The #BlueJays rotation is a mess. But, if they can just get a few good innings from Spencer Arrighetti… www.nytimes.com/athletic/758...
An effective Spencer Arrighetti makes the Blue Jays’ path to October much clearer (Gift Article)
It doesn’t have to be pretty. It doesn’t have to be five or six innings. Still, if it helps the Jays win, that’s all that matters right now.

Twins beat the Guardians, moving the #BlueJays 1 game back again. The rollercoaster is inevitable.

George Springer, who is in the #BlueJays lineup tonight, was out doing sprints under the supervision of two training staff before today's game. He has started just one of the Jays' last 4 games entering tonight.
Anthony Santander will continue to play AAA rehab games into the middle of next week. Then it’ll be decision time on if he comes up to the #BlueJays
Dylan Cease will start Sunday for the #BlueJays. Arrighetti and perhaps an opener tomorrow.
Trey Yesavage threw 30 pitches in live ABs yesterday, up to 93 mph and felt good. He’s flying to Toronto, will throw a bullpen on Sunday then hopefully into a Buffalo rehab game next week. There’s a chance he’s back with the #BlueJays after that if all goes well
News: The #BlueJays have designated OF Jesus Sanchez for assignment. OF Rudy Martin Jr. will be active in his place.

The #BlueJays win 4-3. They are over .500 for the first time since April and are, with a Guardians loss, in a postseason spot once again. 19 games left.
Ernie Clement on the #BlueJays recent run: “We're a really good baseball team. It was kind of only a matter of time before things started clicking.”
For the first time this season, the #BlueJays have scored 6+ runs five times in a seven game stretch.
Jameson Taillon left with right elbow discomfort, the #BlueJays say. Certainly not great, considering he's coming back from the same thing. Jays, as they have all year, may be back to figuring out starting pitching.
Anthony Santander took live ABs yesterday (11 swings, 5 ABs). Plan is to do that again early next week, then get into AAA rehab games. He’s building back up as an outfielder. Will have to show enough bat speed, contact etc. to earn his way back to the ‘26 #BlueJays
Trey Yesavage threw a 23-pitch side today. Up to 92 mph. Will throw another on Monday, then a 2-up live on Thursday (30 pitches). If he can tick all those boxes, good chance he's back with the #BlueJays this year. Shane Bieber is playing catch today in KC.
Vladdy, on what his message to the #BlueJays and coaching staff has been lately, through interpreter:
Big roster shuffle for the #BlueJays today: 1B/OF Sean Keys up UTIL Josh Smith up RP Joe Mantiply up RP Ricky Tiedemann up OF Daz Cameron DFA’d
The #BlueJays have acquired RHP Jose Rodriguez from the Dodgers. Rodríguez, 25, has a 3.38 ERA in 34 2/3 innings at AAA Oklahoma this year. High strikeout reliever. He was acquired for Sebastian Rodriguez, a 19 year old Dominican Summer League pitcher.
#BlueJays announce Spencer Miles will open today for Game 1 vs Cleveland. Jays can get a bit creative, with a rested bullpen ahead of a huge series.
The Orioles, league sources say, ended up claiming Luis Robert Jr. The #BlueJays were just ahead of Baltimore in the claim queue, meaning Toronto did not end up submitting a claim.
