The Toronto Blue Jays are a far cry away from where they thought they would be at the beginning of the season, and three players stand out.

The Toronto Blue Jays have finally fought their way back to a winning record, and they did so in dramatic fashion with a walk-off win on Thursday.

Nathan Lukes' RBI single in the bottom of the 11th gave the Toronto Blue Jays a 7-6 win over the San Diego Padres on Thursday afternoon to complete the three-game sweep. Daulton Varsho's triple to lead off the inning drove in Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

The Toronto Blue Jays beat the San Diego Padres 14-0 on Wednesday night, but may have lost a starter in the process. Anthony Santander was removed from the contest in the seventh inning with left hip inflammation.

All things considered, the Blue Jays are, to this point, surviving the rotation instability caused by Max Scherzer’s absence relatively well. Shi Davidi has the story following Toronto’s sweep-clinching win over San Diego.

Lukes entered 2025 hoping to compete for a bench spot and earn playing time. But his game-winning hit on Thursday pushed the outfielder’s OPS up to .808, the fourth-highest on the team. The Blue Jays, who need unexpected breakouts to elevate out of the American League’s jumbled middle, are happy Lukes didn’t quit, too.

Toronto Blue Jays fans are enjoying watching Brendon Little emerge out of nowhere into a star for their bullpen.

Anthony Santander’s reaction didn’t tell the story. He spent all 26 seconds exhaling as he jogged around the bases.
