Chris Bassitt

TOR Starting Pitcher #40

The Blue Jays confirmed Monday that Chris Bassitt would take the ball in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series if necessary.

The Jays will turn to Kevin Gausman in Game 1 on Tuesday followed by José Berríos in Game 2. If the series does go to three games, Bassitt isn’t a bad option to have to turn to. The 34-year-old hurler went 16-8 with a 3.60 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 186/59 K/BB ratio over an even 200 innings across 33 starts during the regular season.
Jose Berrios

TOR Starting Pitcher #17

Blue Jays’ skipper John Schneider announced Tuesday that José Berríos will start Game 2 of the Wild Card Series against the Twins.

The Jays will roll out Kevin Gausman against Pablo Lopez in Game 1 on Tuesday, then Berríos will do battle against Sonny Gray and his former teammates. The 29-year-old right-hander did a nice job over 32 starts during the regular season, posting an 11-12 record, 3.65 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and a 184/52 K/BB ratio over 189 2/3 innings of work.
Kevin Gausman

TOR Starting Pitcher #34

Blue Jays’ manager John Schneider confirmed Monday that Kevin Gausman will get the ball for Game 1 of their Wild Card Series against the Twins.

The assignment for Gausman comes as no surprise, as the 32-year-old hurler has been the ace of the Blue Jays’ staff all season and wasn’t needed to pitch in the regular season finale. Over 31 starts during the regular season, Gausman compiled a 12-9 record, 3.16 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 237/55 K/BB ratio over 185 innings of work. He had mixed results in two starts against the Twins this season — allowing just one run over 5 1/3 innings while striking out eight in a victory over the Twins in Minnesota back in May, while getting crushed for six runs on seven hits across 4 2/3 frames in Toronto in mid-June.
Brandon Belt

TOR First Baseman #13

Brandon Belt went 2-for-5 with a solo homer in Sunday’s loss to the Rays.

It was his third homer in the last four games, which is great to see after the veteran slugger recently returned from an IL stint due to lumbar spine muscle spasms. The 35-year-old closes the regular season with a strong .254/.369/490 batting line to go along with 19 home runs and 43 RBI over 103 games. If healthy, he has a chance to be a real weapon during the postseason.
Wes Parsons

TOR Relief Pitcher #18

Blue Jays selected the contract of RHP Wes Parsons from Triple-A Buffalo.

The 31-year-old posted a 4.52 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 98/45 K/BB ratio across 81 2/3 innings with Triple-A Buffalo and will take the ball for Toronto on Sunday. It will be his first appearance in the majors since 2019 with Colorado.
Jay Jackson

TOR Relief Pitcher #35

Blue Jays designated RHP Jay Jackson for assignment.

The 35-year-old posted a 2.12 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 29 2/3 innings for the big league club but was removed from the 40-man roster on Sunday.
Hyun Jin Ryu

TOR Starting Pitcher #99

Hyun Jin Ryu was lifted after allowing two runs in three innings Saturday against the Rays.

This wasn’t a planned early exit, but the Rays were hitting Ryu pretty hard and the Jays thought their bullpen would give them a better chance the rest of the way. Ryu had good velocity today, but he got just three missed swings and eight of the 15 balls in play against him left the bat at over 95 mph. Ryu ends the regular season 3-3 with a 3.46 ERA in 52 innings over 11 starts. It might be enough to get him a two-year deal as a free agent. First, though, he’d like to pitch in some postseason games.
Jordan Romano

TOR Relief Pitcher #68

Jordan Romano worked a scoreless eighth in a tie game Saturday against the Rays.

The one positive for the Jays in today’s loss was that Romano looked good after dealing with a cracked fingernail and giving up four runs in his previous two appearances. His velocity was up — he averaged 97.8 mph on his fastball — and he got through the eighth in 15 pitches.
Daulton Varsho

TOR Center Fielder #25

Daulton Varsho had a solo homer and a two-run single against the Rays on Saturday.

Varsho was recently dropped to the ninth spot in the Blue Jays order against righties, even though he’s been plenty solid these last two months. He’s hit .240/.313/.481 with eight homers over his last 50 games.
Brandon Belt

TOR First Baseman #13

Brandon Belt is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Rays.

Belt has homered in each of his last two ballgames, but he’ll get a breather in this one. George Springer will function as the team’s designated hitter in his place while Cavan Biggio will draw a start in right field and bat second against Shawn Armstrong and the Rays.
