Blue Jays News

The Blue Jays' struggles were evident in their recent 2-7 loss to the Astros, pushing their record to a disappointing 53-61. With ten players on the injured list, including key contributors like George Springer and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the team's depth is being severely tested. Yet, amidst this adversity, there’s a glimmer of hope as rookie Ricky Tiedemann made his rehab debut, tossing a scoreless frame for Buffalo. On a brighter note, the Jays added righty Matt Waldron to their roster, aiming to bolster their pitching staff as they navigate a tough playoff race. Celebrating the legacy of John Olerud today reminds us of better days in Blue Jays history, but this team must find a spark to ignite a turnaround.

Blue Jays Claim Matt Waldron
The Blue Jays claimed righty Matt Waldron off waivers from the Padres, the team announced Wednesday. Lefty Patrick Corbin was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot.
