Overview
- The trio took the field after the fifth inning of Game 2 at Toronto’s Rogers Centre as part of the Stand Up to Cancer placard tradition televised by FOX and presented with Mastercard.
- Joe, Kevin, and Nick Jonas held a sign honoring their father, Kevin Jonas Sr., who is reported as a cancer survivor.
- Some fans on social platforms questioned the timing of a mid-game performance during a tie score, though the tribute itself is a long-standing MLB practice dating to 2009.
- Joe Jonas acknowledged the chatter with a tongue-in-cheek comment—“Why these guys?”—on MLB’s Instagram post of the moment.
- The appearance extended a year-long SU2C campaign that included an All-Star Game video featuring survivor stories, and the Dodgers went on to beat the Blue Jays 5-1 with Game 3 set for Monday in Los Angeles.
