Here’s the Blue Jays’ Spring Breakout roster (Sat., 1 p.m. ET)

DUNEDIN, Fla. -- You’ve already gotten a sneak peek at the future of the Blue Jays recently, with so many of their regulars off competing at the World Baseball Classic. Now, you’ll get to see how the Blue Jays’ best prospects stack up against the rest of baseball.

Here’s what you need to know about Spring Breakout:

What is Spring Breakout?

In 2026, MLB Spring Breakout will again be a four-day event showcasing baseball’s future -- the current stars of Minor League Baseball – in 16 exhibition games played between teams composed of each MLB organization’s top prospects. The third edition will be held from Thursday through Sunday at Grapefruit and Cactus League stadiums.

In 2027, Spring Breakout will be expanded into a single-elimination tournament format, with champions being crowned in both the Grapefruit and Cactus leagues.

When is the Blue Jays’ game?

The Blue Jays face the Phillies on Saturday, with first pitch scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET. This is a road game, but it’s a short trip from Dunedin over to the Phillies’ home in Clearwater at BayCare Ballpark.

Notable position players

SS JoJo Parker (No. 2 prospect) -- Toronto’s eighth overall pick from the 2025 Draft, Parker brings an exciting combination of talent and maturity, the perfect recipe for a prospect who could move quickly. At 19, he’s already one of the best bats in the system.

SS Arjun Nimmala (No. 3) -- The Blue Jays’ 2023 first-round Draft pick bulked up over the offseason, better preparing himself for the grind of a long season. We know Nimmala has top-end talent, but this is the season for him to put up numbers across a full six months.

3B/SS Juan Sanchez (No. 7) -- If you don’t know the name already, you’re about to. Just 18 years old, Sanchez is a gifted hitter with maturity at the plate. It’s already easy to envision Sanchez and Parker playing alongside one another as they climb the ladder.

SS Josh Kasevich (No. 13) -- Kasevich has been one of the best stories in camp, the “half-robot” who just keeps winning over the Blue Jays’ coaching staff. He’s one of the best bets among Toronto’s Top 30 Prospects to develop into a big leaguer, and that could happen by mid-2026 if he continues on this trajectory.

Notable pitchers

The Blue Jays’ pitching development has taken some great strides in recent years. Top prospect Trey Yesavage won’t be pitching in the Spring Breakout game, but there are some exciting waves of talent coming behind him.

RHP Gage Stanifer (No. 6) -- Stanifer was also overshadowed by Yesavage at times in 2025, but he deserves his own spotlight. Stanifer struck out 161 batters over 110 innings and could pitch his way into the big league conversation for 2027 with a strong season.

LHP Adam Macko (No. 21) -- Fresh off an impressive performance with Team Canada in the World Baseball Classic, Macko is back in Blue Jays camp and has an opportunity to put himself in the big league depth conversation at some point in 2026. Expect him to pitch in a bulk role this year, going once through the lineup, which should help to keep him healthy and let his stuff play up.

LHP Javen Coleman (No. 23) -- A nondrafted gem from 2025, Coleman is strictly a reliever and could blaze through the system if he keeps pitching like he did in his debut, when he posted a 3.00 ERA with 85 strikeouts over 54 innings.
