Seven games into the 2026 season, Blue Jays starting catcher Alejandro Kirk went down with a thumb injury. Right away, it seemed like a long-term IL stint was forthcoming.
The Toronto Blue Jays just couldn’t dig themselves out of the early hole. On Wednesday, they played the series finale and rubber match against the Philadelphia Phillies, dropping the contest 7-4 despite a late rally attempt.
How many of the 53 Major League Baseball players not born in the United States of America with 250 or more career home runs can you name in seven minutes?
The Jays’ International Free Agent pipeline has been a bit down in recent years. Vladimir Guerrero jr. and Alejandro Kirk are homegrown stars who signed at 16, but they’re it on the roster right now.
Not every all-timer has instant success at the next level. For many baseball players, it takes a few bumps in the road out of the gate before they ever reach stardom.

The only two things rarer in modern-day baseball than the four-homer game is the Triple Crown and the unassisted triple play. The former is, of course, done over an entire season, while there's a large level of lucky in the unassisted triple play.
The Toronto Blue Jays have hovered around the .500 mark all season long. The defending American League champions have not had the season many expected, but there is still plenty of time to turn it around.

Max Scherzer is back. Shortly before Wednesday evening’s game, the Toronto Blue Jays activated Scherzer from the 15-day injured, and the 41-year-old will make his first start with the club since April 24. Scherzer was placed on the IL on April 27 due to right forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation.
The Blue Jays announced that right-hander Connor Seabold has been designated for assignment. That opens an active roster spot for Max Scherzer, who has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start tonight’s game.
It is somewhat hard to fathom what the Toronto Blue Jays rookie catcher Brandon Valenzuela is doing for this ballclub right now, and as cliché as it sounds, this was a "blessing in disguise" type of situation because had Alejandro Kirk not been injured, who knows when fans would have seen him play.
The Toronto Blue Jays need first basemanVladimir Guerrero Jr. to step up. They're currently 33-35 and eight games out of first place in the American League East.
Even though the Toronto Blue Jays still sit under .500 at this point in the season, they are far from being considered "sellers" when the trade deadline comes around.
