MINNESOTA -- The Blue Jays sent out an extremely green lineup on Sunday. Of nine starters, just two had played at least 100 games in the Majors, but being inexperienced doesn’t equate to being unprepared. That lesson comes courtesy of one of those seven relative newbies, 23-year-old second baseman Leo

MINNEAPOLIS -- As Blue Jays manager John Schneider arrived to meet the media on Saturday night, he got existential for just a moment. “Ah, baseball,” he said. “What a game. 24 hours …” Indeed, 24 hours after the Blue Jays were shut out by the Twins, they pounded out a

MINNEAPOLIS -- Considering how he’s felt most of the time after facing the Twins, Kevin Gausman was feeling pretty decent on Friday. The Blue Jays came up short, dropping the series opener, 2-0, at Target Field, but Gausman certainly did his job. The veteran right-hander held the Twins hitless into

BOSTON -- After taking a no-hitter into the ninth his last time out, Bowden Francis stepped to the mound at Fenway Park and almost did it again. In another brilliant performance, one that saw him take a no-hitter into the sixth, he helped his club escape with a 2-0 victory

Back in September 2022, we took swings at guessing who would be the top prospect by the time Opening Day 2024 rolled around. Some were dead-on hits. We said Jackson Holliday “could be in the conversation for No. 1 overall prospect” and Jackson Chourio was on a “rapid ascent toward

BOSTON -- After a shaky first frame, Chris Bassitt settled in and stood tall for the Blue Jays in a pitchers’ duel against Brayan Bello at Fenway Park on Wednesday night. Despite his best efforts, Toronto fell, 3-0, for their second straight loss. Out of the gate, the Sox ripped

BOSTON -- On a night when not a lot was going right for the Blue Jays, rookie Will Wagner stepped to the plate and connected for his first big league home run. Wagner's sixth-inning blast at Fenway Park was part of a 3-for-4 night with two doubles, cementing him as

BOSTON -- It took the Blue Jays until the fifth inning in Monday night’s game to collect their first hit, but once that came, they kicked the door down with a monster frame, helping them finish the day with a 7-3 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. This

BOSTON -- It took a little over two months to complete, but it was worth the wait. The Blue Jays rode a solo home run from George Springer to a 4-1 victory on Monday afternoon in the completion of a rain-suspended game from June 26 at Fenway Park. That homer

BOSTON -- The start of Monday’s continuation of a suspended game between the Red Sox and Blue Jays at Fenway Park was history making. The Blue Jays sent up center fielder Daulton Varsho to pinch-hit for Danny Jansen, who had an 0-1 count when play was stopped due to rain

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays’ rotation doesn’t need its own marketing department. They have one another. Early in Sunday’s 8-2 win over the Angels, which completed an impressive four-game sweep at Rogers Centre, Bowden Francis joined the broadcast to talk about his near-no-hitter from the night before. Francis looked as

TORONTO -- Dave Stieb still sits at the table alone, an empty chair next to him. It was open for Bowden Francis, the latest Blue Jays pitcher to look a no-hitter in the eye until the very last inning. Francis lost his no-hitter in the ninth on Saturday, a fate

TORONTO -- The waning days of the 2024 season need to matter for something, and if the wins don’t mean much, the moments must. Addison Barger’s walk-off home run on Friday night at Rogers Centre gave the 24-year-old rookie his first major moment in the big leagues, charging around the

The Major League Baseball season is a marathon, giving players plenty of time to make adjustments and rewrite their personal narrative. In the weeks since the All-Star break, we’ve seen a number of hitters do just that. Some have rebounded in a big way after struggling prior to the break.

No one can deny 2024 just hasn’t been the Blue Jays’ year. It’s been a down season (marred by injury) for star shortstop Bo Bichette and a tough year for the rotation and bullpen, too. Toronto fell below .500 for good on April 30, and a Trade Deadline sale that

TORONTO -- Daulton Varsho has mastered the moment when man meets wall. There's a choreography to it all, but first, there’s a decision Varsho needs to make: Does he have time to control his climb, or does he need to buckle up for a car crash? “He’s not afraid of

TORONTO -- No pitch is safe from Ernie Clement this week. Even the ones at his eyeballs. Clement homered in his third consecutive game Thursday night in the Blue Jays' 5-3 win over the Angels, but this was one of the most unique shots you’ll see all season. The 96.7
