The Yankees just completed their first sweep since the second week of July, taking all three games in Baltimore to finish their road trip 4-2. They return to the Bronx to kick off a grueling home stand with crucial series against the Blue Jays, Astros, and Red Sox. The next 10 days will provide a […]
The Jays arrive in Yankee Stadium today to take on the current top wildcard. As things currently stand, it’ll be the last team above .500 they play this season. From Tuesday on out they play, in descending order of current record, the Rangers (63-65), Guardians (62-66), Tigers (61-66), Reds (61-67), Orioles (2x) (61-67), Mariners (60-68), […]
New York Yankees infielder Ryan McMahon was placed on the injured list on Friday, the team announced. McMahon is dealing with a thumb sprain and ultimately landed on the 10-day IL. The move is retroactive to Thursday. Infielder/outfielder Max Schuemann was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. McMahon’s injury situation will be worth closely […] The post Yankees place Ryan McMahon on IL before Blue Jays series appeared first on ClutchPoints .
It’s crazy to think that people were questioning the Toronto Blue Jays when they signed Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract. Now, in August, the only question should be, “Is he winning the AL Cy Young?” It’s a two-man race for the best pitcher in the American League, and it’s definitely a close […] The post Dylan Cease Is Staring Down His First Cy Young Award appeared first on Just Baseball .
Jon Heyman gives the latest update on Bo Bichette's future with the Mets.
Two defensive miscues in the outfield punctuated the Toronto Blue Jays’ 7-6 loss on Wednesday at Tropicana Field. The culprit? Jesus Sanchez. The $6.8 million outfielder is adapting to his duties in left field, and the blunders are not making it any easier. However, he appears to have his manager’s backing. “Mistakes are going to […] The post “Mistakes are Going to Happen”: Blue Jays’ Manager Defends $6.8M Star After Costly Blunder appeared first on EssentiallySports .
George Springer turned his frustration into production. But the Toronto Blue Jays dugout had already boiled over before his bat started the response. His check swing produced a borderline strike call. But as soon as the umpire offered his decision, assistant hitting coach Lou Iannotti made his feelings known. That earned him the very first […] The post Blue Jays Coach Ejected After Arguing Over George Springer’s Controversial Strike Call appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Eighteen years ago, the Blue Jays traded Robinzon Diaz to the Pirates in exchange for Jose Bautista. At the time, the trade received little fanfare—even Bluebird Banter didn’t cover it immediately. Only later did we discuss its significance. In hindsight, it became the best trade of J.P. Ricciardi’s tenure. The news did get into a […]
Having wrapped up a road trip with a series victory in Baltimore, the Yankees are now set to return home this weekend. While every game at this stage of the season matters, the Blue Jays are coming to town seemingly rejuvenated in the playoff race. These two teams met just last weekend in Toronto. The […]
The Yankees needed a pick-me-up after losing two of three to Toronto over the weekend, and sweeping a Baltimore squad that is among the muck of Wild Card hopefuls was as good as they were going to get. The pitching remained solid, with an off-his-game Will Warren still giving them four innings and one run […]
The Toronto Blue Jays are hanging tough in the postseason race, as they moved to 63-66 on the season following their 6-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. This was a solid bounce-back performance for the Blue Jays after some disastrous fielding let Max Scherzer down in a 7-6 loss on Wednesday. Many have stepped […] The post Blue Jays’ Brandon Valenzuela sends ‘dad’ reaction to Max Scherzer’s praise appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Veteran utilityman Jon Berti is calling it a career. The 36-year-old speedster made the announcement today on Instagram. Berti thanked his former teams, teammates, coaches, agents and fans in a heartfelt statement: After a lot of thought and consideration, I have decided to retire from professional baseball. It’s been a hell of a journey, full […]
Shane Bieber last faced the Rays on July 23rd in what was potentially an audition to acquire the veteran pitcher. In that game, he scattered three hits and a single run as Toronto won the contest 3-1. The Jays did some buying and selling at the deadline, and Bieber remained with the club to the […]
Blue Jays 5 Rays 1 What a nice game. It never seemed to be in doubt, even though we didn’t really blow the Rays out. Shane Bieber was terrific. Likely the best we’ve seen him in a Blue Jays uniform. He went seven innings, allowing just four hits, no walks with seven strikeouts, with just […]
The Jays have an update on Vladdy before their weekend series in the Bronx.
Game three in the ballpark of the damned. This is game #129. It is starting to get serious. I spent a fair bit of time, this morning, cleaning a fish tank. I had a few fish in it and then we went on holiday, with my son looking after the house. Well, the filter stopped […]
There isn’t much for news this morning. They are telling us that Brett Bateman’s injury isn’t serious, he likely won’t go on the IL. I feel like ‘not serious’ tends to mean ‘season ending’ but I’m not going to jump to that. The problem with having a guy on the active roster who can’t play […]
Sometimes we get so focused on our own bubble we don’t pay attention to the outside world. That can cause us to lose perspective and not see the forest for the trees. So, for a moment, let’s zoom out. While the Phillies have had a dizzying 2026 season thus far, they are not the only […]
The Yankees kept pace in a crowded American League playoff picture Thursday, felling the Orioles 5-3 on the strength of an eighth-inning rally to take their third straight. It was a mixed bag for their competition, with an intra-division matchup between the first place Rays and a Blue Jays squad still very much in the […]
The Toronto Blue Jays may have stumbled into one of baseball’s most underrated and impressive relievers this season, and he’s been an incredible part of Toronto’s very strong bullpen. His name is Spencer Miles, and he was on absolutely nobody’s radar coming into the 2026 season. Now, he’s transformed into a bona fide dominant reliever […] The post Spencer Miles’ Numbers Are Proving Which Role Fits Him Best appeared first on Just Baseball .
It always seems like the whenever the Toronto Blue Jays make the trek to One Tropicana Drive, some kind of miscue results in the Rays winning a close ballgame due to the result of it. The same case can be made Tuesday night. In a 2-1 ballgame in the fourth inning, courtesy to a Yandy […]
As he goes, so do the Blue Jays.
Plus, if you're looking for folks to root for, a catcher in the Blue Jays organization that's more than half a haiku. The post MLU: Of Cams and Campbells appeared first on Baseball Prospectus .
Jays 6 Rays 7 So, the game changed on two fly balls to left. In the bottom of the first, with one out, Junior Caminero hit a fly down the left field line, Jesús Sánchez was going into foul territory to get it, then it landed fair. Very weird, because a ball going foul will […]
We might as well make it two in a row against the Rays. Getting 10 runs again would be a good thing too. Half a game out of a wild card spot seems unbelievable considering where we were at the start of the month. Vlad is going to play a rehab game tomorrow in Dunedin. […]
