Kevin Gausman

TOR Starting Pitcher #34

Kevin Gausman blanked the Angels for seven innings in the Blue Jays’ 6-1 victory Tuesday.

Gausman’s strikeout rate has come down of late, but he’s also given up less hard contact, which thus far has proved to be a worthy tradeoff. He moved to 11-8 with a 4.20 ERA with his fifth straight win tonight.
Spencer Horwitz

TOR First Baseman #48

Spencer Horwitz homered, walked and scored twice against the Angels on Tuesday.

With Will Wagner up, Horwitz might not see much more time at second base. Still, his lineup spot is safe. He’s started every game since the All-Star break, including all five times the Jays have faced lefties. Perhaps he actually should sit in more of those situations, considering that he’s batting just .194 with one extra-base hit in 36 at-bats against southpaws.
Bo Bichette

TOR Shortstop #11

Bo Bichette (calf) is scheduled to resume baseball activities within the next week.

Bichette has been out since late July with a moderate right calf strain and is aiming to make it back to Toronto before the regular season wraps up. There isn’t a ton of margin for error, but it’s possible he’ll be able to return for the Blue Jays at some point in September. He’s highly unlikely to make a serious impact for fantasy managers, which makes him droppable outside of extremely deep mixed leagues.
Will Wagner

TOR Third Baseman #7

Will Wagner went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in his major league debut Monday as the Blue Jays held off the Angels 4-2.

Quite the first impression. Wagner, who started at second base, delivered hard-hit balls in all four of his at-bats, with the one out traveling 374 feet. He figures to be a platoon guy against righties for the most part, but a hot start might get him a chance versus lefties, too.
Bowden Francis

TOR Starting Pitcher #44

Bowden Francis limited the Angels to one run on one hit in seven innings for a victory Monday.

The one hit was a homer from Mickey Moniak. Aside from that, Francis was perfect, winding up with eight strikeouts and no walks. This makes two nice starts in a row from a guy who had a 5.64 ERA, mostly as a reliever, as of a week ago. He doesn’t seem like a great bet going forward, but he wouldn’t be a terrible play in a road start against the Cubs on Sunday.
Chad Green

TOR Relief Pitcher #57

Chad Green recorded his 12th save despite giving up a homer in the ninth Monday against the Angels.

It was a solo shot, as has been typical this season. Green has allowed six homers but somehow only eight runs through 38 2/3 innings this season, leaving him with a 1.86 ERA. He’ll likely finish out the season as Toronto’s closer.
Will Wagner

TOR Third Baseman

Blue Jays selected the contract of INF Will Wagner from Triple-A Buffalo.

Billy’s son will get his first opportunity in the majors two weeks after being acquired from the Astros in the Yusei Kikuchi deal. Wagner was 10-for-25 for Buffalo since the move, putting him at .315/.432/.444 overall in Triple-A this year. Upside is a question mark here, but he should be able to hold his own after major league pitching. The Blue Jays figure to give him steady playing time against righties, which will cut into the at-bats of Davis Schneider and maybe Ernie Clement. It’s notable that the Jays had him start five games at second and just one at third for Buffalo.
Luis De Los Santos

TOR Third Baseman #20

Blue Jays optioned INF Luis De Los Santos to Triple-A Buffalo.

The Jays treated the 26-year-old De Los Santos as roster filler rather than give him a real look after his July 30 callup. He went 2-for-8 with a double and a walk in three games.
Daulton Varsho

TOR Center Fielder #25

Daulton Varsho went 2-for-3 with a solo home run on Sunday against the Athletics.

Varsho has begun to show some signs of life with a hit in seven of his past nine games. This was also his fourth straight game hitting in the two-hole as the Blue Jays are showing more confidence in him. There’s still some talent in this bar besides his ugly .207/.292/.695 slash line.
Chris Bassitt

TOR Starting Pitcher #40

Chris Bassitt allowed eight hits and seven runs across four innings in a loss to the Athletics on Sunday.

Bassitt’s day started with a nightmarish first inning where he threw 41 pitches, gave up six runs, two homers, and 11 A’s came to the plate. He only gave up one more run and wound up striking out five, but his story of the day was written in that first frame. Bassitt has struggled recently, allowing at least five runs in three of his last five starts and his ERA on the season is up to 4.30.
