The Toronto Blue Jays have made several roster adjustments ahead of their series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. Backup catcher Tyler Heineman was placed on the seven-day injured list due to concussion symptoms, leading to the call-up of Ali Sánchez from Triple-A Buffalo, who stepped in to catch for Chris Bassitt. In 2024, Sánchez struggled with a .167 batting average in 96 plate appearances with the Marlins. Heineman, despite his injury, had been performing well with a .396 batting average, 10 runs, 6 RBIs, and one home run across 48 at-bats.

Additionally, the Blue Jays designated left-handed pitcher Josh Walker for assignment. Walker had only appeared in three games this season, posting a 7.20 ERA over five innings. These roster changes come swiftly on the heels of the team placing reliever Yimi Garcia on the 15-day injured list due to a right shoulder impingement. Paxton Schultz was recalled from Triple-A to fill the void left by Garcia.
