Arjun Nimmala - Catching fire at Single-A Nimmala has gone 11-for-39 over his last nine games for Single-A Dunedin with five home runs and 13 RBI.
Impact He doesn't turn 19 until October, but Nimmala is beginning to develop the power the Jays were hoping for when they selected him 20th overall in the 2023 Draft. The shortstop had a rough start to his first year of full-season ball, but since returning from a stint in the FCL to get his confidence back, Nimmala is slashing .257/.341/.629 in 28 games for Dunedin with six doubles, three triples and nine homers, albeit with a 31.7 percent strikeout rate.

Ryan Yarbrough - Works out of bullpen Sunday Yarbrough retired all three batters he faced but was charged with a blown save in Sunday's 4-3 extra-inning loss to the Yankees.
Impact Though Kaitlin McGrath of The Athletic reported shortly after Yarbrough was acquired from the Dodgers on Tuesday that the left-hander would likely serve as a member of the Toronto rotation down the stretch, any appointment to a starting role looks as though it'll come later on in the season. Yarbrough has plenty of prior starting experience in the big leagues, but he had worked exclusively out of the bullpen this season with the Dodgers and hasn't recorded more than four outs in an appearance since the All-Star break, so he'll likely need more time to get stretched out before the Blue Jays turn to him in the rotation. In his team debut Sunday, Yarbrough was called upon to protected a 2-0 lead with no outs and runners at first and second, and while he was able to escape the sixth inning with no damage to his ERA, the Yankees successfully manufactured two runs to tie up the game. Jazz Chisholm and Anthony Volpe first executed a double steal, then came around to score on a fielder's choice and sacrifice fly, respectively.

Ernie Clement - Swipes two bags Clement went 3-for-5 with an RBI and two stolen bases in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.
Impact Clement got the better of Gerrit Cole and Austin Wells, singling and stealing second base off the duo in each of the first two frames. The 28-year-old swiped his first bag since July 27 and is now 7-for-9 in stolen base tries this season. Clement has appeared in all 16 games for the Blue Jays since the All-Star break, batting .283 with four extra-base hits, three runs scored, eight RBI and three stolen bases in 15 starts.

Yariel Rodríguez - Fires 4.2 scoreless innings Rodriguez did not factor into the decision in Sunday's loss to the Yankees, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out four in 4.2 scoreless innings.
Impact Rodriguez struggled with control and lasted just 0.2 innings in his previous start, walking four batters and allowing four runs (three earned) in a loss to Baltimore. Sunday was a much different story, however, as Rodriguez blanked the Yankees while throwing over 67 percent of his pitches for strikes. The 27-year-old has pitched well in six starts since July 1, posting a robust 2.60 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 30:13 K:BB across 27.2 innings. Rodriguez will look to keep rolling in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next weekend against the Athletics.

Joey Votto - Shakes off ankle injury Votto (ankle) returned to action for Triple-A Buffalo on Friday and has 2-for-5 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and three runs in three games since rejoining the club.
Impact Though Buffalo never placed Votto on its 7-day injured list, Votto had been out of action for three weeks before he was deployed as a pinch hitter Friday against Worcester. He served as a pinch hitter again Saturday, then started at designated hitter Sunday. Votto should eventually resume playing first base for Buffalo and will look to perform well enough at the plate to receive consideration for a promotion to Toronto. Though the 40-year-old first baseman wouldn't seem to be a fit on the roster for a non-contending Blue Jays squad, the organization may still be eager to give the Ontario native a final sendoff in front of his hometown team before a possible retirement this offseason.

Bowden Francis - Slated to start Wednesday Francis is listed as the Blue Jays' scheduled starting pitcher for Wednesday's home game against the Orioles, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Impact Though trade-deadline pickup Ryan Yarbrough could eventually get a look in the Blue Jays rotation, he'll begin his time with Toronto as a reliever, which paves the way for Francis to stick around as the club's No. 5 starter. Francis was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday and proceeded to start in the second game of the Blue Jays' twin bill in Baltimore. He fell just shy of a quality start with three earned runs allowed over 5.2 innings, and he'll head into the rematch with the Orioles with a 5.68 ERA and 1.44 WHIP across 44.1 frames at the big-league level this season.
