Blue Jays News

The Toronto Blue Jays are riding a wave of momentum as they secured a nail-biting 4-3 win over the Kansas City Royals, solidifying their grip on the last Wild Card spot. After a dominant 9-2 victory in the series opener, the Jays are a scorching 7-1 in their last eight games, showcasing their resilience in crunch time despite Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s struggles this season. The club's depth is being tested further with Jameson Taillon heading back to the injured list due to elbow inflammation, but the call-up of Ricky Tiedemann offers a glimmer of hope. Meanwhile, Kazuma Okamoto continues to shine, proving critical in the team's recent success. With just a handful of games left, the Jays have the chance to make a playoff push, and every win counts.

Jays Roster Move: Tiedemann Up, Taillon IL
The title tells it all, but SB has this idea that I should put something into a post, not just a title. Seems strange to me. Jameson Taillon was put back on the IL with right elbow inflammation. Ricky Tiedemann has been called back from Buffalo. Tiedemann would have had to stay down for ten […]

There’s still time for Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to salvage part of his season
With a handful of games left in the season, the Toronto Blue Jays still have something left to play for. They are fighting for their playoff lives, by virtue of the American League being overall atrocious.   The Blue Jays are just barely hanging on, without much credit to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. It’s been a…
