Yariel Rodriguez

TOR Starting Pitcher #29

Yariel Rodríguez allowed one run over five innings Sunday in his start against the Braves.

Rodríguez struck out six in the closest he’s come to a quality start in a month. The Jays are still watching his workload, so he was lifted after 73 pitches today. His starts should remain rather short going forward, making him a poor choice in mixed leagues. He’ll likely face the Cardinals next weekend.
Chad Green

TOR Relief Pitcher #57

Chad Green took a third straight third blown save after giving up a single run in the ninth Sunday against the Braves.

Green was 16-for-16 saving games coming into September, but he’s given up seven runs in 2 2/3 innings this month. To be fair, today wasn’t nearly as bad as the first two, as the runs scored on a couple of singles and a sac fly. He’s still probably the Jays’ closer for now. It’s not like they have anyone else they’d want to take over the job.
Addison Barger

TOR Third Baseman #47

Addison Barger went 0-for-2 off the bench and made a huge error in the 11th as the Blue Jays lost to the Braves on Sunday.

Barger’s stock might be further down than that of the PED-suspended Orelvis Martínez at this point. He’s hit just .204/.239/.395 in 177 major league plate appearances, and his defense at third has been a real problem. He just isn’t giving the Jays any reason to include him in their initial plans for next year.
Will Wagner

TOR Third Baseman #7

Will Wagner went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI in a win over Atlanta on Saturday.

Wagner was one of three players for the Blue Jays who were able to pick up at least three hits, joining Nathan Lukes and Spencer Horwitz. Wagner has been extremely impressive since being recalled on August 12, and he now has a .329 average over his 21 games and 73 at-bats with the Blue Jays. There are question marks about the power, speed and defense; but Wagner has a hit tool that suggests being a helper in that category.
Spencer Horwitz

TOR First Baseman #48

Spencer Horwitz homered twice and drove in three runs while going 4-for-5 in a 9-1 blowout win for the Blue Jays of Atlanta.

Horwitz homered off Spencer Schwellenbach twice, and both were solo shots for the 26-year-old. He also drove in a run with a double in the fifth, and he’s now plated 32 runners to go with 11 homers. Six of those deep balls have come since the start of August, as he’s starting to drive the ball on a more consistent basis. It bodes well for Horwitz in the future, and fantasy managers should look to play the hot hand.
Jose Berrios

TOR Starting Pitcher #17

José Berrios held Atlanta to one run in six innings to get a win for the Blue Jays on Saturday.

Berrios scattered five hits with one free pass issued, and he struck out five. He blanked the Atlanta lineup until the fifth when he gave up an RBI single to Michael Harris II. The right-hander is on a roll right now with six consecutive starts where he’s allowed no more than two runs, and he’s gone at least six innings in all of those outings. Berrios gets a chance to keep that streak going against the Cardinals over the weekend.
Nathan Lukes

TOR Center Fielder #38

Nathan Lukes went 2-for-4 with a run scored on Friday against the Braves.

Lukes scored the Jays’ only run and was their only batter to reach base twice on a tough night against Max Fried. This was Lukes first start in nearly a week despite notching four hits out of the lead-off spot last Saturday.
Kevin Gausman

TOR Starting Pitcher #34

Kevin Gausman allowed six hits and three runs with five strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Braves on Friday.

Gausman did well to hang on for this quality start. He was up to 55 pitches after the Braves batted around in the second inning with three runs home. Gausman was visibly uncomfortable in the Atlanta humidity and was sweating through his jersey as that inning mercifully ended. Yet, he turned his outing around largely thanks to some batted ball luck and finding the command of his splitter. It forced 10 swings-and-misses as it continued to disappear below the strike zone. While not comfortable, this version of Gausman is palatable. He’s scheduled to face the Mets at home next time out.
Bo Bichette

TOR Shortstop #11

Bo Bichette (calf) is expected to begin a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo.

Bichette will likely spend four or five games playing in Triple-A before rejoining the Jays for the final two weeks of the year. He’s been out since July 19 because of a calf strain.
Addison Barger

TOR Third Baseman #47

Addison Barger is available off the bench Friday after leaving Tuesday’s game with left knee discomfort.

The Jays are facing a lefty tonight, so Barger wasn’t going to be in the lineup anyway. He’ll likely be in there against righty Spencer Schwellenbach on Saturday.
