Toronto

Blue Jays

Arrighetti gave up two hits, walked one and struck out two. He fell to 7-8 with the loss. Arrighetti followed two openers, entering the game in the third inning. He has a 6.55 ERA in 11 innings over three appearances since joining the Blue Jays. The fact that Toronto is using Arrighetti as a bulk pitcher rather than a starter isn’t terrible for his fantasy value, but he simply hasn’t pitched well lately. He’s lined up to face the Royals on the road on Sunday.

Yesavage is making lightning-quick progress after undergoing left knee meniscus surgery roughly three weeks ago. The 23-year-old is going to need at least a few more weeks to ramp up his throwing progression, but he figures to make it back to contribute in some capacity for the Blue Jays before the end of September.

Smith is back from hamstring inflammation. The former Rangers utilityman hit .250 with two homers in 14 games for the Blue Jays before landing on the injured list 12 days ago. He’ll likely see starts at both second and third against right-handers.

The 23-year-old Keys, who just recently added left field to his position mix along with first and third base, is back for another look after a big month of August that saw him hit .358/.470/.684 with seven homers for Buffalo. He might get some starts over Jesús Sánchez against righties to see if he can provide a spark.

Tiedemann is back for a second stint with the Jays after allowing one run in 1 2/3 innings in one day with the club last month. The 24-year-old longtime top prospect figures to work in middle relief.

Mantiply had been out since May after requiring knee surgery. The veteran lefty had a 2.04 ERA in 17 2/3 innings out of the pen before landing on the IL.

Cameron, who was called up on Aug. 15, went 5-for-24 with a homer in eight games for the Blue Jays.

Woods Richardson was DFA’d on Friday. He has a 6.68 ERA in 66 innings for the Twins and Blue Jays this season.

José Rodríguez has spent the majority of the season at Triple-A for the Dodgers, posting a 3.38 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and 36/18 K/BB ratio in 29 1/3 innings mostly out of the bullpen. The 25-year-old could be an option for the Blue Jays’ bullpen down the stretch. In exchange, the Blue Jays sent 20-year-old right-hander Sebastian Rodríguez to the Dodgers. The younger Rodríguez pitched just nine innings in the Dominican Summer League, but did have an 11/3 K/BB ratio.

Spencer Arrighetti will then likely follow for the bulk role. Miles has been solid in an opener role for the Blue Jays, but that role doesn’t provide any fantasy value. Arrighetti has allowed seven runs (six earned) on eight hits in 7 1/3 innings since coming to the Blue Jays and should not be trusted in fantasy today.
