The Blue Jays host Baltimore for a three-game set with Toronto chasing its first AL East crown since 2015, having split with the Yankees and Red Sox but stumbling against the Orioles and Rays. Baltimore has surged to 50-41 since May 30 and owns a 1.14 ERA bullpen in September as it tries to derail Toronto’s march. Bo Bichette’s knee injury muddies Toronto’s lineup, forcing shuffle and depth as the Jays aim to extend their division lead while juggling a tough weekend slate.

Friday features Rogers against Bassitt, Saturday’s duel pairs Sugano with Scherzer, and Sunday’s TBD faces Bieber as Toronto looks to keep pace with its rivals. After the series, Toronto hits the road to Tampa Bay before visiting Kansas City, keeping the pressure on the rest of the division and leaving fantasy managers weighing lineup moves around injuries and bullpen usage.
