Overview

• Morgan Wallen walked out with José Bautista and mimicked the 2015 bat flip in a pre-show moment that was widely shared on social media.
• During the toss, the bat struck Bautista’s wife, Neisha, who was recording nearby, and she said she was OK in the video.
• Wallen later performed in a vintage Roy Halladay Blue Jays jersey as a nod to the late pitcher commemorated on the stadium’s Level of Excellence.
• Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman posted praise on X for the Halladay tribute shortly after his eight-inning, 7–1 win over the Yankees.
• Jays Care confirmed the Morgan Wallen Foundation donated 1,500 gloves to help youth participate in its RBI baseball program.
