TORONTO -- When Dylan Cease pitches like that, any base hit against him feels like a miracle. The Blue Jays returned home Friday reeling after four straight losses and a brutal visit to Tropicana Field, but Cease was a one-man show, single-handedly lifting his team and getting it back on

TORONTO -- A difficult year has taken another bad turn for José Berríos, who will meet with Dr. Keith Meister on Tuesday for an in-person evaluation. Berríos has been rehabbing from a stress fracture in his right elbow, but it’s more accurate to say that Berríos is “pitching through” the

TORONTO -- Ernie Clement’s first word was “ball.” With one word, he told his parents what their lives would soon revolve around. He’s not far from home now, having grown up in Rochester, N.Y., but Clement has come such a long way from that kid in the backyard. On one

MINNEAPOLIS -- Tyler Heineman was removed from Sunday’s game against the Twins after popping up with the bases loaded to end a rally in the sixth, but he’s not injured. “Manager’s decision,” John Schneider said, and that’s as far as he wanted to go. “I’ll keep it to manager’s decision.

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Blue Jays didn’t thrive in Minneapolis this weekend, but they survived. Even after Twins ace Joe Ryan left in the very first inning with elbow soreness, the Blue Jays couldn’t cobble much together against the Twins bullpen in a 4-3 loss until Kazuma Okamoto went deep in

MINNEAPOLIS -- George Springer left Saturday’s game against the Twins in significant pain after he took a pitch off his left foot, the exact spot where he fractured his left big toe last month. “Bad luck” feels like an undersell here. This is cruel luck, a slider from Connor Prielipp

MINNEAPOLIS -- The Blue Jays’ best hitter and best pitcher each poses a big, philosophical question. Each year, we tend to land back on the same question with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Would you rather have a .325 hitter with 25 home runs or a .275 hitter with 40 home runs?

MINNEAPOLIS -- These are the types of wins that allow the Blue Jays to feel like themselves again. An 11-4 win over the Twins at Target Field with contributions from up and down the lineup is just what the Blue Jays needed during a stretch in which some hitters have

MINNEAPOLIS -- When the Blue Jays are playing their brand of baseball, their wins tend to have a lot of ingredients. This isn’t typically a team built on one-man shows, even if Kazuma Okamoto could have beaten the Twins singlehandedly on Friday at Target Field. Now 1-0 in May, though,

MINNEAPOLIS -- To understand Kazuma Okamoto's impact on the Blue Jays, don’t watch the ball fly out of the yard or his slow trot around the bases. Instead, watch what happens when Okamoto gets back to the dugout.

MINNEAPOLIS -- It was cold, quick and quiet. The Blue Jays didn’t exactly carry over their momentum to Target Field Thursday night in a 7-1 loss to the Twins, as their offense was muzzled by a Bailey Ober who didn’t even touch 90 mph. This is what mattered from Day

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays aren’t out of the storm just yet, but the clouds are beginning to clear. One day after Trey Yesavage returned and led the Blue Jays to a win, it was George Springer’s turn to bounce back from the IL. The Blue Jays’ 8-1 win moved

TORONTO -- Another day, another big return for the Blue Jays. George Springer has been activated from the 10-day injured list after breaking his left big toe on April 11, welcome news to a lineup that finally gets its leadoff man back. In a corresponding move, Eloy Jiménez has been

TORONTO -- Every two weeks throughout the season, the Blue Jays like to hold something they call the “State of the Squad.” It’s not as corporate as it sounds. There are no keynote speakers or drab conference rooms, just a bunch of Blue Jays personnel in the same room talking

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays are long overdue for good news in a season that’s been a whirlwind of the bad stuff. Finally, Toronto has a wave of players returning from the injured list instead of piling onto it. Trey Yesavage’s 2026 debut in Tuesday’s 3-0 win over the Red

TORONTO -- What does Trey Yesavage have in store for his second act? How can he clear the bar he’s already set so high? Yesavage is the pitching prospect we’ll compare big-league debuts to forever in Toronto. There are Blue Jays pitching prospects who haven’t even been born yet who

TORONTO -- Finally, Trey Yesavage is back. The Blue Jays’ No. 1 prospect and the breakout star of their 2025 World Series run will be activated off the injured list Tuesday to make his 2026 debut against the Red Sox, manager John Schneider said Saturday.

TORONTO -- When the Blue Jays run into a pitcher as hot as Ranger Suarez was Monday night, every sentence tends to end in a “but”. The lineup didn’t do much at all… but Suarez was nearly unhittable. Dylan Cease couldn’t carry his dominant early innings deep enough into his

TORONTO -- If there’s one thing Canadians love more than hockey, it might just be Ernie Clement. Clement’s replica hockey jersey giveaway on Monday night brought out thousands of fans who lined up hours before gates opened, stretching well outside of the stadium and blocks down the neighboring streets. Not

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays placed Max Scherzer on the 15-day IL with right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation on Monday, yet another blow to a rotation that has nearly as many injured pitchers as healthy ones. Scherzer has been dealing with this forearm tendinitis since his second start

TORONTO -- Baseball players love traditions, whether they want to call them daily habits or full-blown superstitions. They connect players, and as Kazuma Okamoto has grown closer to some of his Blue Jays teammates, they’ve started a new tradition of their own.

TORONTO -- That’s what the odd Blue Jays win is supposed to feel like, smooth, steady and confident. In the middle of such a chaotic start to their 2026 season, these are also the types of wins the Blue Jays need more of, led by an offense that controlled the

TORONTO -- Another day, another injury for the Blue Jays. This time, it was Nathan Lukes leaving the game early with left hamstring discomfort after running out a double in the first inning of Friday's 8-6 loss. Lukes’ double was a breath of fresh air after the Guardians launched two

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays have called up No. 10 prospect Yohendrick Pinango in place of Nathan Lukes, who was placed on the 10-day IL with a left hamstring strain. Lukes left Friday’s 8-6 loss to the Guardians after injuring his hamstring running out a double and underwent an MRI
