It's April 25th. This is Toronto Blue Jays News Today, AI-powered updates on your team. I'm Corey with the story. The Toronto Blue Jays just placed Outfield or Nathan Luke's on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain from Friday's loss to the Guardians, and they called up their number 10 prospect, Yohandri Pinyango, to fill the spot. Pinyango's been tearing it up in AAA with a Buffalo Bison's, hitting 288 with three home runs and an 857 on-base plus. Slugging over 22 games, so he's earning this shot early. Meanwhile, the Jays line-ups banged up bad, missing George Springer, Addison Barger, and Alejandro Kirk already, which has their outfield stretched. Finn enforcing wartime from guys like Iloy and Menes. The 23-year-old lefty brings serious raw power and better lift on his hits lately, coming over from the Cubs in that Napierson deal, and... With Bar Show and Springer hitting free agency after the season, he could stick around

long-term. To make room on the 40-man roster, they shifted Yimigarcia to the 60-day injured list, purely a paperwork move while his rehab drags on. And now, the Jays are leaning hard on that deep AAA talent pool to keep things rolling.
