The Blue Jays announced that they’ve recalled right-hander Spencer Turnbull from Triple-A Buffalo.

The Jays made a roster move after today’s game:
Paxton Schultz was sent to Buffalo. Schultz has a 3.24 ERA in 16.2 innings, with 4 walks and 21 strikeouts. I hate losing him off the roster. He’s been very useful. Spencer Turnbull is coming up to take his roster spot. Turnbull allowed 9 hits and 7 earned in 6.1 innings for the Bisons, with 5 walks and 4 strikeouts. I guess they couldn’t make a deal with him to stick around after his 35...Brooks Lee and Christian Vazquez hit consecutive home runs and the Minnesota Twins held on for a 6-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon in Minneapolis.

Twins 6 Blue Jays 3
Even in a loss, there were some terrific Jays’ moments:
In the second inning, Vladimir Guerrero caught a line drive hit down the line with two runners on and two outs. He’s having a great series with the glove. In the third, also with two out, Alejandro Kirk picked Ty France off first base. It was a big moment, with two runners on base again. In the fourth, Byron Buxton ground one down the third base line, hard (97.4 mph). Addison...The Toronto Blue Jays, among top prospect names like Arjun Nimmala, Trey Yesavage, and Ricky Tiedemann have an abundance of young pitching depth currently sitting in the minor leagues.

Happy Sunday. Yesterday, I realized I was just two weeks away from my MS Ride and hadn’t been on the bike enough. But, I’m in as good of shape as I get at this age, and I’m sure I can ride 200 K over a weekend. There are going to be some rides this week.

John Gibbons turns 63 today.
Gibby was the Blue Jays’ manager for eleven seasons—nine full seasons and two partial seasons. The team had a 793-789 record with him at the helm, and we made it to the playoffs twice during his tenure.
His first stint started in August 2004, when the Jays tired of Carlos Tosca. Over the last 50 games, with Gibby pushing the buttons, we went 20-30. In the next three seasons, we finished third, second and third. In...
George Springer hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the top of the eighth inning, and the Toronto Blue Jays held on for a 5-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis.

Blue Jays 5 Twins 4
George Springer hit a two-run homer in the eighth to save what had the look of one of those games where we couldn’t score enough. In the eighth, Addison Barger led off with a double and then George hit one that just cleared the wall in left.
I thought we wasted what could have been our last shot in the seventh. Andrés Giménez and Tyler Heineman hit singles with Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero coming up. But Bo struck out,...

Game one of this three-game series went well.
Alan Roden isn’t in the lineup again today. It is exactly the wrong way to use a prospect. When he finally does get into a game, he will think he has to go 4 for 4 if he wants to play again. He’ll end up putting so much pressure on himself. But then he’s unlikely to get into a game.
We did this in the Gibby/Cito days: Have a good prospect up, sit him. Play him once. If he doesn’t hit, play...
The Blue Jays outrighted Michael Stefanic off their 40-man roster and assigned the infielder to Triple-A Buffalo after Stefanic cleared waivers, according to Sportsnet’s Arden Zwelling.
The Toronto Blue Jays have found a number of ways to win over the past two weeks, but the No. 1 reason for the recent success is offense. The Blue Jays will try to stay hot at the plate when they play the Minnesota Twins on Saturday afternoon in Minneapolis.
George Springer and Addison Barger homered as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied for a 6-4 win over the Minnesota Twins on Friday night in Minneapolis. Bo Bichette added a two-run single for Toronto, which overcame a 3-0 deficit to win its third game in a row.

Blue Jays 6 Twins 4
It is nice when you can win on a bullpen day. Paxton Schultz was not good in the opener role, but, after that, everyone was good.
Schultz gave up a run in the first on a Trevor Larnach home run. And then two more in the second, on a single and two doubles.
In the third, Eric Lauer came in and he was terrific, going 2.1 scoreless on a hit and a walk with two strikeouts. Unfortunately, he threw four innings in our game on Tuesday, so he...

We have the first of three with the Twins in Minnesota. The park in Minneapolis is very nice. There is also a nice mall with bars just a few minutes' walk from the park. I was there once, and a flash mob went by with many glow sticks.
It is a later game tonight, at 8:00 Eastern.
There isn’t much news today. They signed Ali Sanchez to a new minor league contract.
Thankfully, this is not Jays news, but Corbin Burnes is out for...

The Jays head on the road as a playoff team for the first time since April, tied with Tampa for the third Wild Card. They are going to Minnesota for a three game series against the Twins. The Twins currently hold the first Wild Card position, coming off a series win over the Athletics.
I reached out to Benjamin Jones, the site manager for Twinkie Town and he was kind enough to answer some questions about the Twins.
The ALC has really turned into the...
Fresh off a 10-game road trip, the Minnesota Twins are eager to return home. The Twins will enjoy familiar territory when they welcome the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night to open a three-game series in Minneapolis.
Now that he has cleared waivers, he has the right to elect free agency since he has previously been outrighted in his career.

Phillies 1 Jays 9
It is nice to be on the winning side of a laugher.
The Jays scored four in both the second and third innings and coasted the rest of the way.
It’s easy to overlook Chris Bassitt’s great start, but he didn’t have a good May, so I’m glad that June is going better for him. Bassitt went seven innings, allowing five hits, two walks and six strikeouts. It’s the first time this year that he’s pitched seven innings—a very...
Myles Straw and Tyler Heineman each had three RBIs, Chris Bassitt pitched seven effective innings Thursday and the Toronto Blue Jays defeated the visiting Philadelphia Phillies 9-1.
