Blue Jays Lock in Opening Day Roster

The Toronto Blue Jays have locked in their opening day roster a few days early, even

though their season doesn't start until Friday.

Two big moves stand out.

Rule 5 picks Spencer Miles earned a spot in the bullpen, and shortstop Leo Jimenez was

designated for assignment.

Miles brings serious upside despite just 14.2 minor league innings under his belt.

The Jays need a long reliever with injuries pushing Eric Lauer into the rotation, and

they must keep Miles a return him to the Giants.

His strong spring performance sealed the deal over a safer, short-term option.

In Menez, signed out a Panama at age 16 back in July of 2017, showed solid contact skills

in up-the-middle defense last year, but injuries hampered his 2025 season, and a weak spring

didn't help against competition like Josh Kassovich.

The lineup looks sharp with Dylan Sees and Kevin Galsman leading the rotation, Vladimir

Guerrero Jr. at first, and George Springer as the designated hitter.

The bullpen mixes vets like Jeff Hoffman with fresh arms backed by a versatile bench.

This roster balances talent and need, setting the Jays up well despite losing a promising

infielder like Jimenez.

Fans will watch closely as the full league ramps up tomorrow.
