Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Absent from Toronto lineup
Schneider is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Milwaukee.
It marks two games out of the last three that Schneider's name has been missing from the lineup card. Daulton Varsho will be in left field for the Blue Jays while Spencer Horwitz handles second base and also the leadoff spot.

Blue Jays' Spencer Horwitz: Two hits including double Monday
Horwitz went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's loss to the Brewers.
The Blue Jays only managed four hits in total on the night, but the rookie did what he could to spark some offense. Horwitz has been as advertised since his promotion, going 3-for-10 with two walks while starting three straight games at second base and batting either first or second. The 26-year-old won't supply a lot of power, but his on-base skills should lead to production if the hitters behind him can get going.

Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk: Clubs second homer
Kirk went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Brewers.
The backstop took Colin Rea deep in the third inning, ending a power drought for Kirk that stretched back to April 28. While his .612 OPS and two homers on the season are a disappointment, the 25-year-old may be coming around at the plate -- over his last 10 games, Kirk's batting .308 (8-for-26).

Blue Jays' Alek Manoah: Set for internal brace surgery
Manoah won't require a traditional Tommy John surgery and is instead slated to undergo a hybrid internal brace procedure Monday to repair the sprained UCL in his right elbow, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Blue Jays manager John Schneider had previously disclosed Friday that Manoah would require a season-ending elbow surgery, but Davidi's report provides more specificity regarding the nature of the procedure. Renowned arm specialist Dr. Keith Meister is set to perform the procedure, which involves replacing the UCL and anchoring the new UCL to an internal brace suture. Though the internal brace procedure typically shortens the length of a pitcher's recovery compared to the 12-to-18-month timeline for Tommy John surgery, Davidi notes that Manoah is still expected to be on the shelf "well into next year." The significant arm injury further muddles Manoah's long-term outlook with the Blue Jays, which had already been somewhat murky following a disastrous 2023 campaign in which he posted a 5.87 ERA and 14.2 percent walk rate over 87.1 innings.

Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Strikes out four in loss
Berrios (5-5) took the loss to the Brewers on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.
Berrios surrendered solo home runs to Jackson Chourio and Willy Adames in the third and fourth innings then allowed another run on a sacrifice fly by Adames in the sixth. Berrios was bidding for his sixth straight quality start but labored through the sixth and left the game with two outs after throwing 105 pitches in the contest. Despite faltering late, Berrios has now logged a quality start in 11 of 14 outings and owns a 2.93 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB this season. He lines up for his second start of the week against the Guardians on Sunday.

Blue Jays' Kevin Kiermaier: Not in Toronto lineup
Kiermaier is absent from the lineup for Monday's game versus the Brewers.
The domino effect of Spencer Horwitz getting regular reps at second base could impact Kiermaier, as it means more Davis Schneider in left field Daulton Varsho in center, which is how the Blue Jays have things set up Monday. Kiermaier is just 3-for-25 at the plate over his last 10 contests.

Blue Jays' Justin Turner: Not in Monday's lineup
Turner is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Milwaukee.
Turner has been trending up finally at the plate recently in reaching base 11 times across his last six games, but he will begin this one on the bench. Daniel Vogelbach is at designated hitter.

Blue Jays' Danny Jansen: Absent from lineup
Jansen is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.
It looks to be a routine day off for Jansen, who had started the last two and three of the previous four contests. Alejandro Kirk will do the catching for Jose Berrios on Monday.

Blue Jays' Yariel Rodriguez: Next rehab start coming Tuesday
Rodriguez (back) is scheduled to make another rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Buffalo, MLB.com reports.
Rodriguez is closing in on a return from the 15-day injured list after the Blue Jays deactivated him April 30 due to thoracic spine inflammation. The Blue Jays appear to be prepping for Rodriguez to take on a starting role upon his return from the IL -- or are at least keeping him available as a rotation option -- as MLB.com notes that the organization wants him to push his pitch count up to 75 before he's activated. In his most recent rehab start with Buffalo last Wednesday, Rodriguez tossed 43 pitches over three shutout innings, then tossed 15 more pitches in a bullpen session immediately upon leaving the game. If he's able to add around 15 more pitches to his workload Tuesday, Rodriguez could get the green light to rejoin the big club as soon as the upcoming weekend. Should the Blue Jays choose to include Rodriguez in their rotation, he would likely unseat Bowden Francis as the No. 5 starter, though even in that scenario, Toronto could deploy the two pitchers as a piggyback tandem like it did earlier in the season.

