After being designated for assignment by the Blue Jays earlier this week, Manoah was claimed off waivers by the Braves on Friday. Manoah, 27, is clinging to his big league career just three years after he was named an All-Star and nearly won the American League Cy Young award.

The Toronto Blue Jays are trying to earn a first-round bye. Having a bye could mean having Bo Bichette back for the start of a run.

With Bichette still unable to run, the Blue Jays are facing a troubling development, as they will likely enter the first round of the postseason without his efforts. Toronto is still in a position to clinch a top-two seed in the AL and earn a first-round bye, but even then Bichette’s return is not guaranteed.

Survive, advance, repeat. The Blue Jays are trying to run out the clock on their first American League East title since 2015, and with Friday’s 4-2 win over the Rays, there are only two days left on the clock.

Alek Manoah's time with the Toronto Blue Jays has officially come to an end as the right-handed pitcher was scooped up off waivers.

The Toronto Blue Jays suffer another setback as they try to fend off the New York Yankees in the AL East race.

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Jose Berrios was placed on the 15-day injured list on Thursday due to right elbow inflammation. It marks the first time the 10-year veteran has been on the IL as a major leaguer.

Three Blue Jays pitchers have combined for six perfect innings against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night. Right-hander Louis Varland struck out three of the six batters he faced and lefty Eric Lauer followed by retiring 10 straight.
