The Toronto Blue Jays are getting set to begin a weekend series with the Philadelphia Phillies as the team tries to fight back into playoff contention.
2026 has been a tough year for the Blue Jays all year, but the team has won the last three series it’s played. Toronto’s front office also brought in some new talent at the trade deadline, giving this team a boost for the stretch run.
While a postseason run could be tough due to their place in the standings, there is still time to turn the year around. But it all starts with this series against the Phillies.
Jose Soriano’s Toronto Blue Jays Debut
And as the series gets going, the Blue Jays will be throwing out one of their new players. Toronto announced that right-hander Jose Soriano will indeed make his Blue Jays debut in this game against Philadelphia.
Ahead of the game, Toronto released the lineup for the contest, noting Soriano as the starter.
