Every man at some point in his life is going to lose a battle. But what makes him a man is at the midst of that battle he does not lose himself. #CoachTaylor

It looks like Alejandro Kirk could be with the Jays tomorrow ahead of their series with the Yankees.

Brandon Valenzuela has done everything to deserve to remain with the big club. We’ll find out soon if the Jays think the same.

[Blake Murphy @BlakeMurphyODC]

With 28 tonight, Cease is now tied for most swing-and-miss in a game since Tarik Skubal in May of last year (32).

6IP, 11K, 1ER, 3H, 1BB

Heck of a return.

The #BlueJays are acquiring Simeon Woods Richardson from the Minnesota Twins, sources tell The Athletic.

The former Jays top prospect, sent to Minnesota in the José Berríos trade, is coming back. SWR was DFA'd by the Twins a few days ago

The Toronto Blue Jays are calling up infield prospect Charles McAdoo, a source tells ESPN. A 13th-round pick in 2023, McAdoo has played first, second and third base this season, when he has hit .250/.356/.436 with eight home runs and 27 RBIs at Triple-A.

[Tobey Schulman @tschulmanreport]

MiLB pitchers with a K% >35% & ERA <2.00:

- Karson Milbrandt (MIA)
- Kade Anderson (SEA)
- Nolan Perry (TOR)

Perry has been incredible this season, leading the minor leagues in K% at 45.1% while holding hitters to a .125 BAA!

[Thomas Nestico @TJStats]

Spencer Miles is running away with the title of best "Rule 5 Draft pick" this year!

He fired off 4.1 scoreless innings with 6 K against the Yankees today to lower his season line 2.17 ERA and 2.82 FIP across 29.0 IP

The Blue Jays front office cooked with his acquisition!

[Just Baseball @JustBB_Media]

The first player in baseball to 60 hits this season:

Otto Lopez 🐠

[Damon @Damon98_]

Chandler Simpson (.360)
Vladimir Guerrero Jr (.356)

Chandler Simpson has a higher SLG% than Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Read that again if you don't believe it. It's true.

[Damon @Damon98_]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr has now gone FIFTY (50) straight plate appearances without recording a singular XBH. It is the longest drought of his career.

His OPS has dropped .149 points in the last 13 days.

[Joshua Howe @Howevolution]

Regardless of how this series ends, it’s been enlightening. The Raptors have a number of pieces genuinely worth investing in long-term, and at the same time, their current flaws have been made stark.

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

The Boston Red Sox fired manager Alex Cora, hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek, sources tell ESPN.

While the Red Sox won today, they are 10-17 and in last in the American League East. Massive change is coming in Boston.

[Shi Davidi @ShiDavidi]

Blue Jays add some catching depth, acquiring Willie MacIver from the Rangers for cash and optioning him to triple-A Buffalo, team announces.

Infielder Tyler Fitzgerald designated for assignment to make room on the 40.

[Minnesota Twins @Twins]

Things you can get in a dozen:
- Eggs
- Roses
- Mets losses

[Zach Worden @Worden_Zach]

Former #BlueJays prospect Kendry Rojas is getting the call to the majors with the Twins.

He hasn't allowed a run over three appearances this year in the minors.
