Spencer Miles Spencer Miles Back in bullpen
Tue, Jul 14, 2026, 9:46 AM
Miles struck out a batter and allowed one hit and two walks over two scoreless innings of relief in Saturday's 8-7 loss to the Padres.
Analysis: Miles made a four-inning start in his prior appearance July 7 in San Francisco, but he shifted back to the bullpen for the Blue Jays' final series of the first half while the team didn't have a need for a fifth starter. The fifth spot in the rotation will come up again July 21 versus Tampa Bay, but Max Scherzer (back) could be ready to return from the injured list by then to fill the void. |

Jesus Sanchez Jesus Sanchez Closing in on rehab assignment
Tue, Jul 14, 2026, 9:27 AM
The Blue Jays announced July 6 that Sanchez (ankle) has been running and hitting at the club's complex in Florida, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Sanchez hasn't yet been cleared to begin a rehab assignment in the rookie-level Florida Complex League during the All-Star break, but he could travel north following the break to receive a reassessment from Blue Jays doctors before reporting to a higher-level affiliate for game action. After Sanchez was placed on the shelf June 27 due to a right ankle sprain, the Blue Jays initially turned Yohendrick Pinango as their primary left fielder, Jonatan Clase as since supplanted Pinango as Sanchez's main replacement in the corner outfield. |

Yimi Garcia Yimi Garcia Gets back on mound
Tue, Jul 14, 2026, 9:22 AM
Garcia (elbow/neck/biceps) was cleared to throw a bullpen session late last week, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Garcia has taken the next step forward in his throwing progression and looks like he could be ready to resume facing hitters shortly after the All-Star break. The veteran righty opened the season on the injured list while completing his recovery from surgery last September to remove scar tissue around his right elbow, and he's since been pulled off rehab assignments on two occasions due to elbow soreness and nerve symptoms related to his biceps and neck. Once he's cleared to head back out on a rehab assignment, Garcia will likely require several appearances before the Blue Jays bring him back from the shelf. |

Heading North
Sat, Jul 11, 2026, 5:27 PM
The Blue Jays selected Cooney with the No. 103 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.

Drafted by Toronto
Sat, Jul 11, 2026, 3:27 PM
The Blue Jays selected Carlon with the No. 39 overall pick in the 2026 First-Year Player Draft.
Analysis: Carlon, a 6-foot-5 southpaw from Arizona State, averaged under two innings per appearance as a reliever his first two seasons before moving to the rotation as a junior. He logged a 3.87 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 38.0 K% and 8.9 BB% in 83.2 innings, and while his walk rate is a little high, it's a notable improvement from the 11.3 BB% and 13.7 BB% he logged as a sophomore and freshman, respectively. He has power stuff that ticked up even after he got stretched out this spring, as he sits around 96 mph with his heater and touches 101 mph. Carlson threw his 70-grade slider over half the time this spring, and he lacks a quality third pitch. That didn't stop him from dominating lefties and righties in college, but he'll need to add a viable third pitch and improve his command if he is going to make it as a big-league starter. Carlson's two monster offerings from the left side and lack of experience as a starter give us a lot to dream on, but he may not move through the minors as quickly as the typical high-end college arm. |

In 280 trips to the plate with Fort Myers, Sprock slashed .306/.436/.441 with five homers, 37 RBI, 46 runs scored, 14 stolen bases and a 49:31 BB:K. He was recently promoted to High-A Cedar Rapids. |

He averaged 93.4 mph with his four-seamer, which is slightly up from what he's averaged during his time with the Blue Jays this season. Scherzer will likely make one more rehab start during the All-Star break before rejoining the Blue Jays' rotation for the start of the second half, assuming all goes well.

Guerrero's had a rough first half -- during those 17 games he managed a weak .194/.250/.226 slash line with only two doubles and five RBI -- but Wednesday's blast could help take some of the pressure off his shoulders. |
