Hoffman took the loss on Saturday, giving up five runs in the bottom of the ninth. He threw his slider 54% of the time (13 out of 24 pitches), Jeff Hoffman’s removal from the closer role in late April could have easily becom...3381Sun, 31 May 2026 10:56:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/kevin-gausman-jesus-sanchez-spencer-miles/Welcome to Shape of the Blue Jays, my column where I dig into Statcast numbers to analyze recent pitch shape and swing shape trends for Toronto Blue Jays players and discuss how they have impacted their performance.

Yet, despite a record two games below .500, the Blue Jays remain firmly in the American League playoff conversation. Yes, it’s early. But a look at the standings makes it hard not to feel optimistic. FanGraphs even has...3376Thu, 28 May 2026 16:00:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/long-awaited-walk-lenyn-sosa/Note: I wrote this story yesterday, before the news broke that the Blue Jays will call up Charles McAdoo. While they haven't officially announced that Sosa will be cut to make room for McAdoo, it seems like the inevitable corresponding move. Lenyn Sosa is celebrating a home run in the pictu...3373Thu, 28 May 2026 10:55:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/yohendrick-pinango-roster-spot-addison-barger-return/On July 27, 2024, the Blue Jays acquired Yohendrick Piñango and Josh Rivera from the Cubs in exchange for Nate Pearson.

Maybe it started in Detroit, when he nearly put Andrés Giménez out of action with a failu...3371Wed, 27 May 2026 10:54:02 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/bullpen-success-much-needed-time/The Toronto Blue Jays have been in a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde situation this season. Half of the bullpen has been outstanding; that's the good side, a.k.a. Dr. Jekyll. The other half has been atrocious; that's the dark side, a.k.a. Mr. Hyde. Below are the relievers channeling their evil Mr. Hyde...3369Tue, 26 May 2026 10:50:01 +0000https://jayscentre.com/news-rumors/toronto-blue-jays/injury-update-guerrero-cease-scherzer-bieber-lukes-barger-kirk-garcia/Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Dylan Cease left Sunday's game early, while several of their teammates are working their way back from the injured list.
