The Toronto Blue Jays will open the post-season with an afternoon matchup. MLB announced the schedule for the first two games of the American League Division Series on Wednesday. If Boston wins its AL Wild Card Series against the New York Yankees, Toronto begins the playoffs Saturday against the Red Sox at 1:08 p.m. ET. Should New York advance, the Blue Jays will take on the Yankees on Saturday at 4:08 p.m.

The Toronto Blue Jays will play a pair of intrasquad games this week in preparation for the start of the American League Division Series on Saturday. The informal scrimmages will last four to five innings on Wednesday and Thursday at Rogers Centre, the team said Tuesday in a statement. Blue Jays players will be joined by members of the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on both days. The club will open the stadium's lower bowl with general admission access. Net proceeds from the $10 tickets will benefit Jays Care Foundation, the team said.

The 2025 MLB playoffs start Tuesday (1 p.m. ET on ESPN), and we're here to get you ready for what is setting up to be a thrilling postseason. Will Shohei Ohtani's Los Angeles Dodgers meet Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees in a World Series rematch? Is this the year the Seattle Mariners and Milwaukee Brewers finally get to the Fall Classic?

Just a few weeks ago, the Toronto Blue Jays, Detroit Tigers, and Houston Astros all would have been strong bets to win their respective divisions. But now, with only two games left in the regular season, the landscape across the American League has dramatically shifted. The Mariners have clinched the AL Wes t, the Astros might not even make the playoffs, and the Guardians, once outside the postseason picture, are looking more and more likely to win the AL Central.

His sixth inning grand slam gave the Blue Jays a 4-0 lead in a game they desperately needed to win. It was a huge response to the previous two games in which they failed to come up with a clutch hit over and over again, dropping two games to the Red Sox and allowing the Yankees to tie them for the top spot in the AL East.

Despite their recent funk, the Toronto Blue Jays finally punched their ticket into the MLB Playoffs on Sunday in a hard-fought 8-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. In securing the victory Jays nation are celebrating the success they have had this season and are happy to see their favorite team back in the postseason after missing out in the action in 2024.

2025 will mark the 11th time in the Toronto Blue Jays 48 year history that they will be playing playoff baseball after clinching a playoff berth on Sunday. However, as you'll see with this list, the Blue Jays have never won three series in a single playoff round, let alone four if they somehow slip to a wild card spot in the season's final week.

One day after a blowout loss to the Royals, the Toronto Blue Jays get a chance once again to solidify themselves as a playoff team and quickly erase any memories of the 20-1 drubbing at the hands of Kansas City from Friday. It's not as simple as a 'win and you're in' but a win for Toronto would go a long way at this time of the year.

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette hasn't appeared in a game since September 6. That was the day he collided with Yankees catcher Austin Wells on a play at the plate. While he remained in the game following a rain delay, he was placed on the IL on September 9. Just over a week later it was announced that Bichette would miss the remainder of the regular season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Salvador Perez hit a three-run homer in Kansas City's seven-run first inning and the Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 20-1 on Friday night. The Royals sent 10 batters to the plate against Max Scherzer (5-4), who exited after recording just two outs and allowing seven hits in the shortest non-injury start of his career. It was Scherzer's shortest outing since facing just one batter while pitching for Washington on June 11, 2021, before leaving with an injury.

The exclamation point of his already exceptional campaign was firmly stamped in Fisher's recent dominating performance against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday. Not only was he thrown into some super high-leverage situations for two consecutive innings, he managed to calmly put out the fire and finished off the Rays to secure the victory in extra innings for the Jays. With that performance, should Fisher get an extended look in the closer's role for Toronto going forward?

When it comes to legends that have played for the Toronto Blue Jays, names such as Dave Stieb, Joe Carter, Carlos Delgado, Roy Halladay and José Bautista usually come to mind. As for those that were Blue Jays but were legends predominantly with other MLB team during their careers, names such as Paul Molitor, Dave Winfield, the late Rickey Henderson and David Price would come up. In the case for the latter group, their legacies were usually recognized based on their teams with the most time they spent playing with.

"It makes it easy to do my job every day and not do too much. We complement each other well. Everyone understands how each guy hits and each guy's strengths. Nobody is just trying to be the guy every single day. We just want to have a good at-bat and get on to the next guy."

Three games against the Houston Astros followed by three games against the Baltimore Orioles could have spelled disaster for the Toronto Blue Jays. Both teams had had Toronto's number this season with the Astros up 3-0 and Baltimore up 6-4 in their respective head-to-head season series. But Toronto did what they have done all season, they battled, they overcame deficits, they pitched well and got timely hits.
