Blue Jays Give 30-Year-Old Outfielder Long-Awaited First MLB Chance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Toronto Blue Jays added Rudy Martin Jr. to their major league roster on Friday, with the outfielder expected to be active against the Baltimore Orioles. Toronto designated Jesús Sánchez for assignment in the corresponding move. It has not been a quick or easy path for Martin, who has spent more than a decade bouncing around professional baseball, including stops in Mexico and winter ball, before finally earning his first shot in the big leagues. As a 25th-round pick in the 2014 MLB Draft, Ma
Taylor Rogers' Twins Reunion Has Been Complicated (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Taylor Rogers has had a rocky reunion with the Minnesota Twins. The veteran left-hander owns a 5.11 ERA through 50 appearances this season after returning to the organization on a one-year deal, where he spent the first six years of his Major League career. For a former All-Star closer, the surface-level results have been disappointing. But a dig through his underlying statistics paints a different picture. Rogers has a 3.83 FIP, more than a full run below his ERA. His 19.2% strikeout rate is do
On This Day: Former Twin Nearly Spoiled Jim Thome's 600th Home Run (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Aug. 15, 2011, Jim Thome launched career home runs No. 599 and 600 in consecutive at-bats during Minnesota's 9–6 victory, becoming just the eighth player in MLB history to reach 600. Fifteen years later, only nine players have ever joined the club. The circumstances surrounding those two swings made the milestone even stranger. Hours before the game, Minnesota traded outfielder Delmon Young to Detroit. Young wasted little time hurting his former team, homering off Francisco Liriano in the fir
Blue Jays Prospect Dub Gleed Is Unlocking Power That Was Always There (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On Tuesday, Dub Gleed went 2-for-4 for Double-A New Hampshire, extending his hitting streak to 12 games despite the Fisher Cats' 12–1 loss to the Somerset Patriots. The 23-year-old has now hit 16 home runs across High-A Vancouver and New Hampshire this season after managing just two in 71 games during his first full professional campaign in 2025. The difference is dramatic. Gleed produced a .095 isolated-power mark last season before more than doubling it to roughly .209 this year. FanGraphs pro
Former First-Round Pick Arjun Nimmala Gives Blue Jays Reason for Optimism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Toronto Blue Jays have spent much of 2026 searching for something that suggests better days are ahead. Toronto entered Thursday at 46-56, sat last in the American League East and had lost six of its previous seven games. The offense remains flat, the club continues to fall out of the playoff picture and a year that began with postseason expectations has quickly become more about the future. Arjun Nimmala is providing one reason to remain interested in what comes next. The 20-year-old shortst
