Blue Jays unable to recover from unfortunate moments in loss to Rays

Matt Shoemaker and Charlie Montoyo were ejected and Teoscar Hernandez made a brutal fielding error as the Blue Jays suffered another tough loss.

The Toronto Blue Jays’ bullpen keeps getting stronger from within, with names like Ryan Borucki, Thomas Hatch and Anthony Kay providing important value. And soon, Julian Merryweather may add his name to that list.

As he spent the last month-and-half slowly recovering from a right forearm strain, Ken Giles’ motto was “first one here, first one done.” He’d arrive at the ballpark early and work his way through his rehab tasks. Now, Giles is ready to be back in the game.

On opening day, the Toronto Blue Jays bullpen could best be described as thin and unproven beyond closer Ken Giles. Now, it’s one of the best in baseball. Arden Zwelling looks into how the Blue Jays did it and where the bullpen can go from here.

Nate Pearson recently underwent surgery to repair a sports hernia, according to Toronto Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins. The right-hander’s recovery is expected to take around a month and shouldn’t impact his availability for the beginning of spring training.

Believe it or not, 22 other fighters are competing Saturday at Scotiabank Arena — many of them exciting, up-and-coming talents in high-stakes fights. Let’s get familiarized with some of the under-the-radar names on the card who may not be making headlines, but could be turning heads come Saturday.

The Blue Jays are adding a meaningful offensive piece to their lineup with an agreement to sign Justin Turner. Even with that deal, there’s room for another outfielder on the club’s bench if the right fit is out there.

Justin Turner was brought to the Toronto Blue Jays to be a heart-of-the-order run producer, but Arden Zwelling makes the case for why he should he should be batting leadoff instead.

Ultimately, the biggest contribution to Toronto’s success or failure in 2024 will come from the performance of its top players — the ones who make the most plate appearances and pitch the most innings.

It’s an annual rite of spring: getting carried away with whichever recognizable veteran on a minor-league deal puts up numbers. Most roster decisions are all but finalized ahead of time, meaning Daniel Vogelbach and Eduardo Escobar face long odds to head north with the Blue Jays.
