Fantasy Impact: Turner will miss his third straight game due to an illness that has impacted other players on the Blue Jays as well. He is reportedly feeling better, but he should still be considered day-to-day for now.

Fantasy Impact: Springer has been feeling sick since last week as he missed Friday and Saturday's games. He returned to the lineup on Sunday but has now missed Monday and Tuesday as he's not fully healthy. he is reportedly feeling better, but he should still be considered day-to-day for now.

Bo Bichette went 3-for-4 in the Blue Jays' narrow 3-2 victory over the Orioles, adding a stolen base and a walk to his line.

Fantasy Impact: This performance could be a sign of Bichette finding his rhythm at the plate after a sluggish start to the season, marked by a mere .218 batting average and modest power numbers. His ability to swipe bases and hit safely multiple times in a game provides a glimpse of the multifaceted skill set that fantasy managers hoped for when drafting him. While his season-long stats have been underwhelming, outings like this one hint at a potential turnaround.

Daulton Varsho went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Blue Jays' 3-2 win over the Orioles.

Fantasy Impact: His performance, highlighted by the solo home run, contributed crucially to the narrow victory. Despite a season batting average of just .214, Varsho's power numbers are respectable, with seven home runs and 19 RBI through 39 games. Fantasy managers should value him for his power potential, though his inconsistency might make him a risky play in shallower leagues.

Jose Berrios delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four over seven innings in the Blue Jays' 3-2 win over the Orioles on Monday.

Fantasy Impact: Despite not factoring into the decision, Berrios maintained his strong season form, keeping his ERA tidy at 2.82 and WHIP at 1.05. His consistent ability to limit base runners and manage games effectively was on display, though his strikeout rate remains modest at 7.0 K/9.

Fantasy Impact: Francis is expected to throw two innings or around 45 pitches. Fantasy managers should expect Francis to require a few more outings prior to being activated.

Fantasy Impact: Rodriguez is expected to throw another bullpen session soon prior to heading out on a rehab assignment. He continues to recover from thoracic spine inflammation.

Alek Manoah delivered a stellar performance, allowing zero earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Despite his strong outing, Manoah was saddled with the loss, a tough pill to swallow given his dominance through the game. This performance was a significant improvement and should help in lowering his elevated ERA of 4.91 and WHIP of 1.36 from his earlier starts this season. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.8 K/9) while controlling the walks better in this game is a positive sign. Fantasy managers should note this performance as a potential turnaround point for Manoah, though his high FIP (6.26) suggests there might still be underlying issues to monitor.

Jordan Romano notched his sixth save of the season as the Blue Jays edged out the Twins 10-8.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed one hit and struck out two batters in a clean inning of work. Despite a somewhat bloated ERA of 4.15 and a WHIP of 1.38 this season, Romano's performance in clutch situations continues to underscore his value in fantasy leagues, particularly those that reward saves. His solid strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.00) and consistent save opportunities make him a viable option for fantasy managers in need of relief pitching, though his susceptibility to allowing hits can be a concern. His ability to close out games without surrendering leads, as evidenced by zero blown saves, should keep him firmly in the closer role and relevant in fantasy discussions.

Kevin Gausman had a rough outing in Saturday's high-scoring affair against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: He surrendered six earned runs on 10 hits and two walks while striking out six over just three innings. Despite Gausman's struggles, the Blue Jays managed to secure a 10-8 victory. This performance inflates his ERA to 4.95 and WHIP to 1.51 for the season, continuing a trend of inconsistency marked by a high BABIP of .364. His strikeout numbers remain solid at 9.2 K/9, but fantasy managers should be wary of his volatility in matchups, especially given the current trajectory of his peripheral stats like FIP at 3.92. Gausman remains a risky play in fantasy lineups, particularly in leagues that heavily penalize for earned runs and hits.

Davis Schneider went 3-for-4 in the Blue Jays' 10-8 win over the Twins, delivering a home run, a double, three runs scored, two RBI, and a stolen base.

Fantasy Impact: This performance highlights Schneider's growing role as a key contributor in the Toronto lineup. His ability to combine power and speed, as evidenced by his home run and stolen base in the same game, adds a valuable dimension to fantasy rosters. While his strikeout rate remains a concern, his solid wOBA and BABIP suggest that he can sustain a reasonable batting average. Fantasy managers should consider Schneider a viable option, especially in leagues that reward extra-base hits and stolen bases.

Danny Jansen went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in the Blue Jays' 10-8 win over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a crucial home run, contributing significantly to the team's narrow victory. Jansen's solid outing boosts his season batting average to .315, and with a wOBA of .441, he continues to demonstrate his value in fantasy formats, particularly in leagues that reward power from the catcher position. While his strikeout and walk rates both sit at .115, his consistent contact and ability to drive in runs make him a viable starting option in most fantasy lineups. Keep an eye on Jansen as a potential sleeper pick, especially if he maintains this level of production.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a stolen base in the Blue Jays' 10-8 win over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marked a significant uptick in Guerrero's batting, pushing his average to .272 and bringing his RBI total to 19 for the season. The absence of extra-base hits in this game does highlight a potential area of concern regarding his power output this season, as he remains at just four home runs. However, his ability to put the ball in play and contribute significantly in RBI situations keeps his fantasy value buoyant. Owners should be pleased with his multi-hit game but continue to monitor his power numbers, which have not aligned with his typical production profile.

Yusei Kikuchi delivered a solid performance, allowing two earned runs on four hits over eight innings in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: He struck out three without issuing a walk. Despite the loss, Kikuchi's outing was a testament to his consistent season, maintaining a strong 2.64 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP through eight starts. His ability to limit walks and keep the ball in play, as evidenced by a 0.292 BABIP and a 5.11 strikeout-to-walk ratio, continues to make him a reliable option in fantasy lineups. While the strikeouts were lower than usual, his control and efficiency in deep outings are valuable, keeping his fantasy stock stable.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the Blue Jays' 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a solo home run, contributing significantly to the team's offense in a tight game. This outing boosts Kiner-Falefa's batting average to .279 and brings his RBI total to 12 for the season. His consistent contact hitting, evidenced by a .321 BABIP, and a modest power uptick with his second homer suggest a potentially valuable utility role in fantasy lineups, especially in deeper leagues or those that reward multi-position eligibility. While his low walk rate limits his OBP appeal, his contact skills keep him relevant in batting average-focused formats.

Fantasy Impact: This is the first time Green has thrown from the mound since landing on the injured list. Fantasy managers should expect the veteran reliever to head out on a rehab assignment soon.

Kevin Kiermaier is not in the Blue Jays’ starting lineup Friday.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran will get a day off, which is a surprise considering the Twins are going with right-hander Joe Ryan Friday. Daulton Varsho will slide over to center field against the Twins.

Chris Bassitt delivered a solid performance in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed two earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out six over 6.1 innings. This outing was a refreshing change for fantasy managers given Bassitt's rocky start to the season, marked by a 5.06 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over his first eight starts. His ability to limit the Phillies to just three hits and maintain a decent strikeout rate in this game could be a sign of stabilization. However, his season-long metrics, including a high BABIP and modest strikeout-to-walk ratio, suggest that while he might have upside, inconsistency could continue to plague his performances. Fantasy managers should remain cautious but hopeful that this start is a step in the right direction.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran has not pitched since April 28 due to a back issue. He will go through a pregame workout to determine if he is available Wednesday.

Alejandro Kirk is not in the Blue Jays lineup on Wednesday against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact: Kirk picked up one hit in Tuesday's loss against Philadelphia. Danny Jansen is starting behind the plate in his absence.
