Braves 1 Jays 3 Our pitchers were terrific today: Chris Bassitt: 5 innings, 3 hits, 2 walks and 10 strikeouts. He threw 90 pitches, but seemed to tired a bit in the fifth.
There’s some good news on the injury front for the Toronto Blue Jays. After striking out two batters in Friday’s game, left-handed reliever Brendon Little left the game with an apparent injury.
Chris Bassitt closed out the spring the way he played all along, looking strong. The Pirates managed only a double and a walk through five innings. He slipped a little in the sixth, loading the bases with one out on a single and a pair of walks, and then a sac fly plated the only run he’d allow.
With just over two and a half weeks until Opening Day on March 27th, the Toronto Blue Jays continue to filter out the big league side of camp and narrow down the roster.
As we get closer and closer to Spring Training, Toronto’s major league roster is almost done taking shape. The Blue Jays appear to still be in search of further lineup upgrades, but adding another left-handed reliever to the bullpen is an avenue that they could also explore.
Well, we’ve made it to February alive. It’s still 10 days until pitchers and catchers report, though, and a little over two weeks until the full squad practices.
Brendon Little is a 28-year-old left-handed reliever the Jays picked up from the Cubs for cash in November of 2023. He was the Cubs' first-round draft pick in 2017 (the pick before the Jays grabbed Nate Pearson, who is now a Cub).
As it stands, Brendon Little is the only projected left-handed reliever in the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen. This is Blue Jays Nation’s annual 40-man Roster Review, where we look at the players on the Blue Jays’ 40-man roster.
Despite their 74-88 record, there were some positives to glean from the Toronto Blue Jays’ 2024 campaign. Vladimir Guerero Jr. re-asserting himself as one of the premiere hitters in the league, the breakout of Bowden Francis, and second-half bounce backs by Kevin Gausman and Alejandro Kirk.
Another loss. At least they scored a little today, but not a lot, and the pitchers continued to struggle. In other bad news, Daulton Varsho appeared to injure his back on a swing in the ninth inning.
THIS ARTICLE IS PRESENTED BY bet365 The Toronto Blue Jays have added another pitcher to the injured list, with closer Jordan Romano going down with what the club has described as right elbow inflammation.
Jordan Romano has been put on the IL. They are saying elbow inflammation. An MRI showed no structural damage, which is good. But we won’t see him for a couple of weeks at best.
From a strength to a weakness. On Thursday morning, the Blue Jays Twitter account noted that Bowden Francis had been placed on the 15-day Injured List due to Right Forearm Extensor Tendinitis.
One day after the 2024 season began in the major leagues, Friday marked Opening Day across the Triple-A level, meaning several highly touted prospects were in action, including left-handed starter Ricky Tiedemann.
If you want offence, you should’ve watched the Blue Jays on Saturday! Canada’s team took on the Philadelphia Phillies, defeating them 13-5 to bring their record to 6-8.
Brendon Little answers the question, “What player on the Jays' 40-man did Tom forget about?” We picked Little up in a trade from the Cubs in exchange for cash back in November.
We’re officially back! The Toronto Blue Jays played their first baseball game of the year 2024 on Saturday afternoon in Dunedin and wound up on the losing side of a 14-13 rollercoaster ride with the Philadelphia Phillies.
