marks the 76th birthday of former Blue Jays pitcher Doyle Alexander. Doyle pitched for the Jays over four seasons—two full seasons and two partial ones. During his time in Toronto, he posted a 46-26 record with a 3.56 ERA across 106 games, making 103 starts. The Jays signed him as a free agent on […]
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Kyle Tucker, and Trea Turner all have something in common. The three are former Silver Slugger winners with top-five MVP finishes, and all are struggling mightily in 2026. Each is on one of the highest-paying contracts in MLB, but they have combined for just 1.7 fWAR this season. All of them have […] The post These 3 Superstars Have Shockingly Fallen Off a Cliff in 2026 appeared first on Just Baseball .
