GAME LOG
Bo Bichette - Three more hits in win Bichette went 3-for-4 with an RBI in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Royals.
Impact All three knocks were singles, but it was still another strong performance from Bichette. Over 16 games since the All-Star break, the shortstop is batting .377 (25-for-69) with eight doubles, a homer, eight runs and 15 RBI.

Jeff Hoffman - Collects 26th save Hoffman struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 26th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Royals.
Impact The right-hander has put his May struggles behind him. Over 21 innings since the beginning of June, Hoffman has converted 13 of 14 save chances while posting a 3.00 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 28:4 K:BB, and the Blue Jays' bullpen additions at the trade deadline may allow them to ease the workload on their first-year closer over the final two months of the regular season.

Max Scherzer - Nabs second win Scherzer (2-1) picked up the win in Saturday's 4-2 victory over the Royals, allowing one run on five hits over six innings. He struck out five without walking a batter.
Impact The 41-year-old right-hander produced his third quality start in his last four trips to the mound on 84 pitches (57 strikes), and Scherzer was shutting out Kansas City until Salvador Perez took him deep in the sixth inning. Scherzer continues to have trouble keeping the ball in the yard -- he's served up nine homers in 41 innings on the season -- but he's doing a better job of late of keeping the bases empty for them, posting a 4.13 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 28:2 K:BB in 24 innings over that four-start stretch. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend against the Dodgers.

Tyler Heineman - Leaves with bruised head Heineman was removed from Saturday's game against the Royals with a head contusion, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Heineman was hit by a pitch in the third inning and took a foul tip off his catcher's mask shortly afterward in the fourth, which ultimately ended his day behind the plate. The team is currently labeling his injury as a contusion, though the 34-year-old backstop will likely be evaluated for a concussion.

Daulton Varsho - Getting breather Saturday Varsho isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.
Impact Varsho went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts Friday in his return from the injured list, and the Jays will sit him down Saturday in an effort to ease him back into MLB action. Myles Straw will pick up a start in center field as a result and bat seventh.
AUGUST 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Ty France - Hitless in Jays debut France went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Friday's loss to the Royals.
Impact With George Springer (concussion) on the shelf, France got the start at DH and batted sixth in his Blue Jays debut after being acquired from the Twins at the trade deadline. The 31-year-old could see regular at-bats in the short term, but once Springer is back, France will likely find himself on the bench most days, providing depth at first base behind Vladimir Guerrero and getting some short-side platoon work at DH. Through 391 plate appearances this season, France has a mediocre .249/.317/.353 with six homers and 44 RBI.
AUGUST 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Louis Varland - Sharp in Jays debut Varland struck out one in a perfect seventh inning during Friday's loss to the Royals.
Impact He fired 12 of 14 pitches for strikes in his Toronto debut. Acquired at the trade deadline from the Twins, Varland entered the game with his new team down 5-1, but he should quickly slot into a high-leverage role for the Jays, joining Yariel Rodriguez, Seranthony Dominguez and Yimi Garcia (elbow) as right-handed setup options in front of closer Jeff Hoffman.
AUGUST 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE
Shane Bieber - Could make final rehab start Sunday Bieber (elbow) is expected to throw 70-75 pitches for Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Impact If everything goes well, Bieber could then make his Blue Jays debut the following weekend in a road series against the Dodgers. Acquired from the Guardians at the trade deadline, the 30-year-old right-hander and 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner is in the final stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery he underwent in April 2024. "I'm most pleased with not thinking about my health," Bieber said following the trade. "I think that says a lot about how far I've come post-surgery, where my body is at and where my mind is at. I'm focused on ramping up to compete in the big leagues. That's a fun place to be. That's what I've missed, and that's what I've strived for. I'm close now, but it's easier said than done."
