Blue Jays' Tyler Heineman: Lands with Toronto
The Blue Jays claimed Heineman off waivers from the Red Sox on Monday.
Heineman has a minor-league option remaining, but he appears set to join the Blue Jays' 28-man active roster after Toronto designated its backup catcher (Brian Serven) for assignment in a corresponding move. The 33-year-old Heineman will be beginning his third stint with Toronto after spending time in the organization during the 2022 and 2023 seasons.

Blue Jays' Yerry Rodriguez: Outrighted to Triple-A
The Blue Jays outrighted Rodriguez (undisclosed) to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.
Rodriguez is no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. The right-handed reliever hasn't pitched for Buffalo for several weeks due to an undisclosed injury and remains on the Triple-A club's 7-day injured list.

Blue Jays' Yariel Rodriguez: Tosses 4.1 innings
Rodriguez allowed a run on three hits and one walk over 4.1 innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out two during the win over St. Louis.
Rodriguez worked through four shutout frames before the Cardinals tallied a run in the fifth inning. He's thrown fewer than six innings in 11 consecutive appearances, registering a 4.75 ERA while going 0-3 over 47.1 frames during that span. Rodriguez owns a 4.29 ERA with a 77:35 K:BB through 77.2 innings on the year. His next start is lined up to be in Tampa Bay.

Blue Jays' Chad Green: Escapes with save
Green allowed two hits in a scoreless inning Sunday, striking out one and earning a save against the Cardinals.
Green gave up a pair of singles but forced a Jordan Walker pop-out to close out the 3-2 win. Green made his first appearance since coughing up four runs in a loss against the Mets on Sept. 11. It was also his first converted save chance since Aug. 29 after blowing his previous three in September. Green owns a 3.42 ERA with a 44:14 K:BB through 50 innings.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: On bench Sunday
Loperfido (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
The 25-year-old departed Saturday's contest due to left adductor discomfort and will be held out of the starting nine for at least one game. Loperfido will have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener at Texas.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Managing sore shoulder
Varsho is out of the lineup for Sunday's game due to shoulder soreness, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
It's the first report of the injury for Varsho, but it makes sense as he hasn't been in the lineup since Tuesday against the Mets. The Blue Jays have a scheduled day off Monday, so the outfielder will have another two full days to rest up before Tuesday's series opener against the Rangers.

Blue Jays' Nathan Lukes: Starting again Sunday
Lukes is starting in center field and batting in the leadoff spot for Sunday's series finale against the Cardinals.
Lukes will start in the outfield for a fourth straight game Sunday, and the 30-year-old has been seeing more playing time while Daulton Varsho has been sidelined due to a sore shoulder. He's gone 3-for-10 with one triple and three runs scored over the first two games of the series against St. Louis. In 10 major-league appearances this season, Lukes is slashing .342/.395/.474 with four RBI across 43 plate appearances.

Blue Jays' Daulton Varsho: Continues to sit
Varsho is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Varsho will sit for a fourth consecutive game, three of which have come against right-handers. The 28-year-old has gone just 4-for-27 with a 37.9 percent strikeout rate since returning from a two-game absence due to a right shoulder injury in early September. Nathan Lukes will start in center field Sunday and bat in the leadoff spot against Cardinals right-hander Miles Mikolas.

Blue Jays' George Springer: Sitting Sunday
Springer is absent from Sunday's lineup against St. Louis.
Springer will begin Sunday's game on the bench after going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in the Blue Jays' 7-2 win over the Cardinals on Saturday. Addison Barger will start in right field and bat sixth against St. Louis right-hander Miles Mikolas.

Blue Jays' Leo Jimenez: Returns to lineup
Jimenez (finger) is starting at second base and batting seventh against St. Louis on Sunday.
Jiminez was set to return from a two-game absence due to a foot injury Saturday, but he was a late scratch due to a finger injury. He appears to be over both issues and will be in action for the series finale. Since Aug. 1, Jiminez is slashing .247/.381/.471 with four home runs, 14 RBI and a 30.5 percent strikeout rate across 105 plate appearances.

Blue Jays' Davis Schneider: Ends lengthy power drought Saturday
Schneider went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.
The 25-year-old utility player took Kyle Gibson deep for a solo shot in the third inning, snapping a 54-game homerless drought that stretched back to June 23. Saturday's multi-hit effort was also his first since July 21. Schneider has mostly failed to re-capture the magic of his 35-game debut from 2023, and through 123 contests this season he's slashing a meager .197/.287/.346 with 11 homers, six steals, 42 RBI and 43 runs.

Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero: Youngest Jay to 500 RBI
Guerrero went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Cardinals.
With his RBI single in the seventh inning, the 25-year-old Guerrero became the youngest Blue Jay ever to record 500 career RBI. He also reached that plateau in 806 career games, with only Carlos Delgado (714 games) getting there quicker in franchise history. Guerrero has slowed down a little in September, going nine straight games without recording multiple hits, but on the season he's still slashing .320/.394/.545 with 28 homers, 96 RBI and 92 runs.

Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Sharp in seventh straight win
Berrios (16-9) picked up the win Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings in a 7-2 victory over the Cardinals. He struck out four.
The right-hander needed 97 pitches (62 strikes) to produce his 20th quality start of the season, leaving him one short of the career high he recorded with the Twins in 2019. Berrios has given up two earned runs or fewer in seven straight outings, winning all seven while ringing up a 1.51 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 40:8 K:BB over 47.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Tampa Bay.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Departs with injury
Loperfido was removed from Saturday's game against St. Louis with left adductor discomfort, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.
Loperfido appeared to be grabbing at his hip after hitting a double in the third inning of Saturday's contest, though he managed to stay in the game until the fifth frame. If his injury proves to be severe enough to prevent him from playing Sunday, Nathan Lukes would likely be the next man in line to start in left field.

Blue Jays' Addison Barger: Enters Saturday's lineup
Barger will hit seventh and play third base Saturday against the Cardinals.
Barger was not in Toronto's original lineup but was inserted to replace the injured Leo Jimenez (finger). Barger has picked up only 18 at-bats so far in September, collecting three hits with a homer, three RBI and three runs scored.
