Availability
Blue Jays GM Ross Atkins said the team is moving to a closer by committee approach.
Fantasy Impact
Jeff Hoffman could see some save chances, but he’s no longer the primary option for Toronto. Louis Varland is also expected to be in the mix.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Jeff Hoffman will be unavailable on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Schneider will use the upcoming off day to discuss Hoffman's role. His struggles continued in his latest appearance on Tuesday.
Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman blew his third save of the season in an eventual 9-7 win over the Brewers on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Leading 6-4 heading into the bottom of the ninth inning, Hoffman allowed a Brice Turang RBI single and a game-tying Brandon Lockridge RBI double to tie the game. He also walked two and struck out one in 2/3 of an inning. The shaky outing raised Hoffman's ERA to 4.32 through nine outings on the season and further shortens his leash on the closer's role, with Louis Varland the likeliest of candidates to take over should the Blue Jays make a move.
Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman recorded a save as part of Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Dodgers.
Fantasy Impact
Hoffman flirted with trouble in the ninth on Wednesday, allowing a pair of baserunners before eventually working his way out of the jam to record his second save of the season. He should be a solid source of saves on a strong Blue Jays team, and his 1.53 FIP and massive 41.9% K-BB% through seven outings on the season are strong signs for fantasy managers.
Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman notched his first save of the season in a 5-2 in over the Athletics on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Just one day after blowing his first save opportunity of the season, Hoffman was able to bounce back and retire three of the four batters he faced in the ninth on Sunday, including two swinging strikeouts. The righty endured a rocky first season with the Blue Jays in 2025, but could still provide plenty of fantasy value if he can keep his closer's role on the defending AL champs.
