Toronto Blue Jays Bringing Right-Handed Pitcher Back up From Triple-A
The Blue Jays are bringing up Yariel Rodriguez from the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons after a year of disappointing developments for him.
The Toronto Blue Jays have been hit hard by the injury bug this season to both the starting rotation and the bullpen. The Blue Jays have five starters either miss time, are currently out or are set to be out for the rest of the season. Due to these ailments, Toronto's bullpen has had to pick up a lot of extra innings, despite not being at full strength in its own right.
High-leverage right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia is yet to make his debut this season due to right elbow surgery he underwent in 2025. He recently began a rehab assignment with the Florida Complex League Blue Jays.

According to a post on "X" from Francys Romero, the Blue Jays are planning to bring up Yariel Rodriguez from the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.
It's not clear when he'll be officially activated to the 26-man roster but he'll join the team ahead of a three-game series against the Tampa Bay Rays, which begins at 7:07 p. m. ET on Monday at Rogers Centre in Toronto.
