Just win, ok? I hate weekday day games, but today it is ok. I kind of needed a day of letting the little aches and pains ease off. Most of the time I think I’m still 30, but occasionally But it would make my aches feel better if we win. Today’s Lineups TIGERS BLUE JAYS […]
Blue Jays righty Jameson Taillon landed on the injured list last week due to elbow inflammation. At the time, Jays manager John Schneider couldn’t definitively rule out a return before season’s end, noting that Taillon was still gathering opinions on that ailing elbow. Taillon himself has now decisively stated that he won’t return in 2026, […]

The Detroit Tigers have been on a roll of late, notching their sixth straight win on Tuesday night against the Toronto Blue Jays with a 10-1 triumph at the Rogers Center. If this keeps up, perhaps AJ Hinch and Co. might just sneak into the playoffs — but do not get your hopes too high […]
Tigers 10 Blue Jays 1 That was less than fun. We’ve done well on bullpen days, but the problem with bullpen days is if it doesn’t go to plan, you can’t really change on the fly. If a pitcher is having a bad day, you really have to use him anyway. Especially if it is […]
TORONTO — Bullpen games as a matter of course are usually a last resort rather than a choice, one the Toronto Blue Jays have been forced into with eight starting pitchers, a full rotation and three-fifths, currently on the injured list. By and large they’ve done well with them, too, covering over various gaps as starter after starter has gone done this season. But the perils of running them as often as they have this season are being exposed in this suddenly costly series against the Detroit T...

The Toronto Blue Jays could be without one of their top defensive players as they continue to battle for the final American League wild-card spot. Blue Jays shortstop Andres Gimenez was announced as “day-to-day” by manager John Schneider following the team’s 10-1 defeat to the Detroit Tigers Tuesday. Schneider said Gimenez was dealing with some hamstring soreness. The 28-year-old started for the Blue Jays at shortstop but wasn’t seen when the team came out for the eighth inning. Ernie Clement ...
A blowout loss is forcing the Toronto Blue Jays to alter their pitching plans for a critical series this weekend. The Blue Jays used six pitchers in Tuesday’s 10-1 loss to the Detroit Tigers, including Spencer Arrighetti, who was supposed to start on Friday against the Texas Rangers. As a result, Dylan Cease and Jose Soriano will each move up a day, with Cease starting Friday and Soriano starting Saturday against the Rangers. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said the decision to pitch Arrighet...
TORONTO — Drew Anderson had his best start since rejoining the Tigers’ rotation on Tuesday, shutting down the Blue Jays over five two-hit innings as they cruised to a 10-1 victory for their sixth straight win. Don’t miss Friday Night Fireworks on Sept. 25! Detroit’s AL Wild Card chances are still slim — they remain 4 1/2 games back of the final spot and entered play Tuesday with 1% playoff odds, according to FanGraphs. But Anderson did all he could to continue the Tigers’ improbable push. Even...
The Blue Jays got encouraging news on two fronts Monday as they try to climb back into the American League wild card picture.

The 2026 Detroit Tigers are not going quietly into that good night. The youth movement, with some assistance from Spencer Torkelson, victimized a pretty shoddy looking Toronto Blue Jays’ staff with 10 hits and eight walks to crush them 10-1 on Roberto Clemente Day. That makes six straight for the Kitties. Drew Anderson got the […]

Anthony Santander has sustained another setback. The Toronto Blue Jays slugger is not in the triple-A lineup for a scheduled rehab appearance Tuesday due to lower back soreness, per Blue Jays manager John Schneider. Santander, 31, has played two games with the Buffalo Bisons as he attempts to return to MLB after left shoulder surgery in February. He has one hit in seven at-bats, a single on Friday, and has not played since. He had been scheduled for rehab games through the middle of the week, ...
Bad news on the doorstep: per Matt Gelb of the Athletic, Jesús Luzardo has been placed on the Injured List. It had been hoped that his shoulder inflammation would only cause him to miss a single start; that more optimistic scenario has not come to pass.

TORONTO – Justin Lehr joined the Toronto Blue Jays as minor-league pitching director two years ago and immediately made strike-throwing and count leverage a priority in the organization’s development of young arms. “With the way technology is on pitch design and the biomech stuff, it can become kind of a trap where you’re getting the cart in front of the horse,” he explained during a weekend visit with the big-league club. “The foundation of pitching is always going to be being in good counts,...
The Chicago White Sox are striving to win the American League Central this season, with just days left to go before the MLB Playoffs. Chicago got a big win on Monday by defeating the Cleveland Guardians, 7-3.

The Detroit Tigers have now won five straight after holding on for a 6-5 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Center on Monday night. The good guys were no-hit through six innings but mounted two late-inning comebacks to seize Game 1 of the three-game series. Toeing the rubber for the Motor City Kitties […]
Each year during the trade deadline, teams become more and more willing to deal some of their potential “blue-chip” prospects as the deadline clock ticks down. In 2026, the dealing of high-end prospect capital began very early on the morning of August 3, as the Blue Jays landed Jose Soriano from the Los Angeles Angels by swapping former first-round shortstop Arjun Nimmala. After a peculiar 2025 season that left Nimmala with a 92 wRC+ across 120 High-A games, Nimmala looked like he was putting ...

The Yankees will officially be playing baseball in October after last night’s loss by Toronto, shortly followed by New York’s own win allowing for a more raucous celebration rather than a somber one.
