The Blue Jays placed Angel Bastardo (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday, per team reports.
Fantasy Impact
Bastardo, snagged in the Rule 5 Draft, clears a 40-man spot for Dillon Tate’s signing—sidelined by June 2024 Tommy John surgery, he’s likely to miss most or all of 2025. Fantasy managers in dynasty leagues can look past him for now; his big league debut’s a distant speck on the horizon.
Red Sox prospect Angel Bastardo is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery.
Fantasy Impact
Bastardo ranks as the No. 26 prospect for Boston. He will look to make a full recovery for next season.
