The 2025 #BlueJays were built on nailing the little things. It was a crucial part of their team identity.

This year, not so much -- and you could argue it's been their most troubling flaw in 2026 thus far.

The #BlueJays injury train 🚂 stops here (hopefully 🤞).

Dylan Cease & Max Scherzer could return next week, followed by Alejandro Kirk soon after. Both Shane Bieber & Yimi Garcia are making progress, too.

Help is on the way...

When #BlueJays signed Dylan Cease to the richest FA contract in franchise history last winter, this is exactly what they envisioned.

They believed Cease could become a Cy Young-calibre starter again, and that's just what he's been lately.

At 14-16 thru 30 games, #BlueJays are starting to get back above water for a change, amid all the injuries that have been thrown at them this season.

Baseball is a game of ebbs and flows, and things are flowing rather well right now for TOR.

Injuries have played a major role in the #BlueJays' 7-11 start to this season, but so has their inability to carry over last year's identity.

We now have the full story of Trey Yesavage's slow spring build-up, which will ultimately land him on the IL to begin the year -- alongside Jose Berrios & Shane Bieber.

That means Eric Lauer returns to #BlueJays' rotation, as he always hoped.

Max Scherzer, expected to make his spring debut Sat vs PHI, is officially back for Year 19.

It's unclear how #BlueJays will make all these rotation pieces fit. But Mad Max has made it clear... he expects to be ready by Opening Day in 3 weeks.

As #BlueJays camp begins, questions have already started to emerge, with injuries to Anthony Santander, Shane Bieber & Bowden Francis.

Thus, the onus now falls on others to step up in their absence...

The Bo Bichette era is officially, and anticlimactically, over in Toronto.

Thoughts on how #BlueJays will adjust to this new normal with Bichette -- and Kyle Tucker -- both landing elsewhere in free agency this week.
