It's April 3rd. This is MLB News today, powered by AI tracking teams, players, and standings. Kevin Galsman is off to a scorching start for the Toronto Blue Jays in the 2026 season. No wins yet, but a 0.75 ERA over. Two outings. The 35-year-old Wrighty tossed six innings each time, giving up just one run and three hits total while fanning 21 batters without a single walk. That's Ace level dominance, right? This PN's latest rankings on top starters beg to differ, handing Galsman only an honorable mention outside their top 11. Meanwhile, his teammate Dylan C slots in at number 7, keeping the Jays in the mix. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads over the snub, especially since age, doesn't explain it. Guys like 37-year-old Chris Sale and 35-year-old Zach Wheeler made the cut. Galsman, a two-time all-star in his 14 season, has never snagged a Sai Young, though he finished third in 2023.

Seats back up the hype in his Jays debut, scattering one run over 5.1 innings against the athletics with 12 strikeouts of franchise. Record for a first start. The 30-year-old, fresh off a $7-year $210 million deal, already has a runner-up Sai Young finish from his Chicago days. It's a boon for Toronto to boast two studs in the rotation, and if Galsman keeps cooking, he might climb those ranks or chase that elusive award, before his contract wraps up.
