Toronto’s bullpen is in flux as Yimi García heads to season-ending elbow surgery, forcing Schneider to shuffle late-season roles with playoff implications for fantasy managers. Anthony Santander’s rehab progress could juice the lineup if he returns sooner than later, while George Springer has taken on a heavy-duty DH role and excelled. Addison Barger and Davis Schneider, along with Nathan Lukes and Myles Straw, are in the mix for corner-outfield plate appearances as Daulton Varsho patrols center when healthy. The Jays’ offense faces the task of sustaining runs if the bullpen can’t stabilize, making late-season production from depth pieces crucial for fantasy rosters.

Blue Jays claim Isiah Kiner-Falefa off waivers from Pittsburgh, reuniting him with Toronto as September nears and postseason eligibility hangs on the waiver trigger before Sept. 1.

Yimi García moves to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding roster shift. IKF’s return provides Toronto with veteran versatility infield-wise, after he logged 83 games for the Jays in 2024 before heading to Pittsburgh. Pirates’ stat line this season: .264, 1 HR, 35 RBI, 15 SB in 119 games.
