Blue Jays optioned LHP Brendon Little to Triple-A Buffalo.

Little’s stay with the big league club lasted just one day this time around as he gave up four runs on three hits and a pair of walks in his lone inning of work against the Cubs on Friday afternoon. Lazaro Estrada was activated from the 60-day injured list to take his spot in a Jays’ bullpen that has been heavily taxed in recent days.

Blue Jays recalled LHP Brendon Little from Triple-A Buffalo.

Sent down after a horrific 24.55 ERA in his first five outings in the bigs in 2026, Little holds a 2.31 ERA in 23 1/3 innings for the Bisons and has struck out 32 while walking 19. The Jays will give him a chance to prove he’s worked through his issues.

Blue Jays optioned RHP Brendon Little to Triple-A Buffalo.

It’s not surprising to see Little get sent down after posting a brutal 24.55 ERA and 3.54 WHIP over 3 2/3 innings through his first five appearances. He’ll try to work through his issues at the Triple-A level for the time being.

Brendon Little gave up four runs in two-thirds of an inning against the Rockies on Monday.

Little had a 3.03 ERA in 79 appearances last season, and it looked like he might be even better this year during the spring, when he struck out 11 in six scoreless innings with his velocity up by about two mph from last year. Instead, he’s already given up seven earned runs in 1 1/3 innings. He’ll probably turn things around, but one more disaster outing might force the Blue Jays to send him to Triple-A for a couple of weeks.

Brendon Little fanned three in a scoreless frame against the Orioles on Wednesday.

Little was already plenty good while averaging 93.4 mph with his sinker last year. Right now, he’s at 94.8 mph with the pitch, and he’s been around 97 mph with the four-seamer he’s never really thrown as a major leaguer. It’s probably not going to matter much outside of leagues that count holds, but he’ll likely be one of the AL’s top lefty relievers if this keeps up.

Closing with Jeff Hoffman unavailable, Tommy Nance was charged with two runs while getting one out in the ninth Monday against the Reds.

The blown save actually went to Brendon Little, who gave hits to both batters he faced and took the loss in the three-run frame. Hoffman was down today after throwing 39 pitches the last two days, and the Jays also clearly wanted to stay away from Seranthony Domínguez, who is probably second on their bullpen depth chart. It doesn’t seem likely that Nance will get many more save chances.

Brandon Little is day-to-day with a left lat cramp.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters Little might even be available to pitch this weekend after exiting Friday’s relief appearance against the Orioles with a lat cramp. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward.

Brendon Little fired 1 1/3 scoreless frames on Monday against the Red Sox to record his first career save.

It technically goes down as a save for Little as he came on to record the final out of the eighth inning in relief of Toronto starter José Berríos and came back out to spin a flawless final frame, protecting a four-run margin at the time. The 28-year-old southpaw got the call because veteran Chad Green had pitched twice in the last three days and was presumably unavailable due to workload reasons.

Little is pushed off the roster with Alek Manoah coming off the injured list for his season debut. The 27-year-old will likely get another chance to help the Toronto bullpen at some point this summer.
