Toronto activated Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Dillon Tate for September's opener vs Cincinnati, adding depth as the Jays push for a playoff spot. Kiner-Falefa joined from Pittsburgh via waiver, providing infield/outfield versatility; Tate was added to the MLB roster to help the bullpen. Nick Sandlin moved to the 60-day IL in a corresponding shift, reshaping Toronto's late-season relief corps.

These moves underscore Toronto's plan to maximize matchups and rest options in a tight AL race, with IKF offering multi-position value and Tate boosting bullpen depth. The trio signals a proactive approach to the final stretch, reinforcing depth for a critical October push.