Blue Jays' Nate Pearson: Bags third hold
Pearson gave up a run on two hits while striking out one in an inning of relief Sunday to record his third hold of the season in an extra-inning win over the A's.
Brent Rooker tagged him for a solo shot, narrowing the Blue Jays' lead to 2-1, but Pearson otherwise held Oakland at bay. The right-hander has seen more high-leverage work of late with Jordan Romano (elbow) sidelined, producing all three of his holds since May 27, and over six appearances during that time Pearson has posted a 3.38 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB.

Blue Jays' Yimi Garcia: Collects third win
Garcia (3-0) struck out one in a perfect inning Sunday to pick up the win over Oakland.
The Blue Jays won 6-3 in the 10th inning, handing Garcia the victory after he preserved the tie in the ninth. The right-hander has either a win or a save in four straight appearances, and he's been Toronto's next high-leverage option this season, posting a 2.08 ERA, 0.69 WHIP and 34:7 K:BB through 26 innings with nine holds and four saves in addition to his three wins.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Notches seventh steal
Varsho went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's extra-inning win over the A's.
The 27-year-old outfielder has stolen bags in back-to-back games, giving him seven steals on the year. Varsho keeps finding ways to be productive, and through nine games in June he's batting .296 (8-for-27) with three doubles, two triples and six runs scored.

Blue Jays' George Springer: Swipes eighth bag
Springer went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's extra-inning win over the A's.
The veteran outfielder stole his eighth bag of the year but his first since May 15, snapping a 19-game drought on the basepaths. Springer is showing signs of life at the plate as well -- over his last 12 games, he's slashing .268/.400/.439 with two homers, four RBI and 11 runs. He's been consistently hitting lower in the order during that stretch, anywhere from fifth to seventh, and with rookie Spencer Horwitz currently getting a look as a table-setter, Springer likely won't return to a more prominent spot in the lineup any time soon.

Blue Jays' Ricky Tiedemann: Close to rehab assignment
Tiedemann (elbow) threw a live batting practice session Friday and could begin a rehab assignment this week, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The 21-year-old lefty last pitched April 11 for Triple-A Buffalo before being shut down with what was diagnosed as ulnar nerve inflammation in his elbow, but he's close to resuming game action. Tiedemann will likely begin his rehab stint in the Florida Complex League or with Single-A Dunedin, and he could rejoin the Buffalo rotation by the end of June. If Tiedemann can manage to stay healthy, he remains a candidate to bolster the major-league staff in the second half.

Blue Jays' Adam Macko: Pushing for promotion
Macko could get promoted to Triple-A Buffalo in the near future, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
The 23-year-old southpaw, acquired from Seattle two offseasons ago, is having a strong campaign with Double-A New Hampshire thanks to improved control. He's found another gear over the last month, posting a 2.81 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 46:7 K:BB through his last six starts and 32 innings. Macko features a mid-90s fastball and a big curveball, but it's the development of his changeup and sweeper that will determine whether he can ultimately thrive in a big-league rotation.

Blue Jays' Jordan Romano: Set to resume throwing program
Romano (elbow) is expected to resume throwing Monday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The right-hander will throw from flat ground and stretch out to 150 feet before beginning mound work. The Blue Jays are proceeding cautiously with their closer after he received an anti-inflammatory injection June 2, but Romano might still be able to avoid a rehab stint before being activated from the injured list.

Blue Jays' Bowden Francis: Turns in scoreless appearance
Francis allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three over four shutout innings in a no-decision in Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Athletics.
Francis made his first start since April 7, taking over the rotation spot that previously belonged to the injured Alek Manoah (elbow). Since Francis hadn't worked more than 3.2 innings in any of his appearances in the majors or minors since early April, the Blue Jays monitored his workload carefully Sunday, but he needed just 49 pitches to record 12 outs before exiting the contest. Francis should get another start against the Guardians this upcoming weekend, but it's unclear if the Blue Jays plan to have him handle a traditional starter's workload anytime soon. Toronto could soon return Yariel Rodriguez (back) from the injured list, and the team had previously deployed Rodriguez and Francis as piggyback starters earlier in the season to limit their pitch counts with the aim of increasing both pitchers' overall effectiveness.
