Blue Jays Set to Promote Versatile Infield Prospect

McAdoo, 24, was acquired in the 2024 trade deadline deal that sent infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The former 13th-round pick ranks No. 26 in Toronto’s farm system, according to MLB Pipeline , and is a distant cousin of Basketball Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo.

Through 202 Triple-A plate appearances this season, McAdoo has produced a .250/.356/.436 slash line with eight home runs, 27 RBIs and six stolen bases. He primarily splits his time defensively between the two corner infield spots, though he has made a pair of starts at second base within the past week.

Toronto recently sent down utilityman Davis Schneider , a move that left Lenyn Sosa as the club’s lone reserve infielder. Much like Schneider, Sosa has struggled offensively, producing a .480 OPS over 84 plate appearances. The 26-year-old is out of minor league options, meaning he would have to clear waivers if the team attempts to send him down.

The addition of McAdoo brings another right-handed bat to a Blue Jays roster that is predominantly left-handed. While he is blocked by Vladimir Guerrero Jr . at first base and Kazuma Okamoto at third base, his defensive versatility and offensive pop should help him earn playing time off the bench.
