Schneider looking more like the 'hunter' Blue Jays want him to be at the plate
BOSTON -- Back where it all began, Davis Schneider finally looked like himself again. Half of Schneider’s identity has been missing this season, leaving him a lopsided hitter. He’s a master of the strike zone, which has never left. Even when the Blue Jays optioned him to Triple-A in late
Springer's milestone homer the cherry on top of Blue Jays' HR barrage
BOSTON -- These are the simple nights the Blue Jays need, when they roll into town and beat a team they should beat. The Blue Jays looked like the better team in all aspects of Tuesday’s 6-1 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park, with Dylan Cease outdueling Payton
Tiedemann's comeback begins with first appearance in 706 days
BOSTON -- It had been 706 days since Ricky Tiedemann last climbed a mound and threw a pitch. No, not in a bullpen, not in a pitching lab and not to a hitter wearing the same colors as him. A real, live game where they keep the score. Finally, it

MLB's slowest fastball gets hitters to swing the latest. But how?
Eight years into Tyler Rogers' career, you know the deal by now. The submarine-style Blue Jays right-hander throws the slowest fastball in the game (83.1 mph) and an upside-down slider, and he does all that throwing like literally no one else does. It doesn’t look like it should work, but
