  • TOR 1st Baseman

    Keys broke this game open with a two out, three-run home run in the third inning. It was the first home run of his career and came in front of a raucous crowd at Rogers Centre in Toronto celebrating Canada Day. If he could find regular playing time, he’d be an intriguing corner infield option with a strong underlying profile in the upper minors. This was his third start in five games since being called up and his first at designated hitter after getting the call at first twice while Vladimir Guerrero Jr. battled a tight back. He drew this start because George Springer had a day off, so it’s still a wait and see situation as to Keys getting regular playing time.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #62
    Miles was very impressive here despite only going three innings on 46 pitches. Both his fastball and sinker sat between 97 and 98 mph and the latter flashed some impressive movement. His curveball flashed too and he was willing to throw it against hitters from both sides of the plate. There was enough here to make us think about adding him in very deep leagues. Otherwise, Patrick Corbin followed him as more of a bulk reliever going five innings, allowing three runs, and earning the save. With a 5.11 ERA, he should not be on our radar.
  • TOR Left Fielder #8
    Clase has been recalled with George Springer headed to the paternity list. However, Clase is also not in the lineup against a left-handed pitcher on Wednesday, so he might not play much in the few games Springer misses.
  • TOR Designated Hitter #4
    Congrats to George and his growing family. Springer had a hot stretch earlier in the month, but is hitting .239/.340/.398 in 23 games in June with three home runs, three steals and 13 RBI. He is not a player you have to move on from in shallower formats, but you might be able to find more production on the waiver wire in 10 and 12-team leagues.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #31
    Scherzer is traveling with the Blue Jays on their road trip, so he will make a rehab start Friday with Vancouver, then rejoin the team in Seattle on Saturday. From there, he will throw a bullpen on Sunday, and the team will determine next steps from there. Scherzer could return right after the All-Star break, but he would remain off the fantasy radar outside of the deepest formats until we can see him pitch deep into a game for Toronto.
  • TOR 1st Baseman #27
    Guerrero missed Tuesday’s game with back tightness, but it was never expected to be a serious issue. Perhaps another day or two off could have helped the slumping first baseman with a mental reset, but he’s back in Toronto’s lineup already. It’s hard to keep him out of fantasy lineups outside of shallow leagues where multiple difference-makers can be found on the waiver wire. Sean Keys will start at DH and bat eighth with George Springer on the paternity list.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #34
    This is the fifth time Gausman has allowed exactly one run this year, but he’s won just one of those starts. He’s definitely had his share of bad outings, too, which is why his ERA is sitting at 4.19, but the Jays just aren’t giving him any margin for error. He’ll face the Giants next.
  • TOR 1st Baseman #27
    Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters that he thinks Guerrero will be ready for Wednesday’s series finale against the Mets. He added that he didn’t want to take any chances and risk a setback after Guerrero experienced some tightness while swinging before Tuesday’s game. He’s been battling through the lingering issue for the last couple weeks.
  • TOR 1st Baseman #27
    It sounds like a precautionary move and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be rookie Sean Keys moving over to cover first base with Ernie Clement at the hot corner and Luis Urías entering the lineup at second. Guerrero has been through a tough season at the plate with just four home runs across 81 games. There should be an update on his status following Tuesday’s contest in Toronto.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #46
    Schneider told reporters it’ll likely be rookie Spencer Miles getting the ball for a bullpen game in place of Corbin, who was originally scheduled to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Mets. The 36-year-old veteran has pitched to a cromulent 5.09 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 52/24 K/BB ratio across 69 innings over 15 starts this season. His rotation spot will likely go to Max Scherzer (back) once he’s ready to come off the injured list in a few weeks.
