The Blue Jays have a vision for the newly acquired Jose Soriano, much like they did with Dylan Cease. And that vision began on Friday as Soriano had a solid debut in a tight victory over the Phillies.

Career strikeout No. 3,516, good for 10th all-time, was classic Max Scherzer. His vintage performance and a promising return from Vladimir Guerrero Jr. helped the Blue Jays fight back against the Phillies on Saturday, writes Shi Davidi.

Each game matters more as the Blue Jays' margin for error shrinks with each loss, as does the runway to correct.

After a 10-1 thumping from the Giants, the Blue Jays need a substantial turnaround soon. Otherwise, they may be forced to consider whether to step back and sell-off some expiring assets at the Aug. 3 trade deadline.

Base thievery by Dunedin of the highest order is being led by two Toronto Blue Jays prospects with havoc-creating speed, writes Shi Davidi in this edition of the farm report.

As desirable as depth is, managing that surplus can be complicated. Otto Lopez's return to Toronto with the Miami Marlins serves as a timely reminder of just that, writes Sportsnet's Shi Davidi.

Losing either Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Dylan Cease, let alone both, is a nightmarish thought for the Blue Jays. It threatened to become reality in the fifth inning of Sunday’s loss to the Pirates.

The body art with real meaning, that offers a window into Yohendrick Pinango, is the sleeve that covers his right arm, a carefully crafted dedication to his late father. The Blue Jays outfielder plays with a style that would make his daad proud.

Jeff Hoffman is no longer the closer for the Blue Jays, as the team plans to "share the responsibility" of the ninth inning instead. Shi Davidi has more on how Hoffman is handling the news, and what it means for the team moving forward.
