He didn’t pitch in his abbreviated two-day stint with the team. Dallas will likely shuttle up when the Blue Jays need some innings later this summer.

Blue Jays optioned RHP Chad Dallas to Triple-A Buffalo

Dallas was needed for three innings out of the bullpen on Tuesday, allowing six runs on seven hits. He’ll now head back to the minors so the team can get a fresh arm up in the bullpen.

Blue Jays recalled RHP Chad Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo.

Dallas has operated primarily as a starter in the minors, but he has a 1.93 ERA in 4 2/3 innings of relief for the Blue Jays this season. He will provide length out of their bullpen for the remainder of the week.

Blue Jays optioned RHP Chad Dallas to Triple-A Buffalo.

Dallas is sent down to make room for CJ Van Eyk, who had his contract selected in a corresponding move. Dallas will head to Triple-A and is likely to be an option before the end of the summer.

Blue Jays recalled RHP Chad Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo.

Dallas bolsters Toronto’s relief depth as a viable long man out of the bullpen for the remaining five games out on the West Coast against the Giants and Padres. The 26-year-old rookie allowed one run over 3 2/3 innings against the Red Sox in his big-league debut back on June 4.

Blue Jays recalled RHP Chad Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo.

Dallas will follow opener Braydon Fisher for a bulk relief appearance against the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Wednesday in place of injured veteran Max Scherzer (back). The 25-year-old rookie tossed 3 2/3 innings during his lone appearance for the Blue Jays earlier this month.

Blue Jays optioned RHP Chad Dallas to Triple-A Buffalo.

Dallas performed well in his bulk role win on Thursday, but the Blue Jays went with the fresh arm of Simeon Woods Richardson after acquiring him from the Twins yesterday. It’s unclear how Woods Richardson’s addition will impact the odds of Dallas getting another bulk shot, but he looked good enough that he should remain on the Jays’ radar going forward.
Chad Dallas

TOR Starting Pitcher #73

Chad Dallas earned a victory in his MLB debut on Thursday evening, giving up one run on two hits over 3 2/3 innings in a bulk role against the Braves.

The 25-year-old right-hander walked two batters while striking out a pair in the contest. The lone tally against him came in the third inning as Ronald Acuña Jr. singled, swiped second, advanced on a single and scored on a sacrifice fly. Dallas got seven swings and misses on 68 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 28 percent. If he sticks around to make another start or function in a bulk role once again, it would be on Tuesday against the Phillies.

Blue Jays selected the contract of RHP Chad Dallas from Triple-A Buffalo.

Dallas will pitch in a bulk role behind opener LHP Mason Fluharty tonight against the Braves. Going up against Chris Sale and a good Braves offense, we would not recommend chasing this start even in deeper leagues.
Chad Dallas

TOR Starting Pitcher #73

Blue Jays manager John Schneider confirmed that Chad Dallas will be called up to start a bullpen game against the Braves on Thursday.

Dallas will make his major-league debut on Thursday at Truist Park with a challenging road matchup after posting a erviceable 4.50 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 38/13 K/BB ratio over 36 innings for Triple-A Buffalo this season. The unheralded 25-year-old is not a recommended streaming option for fantasy purposes.
Adam Macko

TOR Starting Pitcher #94

Blue Jays optioned LHP Adam Macko to Triple-A Buffalo; re-assigned RHP Andrew Bash, OF Zach Britton, RHP T.J. Brock, LHP Jimmy Burnette, RHP Chad Dallas, RHP Devereaux Harrison, RHP Ryan Jennings, INF Damiano Palmegiani, OF Alan Roden, C Andres Sosa to minor league camp.

It’s the first large batch of cuts for the Jays’ this spring, but there were no major surprises in the bunch. Macko, 23, made 20 starts at High-A Vancouver in 2023, posting a 4.81 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and a 106/40 K/BB ratio over 86 innings of work. Expect him to begin the 2024 campaign at Double-A New Hampshire.

Robert Murray of FanSided reports that the Phillies are signing Nestor Cortes (arm) to a one-year deal.

Cortes will get an MLB deal, which makes sense considering the deal will be prorated and there’s not much season left. The southpaw has not pitched since 2025 after undergoing surgery in the middle of October that year. While he has a starting background, there isn’t much time for to build into that role. A muti-inning option out of the bullpen for the remainder of 2026.

Mets interim manager Andy Green told reporters that Jorge Polanco is likely to undergo surgery on his ankle.

Polanco was placed on the injured list before Wednesday’s game against the Padres with ankle bursitis. The 33-year-old has had a disastrous first season with the Mets that has seen him deal with injuries and ineffectiveness when available. If he does undergo the operation, it will all but assuredly mean he’s played his last game in 2026. That may be true, either way.

Cody Bellinger (hamstring) could return to the lineup for the Yankees by Sunday.

Bellinger will play Thursday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. If that game — and likely at least one more contest — goes well, the 31-year-old could be back for the series finale Sunday against the Blue Jays. Even Bellinger needs a day or two more in the minors, it’s a positive development for the Yankees and fantasy managers.

Chris Cotillo of MassLive reports that the Phillies are currently discussing a potential deal with Nestor Cortes (biceps).

Cortes has been out for all of 2026 while recovering from surgery on his left arm. There’s no guarantee that the 31-year-old will be able to pitch in 2026, but he could be a potential multi-inning option for the final month — and potentially the postseason — for Philadelphia.

Mets recalled INF Eric Wagaman from Triple-A Syracuse.

Wagaman is up with Jorge Polanco (ankle) once again being placed on the injured list due to his ankle issue. Wagaman will likely see some time over the final month-plus, but it’s hard to see much fantasy significance in his profile.

Mets optioned RHP Jack Weisenburger to Triple-A Syracuse.

Weisenburger threw 1 1/3 innings during Tuesday’s game against the Mets, so New York will bring up a fresh arm for the bullpen. Weisenburger seems to be a likely candidate for promotion when rosters expand.

Mets placed INF Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list with left ankle bursitis.

Lower body issues have plagued Polanco throughout the season — and really, for much of his career — and the 33-year-old will once again hit the shelf due to the ankle troubles. The 33-year-old could return at some point near September, but this is a lost first season for Polanco with the Metropolitans.
