Overview

  • Jake Bloss, Toronto’s No. 6 prospect, will have surgery to repair his UCL, sidelining him for the entire 2025 season.
  • The specific procedure—traditional Tommy John surgery or an internal brace—has yet to be determined, potentially affecting his 2026 return timeline.
  • Bloss sustained the injury during a May 3 outing and has undergone extensive testing since then to confirm the diagnosis.
  • The Blue Jays’ rotation depth remains under strain, with Max Scherzer still recovering from thumb and back issues.
  • Manager John Schneider indicated the No. 5 starter role will remain unsettled, with José Ureña, Spencer Turnbull, and others being considered as interim options.
