Lauer to the Bullpen It's hard to imagine where the Blue Jays would be this season if not for the emergence of Eric Lauer. With Max Scherzer on the shelf for the first half of the season, and with Bowden Francis unable to replicate his 2024 success, the journeyman lefty was called up at the end of April, and immediately provided relief to a beleaguered staff.

The baseball team announced Monday that post-season tickets will go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. ET on Thursday. The sale includes the maximum number of potential games to be played at Toronto's Rogers Centre during the first two rounds of the post-season American League Wild Card Series beginning Sept. 30 and Division Series beginning Oct. 4.

Monday night at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa saw t he long-anticipated debut of Trey Yesavage, and "exceeding expectations" doesn't begin to describe his performance against the Rays. Yesavage went five innings on the mound, allowing three hits, an earned run, and walked three batters on 69 pitches. However, it was his nine strikeouts (five came consecutively) that were not only impressive but also set a Blue Jays record for most strikeouts by a pitcher in their debut.

How dare the pitcher try to get the home guy out? That's their baserunner who's trying to score, leave them alone.

Rosters expand in September, allowing teams to call up players, some of whom will be getting their first taste of Major League action. Recently, MLB.com listed the best September call ups in each teams history and for the Blue Jays they landed on a player who would go on to have a Hall of Fame career. It was only a two-game appearance at the end of 1998, but it was two-games that showcased the flashes of greatness that was to come for the late-great, Roy Halladay.

Dickson is one of three people who contacted CBC Toronto about StubHub's failure to help them after their accounts were hacked, following a story about a Blue Jays fan whose pricey tickets were sold from his account.

In the top of the 10th, Kyle Isbell doubled to score Randale Grichuk, followed by a single from Tyler Tolbert, which increased the Royals' lead to 7-2.

Ed Sprague's outlier year was 1996, where he set career highs in runs (88), hits (146), homers (36), RBI (101), walks (60) and slugging average (.496). This performance ranks as one of the best seasons for a Blue Jay third baseman, marked by the presence of controversy around the team's association with Roger Clemens' trainer.
