When the baseball season began, Louis Varland was pitching in Minnesota, Mason Fluharty was throwing in Buffalo along with Eric Lauer and Braydon Fisher, and Seranthony Dominguez was tossing the ball in Baltimore.

For the first time in nearly a decade, the Toronto Blue Jays will be playing in the American League Championship Series.The Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 5-2 in Game 4 to punch their ticket to the ALCS, where they will play either the Detroit Tigers or Seattle Mariners.With no starter to call upon in Wednesday's outing, the Blue Jays were instead forced to have a bullpen day, and their arms came through.

12 h. ago Here's the latest news on Toronto Blue Jays star Bo Bichette's injury

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is doing everything in his power to return to the lineup in the near future.The 27-year-old hasn't played since early September, after suffering a PCL strain in his left knee. The injury was initially believed to be short-term, but it has continued to bother Bichette to the point where the Jays chose to leave him off their ALDS roster.Though the Jays still have to get there, the ALCS won't begin until Sunday, giving some optimism that Bichette may be able to be a part of that series, whether right from the beginning or partway through. While that remains to be seen, he was spotted doing some light running drills for the first time at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday morning.News: Bo Bichette is here jogging on the field at Yankee Stadium.Very light, but this is the first we’ve seen. He still didn’t look very comfortable walking back to the dugout. #BlueJays pic.twitter.com/HJBaqpXfbE— Keegan Matheson (@KeeganMatheson) Octo...

15 h. ago Here's when Toronto Blue Jays ALCS games will happen if they beat Yankees

If there's any solace in Tuesday night's Game 3 collapse, the Toronto Blue Jays will still have more home games these playoffs.Either they'll be back at Rogers Centre Friday night for a tense winner-take-all Game 5 in the American League Division Series against the New York Yankees, or they'll be the higher-ranked team heading into the American League Championship Series starting this weekend.And with the latter very much a real possibility as the Jays are just one game away, the team announced on Wednesday that their ticket sales will start soon.As of Thursday at 10 a.m. EDT, ALCS tickets will be available for purchase through the team's official website.Friday's potential Game 5 is sold out, though tickets are still available via the resale market on both Ticketmaster and third-party sites like SeatGeek and StubHub. The cheapest ticket we saw as of Wednesday afternoon was $260 in the upper deck of the Rogers Centre.Blue Jays fans are also encouraged to...

16 h. ago These restaurants are where the Toronto Blue Jays eat when they're off

Toronto's beloved Blue Jays may be busy on the road to a potential World Series, but when they're not out raking in wins on the diamond, they can often be found dining at local restaurants.Sports superstars have to eat, too, and the Toronto Blue Jays, on top of being the current object of all of the city's sports-related hopes and dreams, are evidently major fans of the local food scene.While restaurants all over the city are due to get a welcome boost in business as the postseason rages on through October, the players themselves have a selection of favourites where they, personally, like to indulge in a post-win meal when they're on home turf.The Jays could potentially play their next home game on Friday should the New York Yankees recover from their ALDS deficit, so if you want to eat like the team, here's where you should be heading. Or, you could always attempt Real Sports' appalling new No-No Challenge, instead.Vladimir Guerrero Jr.Honorary Tor...

34 h. ago Yankees manager took a shot at Buck Martinez in hilarious back

Despite some recent shots thrown back and forth, Toronto Blue Jays broadcaster Buck Martinez has no issue with Aaron Boone.Boone, the New York Yankees manager, took exception to some comments made by Martinez last month. While calling a game, the long-time Blue Jays announcer said the Yankees were not "a very good team."The comments caused quite a bit of backlash and were clearly heard by the Yankees. Prior to his team facing the Jays in the ALDS, Boone was quick to denounce Martinez's assessment."Contrary to some thoughts up here, we're a really good team," Boone told reporters last week. "I know Buck had some thoughts. That's all I was responding to. He's wrong. But it doesn't matter. We've got to go play, and we've got to go perform."While Boone may not have agreed with Martinez's comments, the latter cleared up any potential drama between the two, sharing a funny interaction they had prior to the ALDS gettin...

38 h. ago MLB insider says Toronto Blue Jays should be worried about Bo Bichette

Despite not having Bo Bichette in the lineup, the Toronto Blue Jays hold a 2-0 lead over the New York Yankees in the ALDS.Bichette, who suffered a knee injury late in the season, was tied for second amongst all MLB players with 181 hits despite playing in just 139 games.Though Bichette's injury kept him off the Blue Jays' ALDS roster, there was hope amongst the fanbase that he might be able to return soon after if they were to advance. The Jays themselves, however, didn't provide much clarity regarding a timeline, and we may now know why.According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, the Blue Jays shortstop isn't moving around like a player who is nearing a return to game action."In my opinion, [the Blue Jays] have to be concerned," Rosenthal said on Foul Territory. "It's not so much what I'm hearing, but what I'm seeing being by their dugout. He is not walking like a guy who is fully healthy. He's got a bit of a limp."To my knowledge, he...

40 h. ago What does Vladimir Guerrero Jr. always write in dirt with his bat?

When Vladimir Guerrero Jr. steps up to the plate for the Toronto Blue Jays, there's hardly a more anticipated moment in Canadian sports.During Sunday's Game 2 of the ALDS, Guerrero delivered easily his biggest moment yet as a member of the team, hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the fourth inning that sent the Rogers Centre into a frenzy.While closing the game out ended up being a bit more of a chore than anticipated, Guerrero's moonshot gave Toronto a 9-0 lead and a real sense that maybe, just maybe, they'd actually be able to knock off their longtime rival, the New York Yankees.But before Guerrero stepped up to the plate for the at-bat, he took a moment for his traditional routine.What does the Blue Jays star Guerrero write in the ground with his bat?Guerrero is already eighth in all-time at-bats for the Blue Jays, and has made his way up all sorts of all-time team leaderboards since his MLB debut in 2019.Before his grand slam (and just about every ot...
