The Toronto Blue Jays lost 4-2 to the Chicago White Sox, concluding their three-game homestand with a .500 record. The eighth inning proved pivotal as the White Sox scored three runs, capitalizing on mistakes from reliever Jeff Hoffman. Despite Hoffman's struggles, manager John Schneider expressed strong support for him, emphasizing his past contributions to the team's victories. Hoffman's performance this season has been marked by a high ERA, contrasting with his successful All-Star season in 2024. The Blue Jays are hoping to improve during their upcoming West Coast trip while Hoffman aims to regain his form.
"We trust the [expletive] out of Jeff Hoffman," Schneider said. "I do. It's easy to point blame at him, but he's been on the other side of us winning a whole lot of games."
After his All-Star campaign in 2024, Jeff Hoffman’s inconsistency has been a thorn in Toronto's late-game hopes, carrying a bloated 5.29 ERA this season.
