Slugger Sean Keys Being Called Up By Blue Jays

[Steve Drumwright]

The Toronto Blue Jays are getting a power boost.

Corner infielder Sean Keys, Jays Centre's No. 7 prospect, is reportedly being called up from Triple-A Buffalo to make his MLB debut. The move will be made before Saturday's game. Keys hit his 21st homer of the season Thursday for Buffalo.

That followed a two-homer game Wednesday. Keys now has seven homers since being called up from Double-A New Hampshire on June 5.

Between the two stops, Keys is slashing .284/.409/.619 with 54 RBIs and seven stolen bases in 67 games. At Buffalo, he has a .281/.403/.719 slash line with 20 RBIs in 18 games.

Keys was the Jays' fourth-round draft choice in 2024 out of Bucknell.

Moves to accommodate Keys on the 26- and 40-man rosters will need to be made, much less where he fits into the Jays' lineup.

can he play first base?  This team really needs one that can hit.
