BOSTON -- Just hours before Max Scherzer was scheduled to make a crucial start against the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday, the Blue Jays placed the veteran starter back on the IL with back spasms. This is Scherzer’s second trip to the IL this season after he previously

BOSTON -- Is it finally time for Shane Bieber to make his 2026 debut? Well, it depends. Bieber made his fifth rehab start on Wednesday afternoon with Triple-A Buffalo, throwing 80 pitches over five innings. The line wasn’t sharp, with five runs on seven hits, four walks and a pair

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

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

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

TORONTO -- What a night, what a story, what a catcher. Brandon Valenzuela has kicked the door down. Tuesday’s walk-off single in the Blue Jays’ 3-2 win over the Phillies at Rogers Centre was his finest moment yet. But the 25-year-old rookie is showing that he’s ready to be Alejandro

TORONTO — It took a while for the Blue Jays’ offense to join the party, but what an entrance it was. Rookie catcher Brandon Valenzuela was the walk-off hero in the bottom of the ninth in Tuesday’s 3-2 win over the Phillies, singling into left field before his teammates mobbed

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays need Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to get back to his old ways offensively, so they’re open to some new ideas. Guerrero’s name was atop the lineup when Tuesday’s card was posted, his first time batting leadoff since Sept. 29, 2024, the final game in a lost

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays have slayed a few giants this season, Paul Skenes and Chris Sale included, but they couldn’t conquer Cristopher Sánchez. A short night from Patrick Corbin left the Blue Jays with an uphill climb against Sánchez, who’s already hard enough to beat on the best of

TORONTO -- There’s a storm coming. The clouds haven’t darkened yet and the thunder is still far in the distance, but it’s been promised so long and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finally feels it in the air now. He’s sure of it. Standing by his locker Sunday evening after the Blue

TORONTO -- Ernie Clement has the city barking. That’s his thing. They call him the “Ern Dog,” and all the man has done lately is hit. In a season that still feels stuck in the mud, Clement has been the buzzing engine, the constant source of life so stubbornly trying

TORONTO -- Kazuma Okamoto has gone country; look at them boots. When the Japanese third baseman walked to the plate this homestand, his usual walk-up song -- “Kibo no Wadachi” by Southern All Stars -- had a new partner every other plate appearance. In his second and fourth at-bats of

TORONTO -- These bullpen days aren’t anyone’s "Plan A," but they’ve kept the Blue Jays afloat longer than anyone could have expected. With Ernie Clement starring on the offensive side, launching a three-run home run in the third inning, the Blue Jays had all hands on deck in Saturday’s 6-4
