Blue Jays Struggle, Injuries Impact Rotation

0:00It's April 25th. This is Toronto Blue Jays News today, driven by AI your team, non-stop. The Toronto Blue Jays, last year's American League champs, are off to a rough start in the 2026 season with a 10 and 14 record. They're sitting forth in the AL East and 2.5 gains back from the wildcard spot, dealing with some key injuries that have thrown their rotation into chaos. This offseason, they brought in right-hander Cody Ponds to bolster the staff. Cody tore his ACL in his first start and had surgery, sidelining him, for a big chunk of the year. That leaves them without three expected starters, putting extra pressure on the bullpen and the rest of the pitching crew. Trey Yessivage was lights out late last season and even shown in the playoffs, helping fuel that October run. Right now, he's nursing a shoulder impingement, but the team's taking it slow to get him back at 100 percent, ready to dominate like before. Meanwhile, Jose Barrios is on a faster track.

1:00His next rehab outing is at Triple A Buffalo, and GM Ross Atkins says he could slot right back into the. Rotation if all goes well, though they're playing a cautious one-start at a time. And good news on the line up front, George Springer should rejoin the squad any day now. With these guys trickling back, the Jays might steady the ship and climb that standings latter soon.
