PHOENIX -- Daulton Varsho was removed from Friday night’s game with left knee discomfort and remained out of the lineup Saturday, but the Blue Jays are optimistic that they’ve avoided anything more serious. Varsho was removed between the top and bottom of the third inning, but it wasn’t initially clear

PHOENIX -- There may well come a day when the Blue Jays, riding high in the middle of the season or in the thick of a postseason race, look back on these as “the bad days”. For now, they’re still in them.

PHOENIX -- You’ll have to wait another week to see Trey Yesavage back in the big leagues. Yesavage will make another rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, which will surely be his last one before rejoining the Blue Jays back in Toronto after their series on the West Coast against

MILWAUKEE -- While much of the attention has been on the upcoming return of Trey Yesavage, José Berríos is coming close behind. Berríos made his first rehab start Thursday night with Single-A Dunedin, but is a bit more stretched out than some starters are when they begin an assignment. He

MILWAUKEE -- No, you didn’t just watch a replay of the last game. The Blue Jays' 2-1 loss Thursday at American Family Field was frustrating for its own reasons, even if it felt entirely too similar to the one the night before.

MILWAUKEE -- Blue Jays fans have been waiting for that next duo of top prospects. There may never be another era like “Vladdy and Bo” when those two came up through the system, but in JoJo Parker and Juan Sanchez, there’s something worth watching down in Single-A again. Sanchez has

MILWAUKEE -- It felt like a low-stakes playoff game in the middle of April, some well-pitched, airtight baseball that chugged along until someone finally blinked. The Blue Jays’ 2-1 loss will be hung on an ugly eighth inning where none of the bounces went their way, but the “1” in

MILWAUKEE -- Kazuma Okamoto is still in the early days of his transition to Major League Baseball, where every single thing is new. At each stadium the Blue Jays visit, it’s his first time there. Each city, each hotel, each restaurant and airport, it’s his first time. Just about every

MILWAUKEE -- Help is on the way. Finally. Trey Yesavage threw 71 pitches (42 strikes) in what could be his final rehab start Wednesday as he works back from a shoulder impingement that delayed the start of his season. That pitch count, along with 4 1/3 innings for Triple-A Buffalo,

MILWAUKEE -- It feels like everything is falling into place for Davis Schneider. He keeps showing up as the right player in the right place at the right time.

MILWAUKEE -- Outside, the game began with a tornado warning and ended with a flash flood warning. Inside the dry confines of American Family Field, lightning flashing through the windows all night long, the Blue Jays weathered their own storm and survived.

TORONTO -- Remember early March? It was only a few decades ago. Max Scherzer had just signed back with the Blue Jays, and it wasn’t clear if there would even be a rotation spot for him. That was back when Trey Yesavage was still supposed to be ready for the

TORONTO -- Already with a full MLB rotation on the IL, the Blue Jays are unfortunately beginning to build out their IL’s lineup. George Springer is the latest name added to the list after CT scans on Saturday confirmed a fracture in his left big toe. Up in his place

TORONTO -- George Springer left Saturday’s game against the Twins with a left big toe fracture, the Blue Jays announced, another blow in a season that already feels cursed by injuries. Springer fouled a pitch off his left foot in the third inning and immediately went down in pain, but

TORONTO -- The image captured the early days of this Blue Jays season so well, Patrick Corbin and Brandon Valenzuela walking in from the bullpen together. One was in Triple-A a week ago. The other wasn’t even on a team a week ago.

TORONTO -- Brandon Valenzuela has his first big moment in the big leagues, a rocket to right field that gave the Blue Jays the lead and Valenzuela his first career MLB home run. This is what Blue Jays baseball looks like when it’s all working, from down 4-0 to a

TORONTO -- Finally, everyone can exhale. The long-lost 2025 Blue Jays have been found again, even if only for a moment.

TORONTO -- Dylan Cease is bringing back the blues. Cease’s warmup song is one of the most unique in baseball -- and it might just be the best -- a performance of a blues classic that can be traced all the way back to an after-hours club in Toronto in

TORONTO -- The biggest cheer of the night came when manager John Schneider did what so many Blue Jays fans have wanted to do this week. He threw something and yelled. Schneider was ejected in the fifth inning for arguing a balk call on starter Kevin Gausman, but this was

TORONTO -- Add another name to the list. Tuesday, it’s Addison Barger headed to the IL, another day of bad news for the Blue Jays. Barger actually injured both of his ankles on the same play over the weekend in Chicago, but it’s a left ankle sprain that lands him

TORONTO -- Alejandro Kirk will undergo surgery to repair his fractured left thumb Tuesday, John Schneider announced, and while the Blue Jays will have a better feel for his timeline after that procedure, this still isn’t the news anyone was hoping for. Kirk fractured his thumb Friday in Chicago when

TORONTO -- Over five decades of baseball, the major moments begin to stack up, each era having its own version of “where were you when …” Early generations of Blue Jays fans tell stories of Exhibition Stadium and those cold, steel bleachers on Lake Ontario. Then came those great teams

Last November, Miguel Rojas experienced the kind of moment that kids dream about while playing baseball in the backyard: He saved his team's season with a game-tying homer in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the World Series, setting the stage for Los Angeles' comeback victory. Five months later,
