"Bruihl joined the Blue Jays on a minor league deal in March after spending 2024 in both the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates organizations. Bruihl was originally signed as an amateur free agent by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017 and he made his MLB debut in 2021 at the age of 24. Bruihl posted decent numbers while with the Dodgers. Between 2021-2023 he appeared in 65 games and posted a 3.65 ERA in 66.2 innings but accumulated just 43 strikeouts and a K/BB rate of 2.05."
"In August of 2023, the Colorado Rockies purchased Bruihl from LA and he finished the year with the Rockies before being granted free agency that offseason. For the Blue Jays in 2025, they were a team that was short on left-handed pitching, and it seemed like Bruihl's call up in June would be an invitation for him to get an extended look with the club. But it didn't happen that way. Bruihl only managed to throw 13.2 innings in 15 appearances and racked up an ERA of 5.27."
The Blue Jays increased their active roster from 37 to 41 players through multiple additions, including Cody Ponce on a three-year $30 million deal, Rule 5 pick Spencer Miles, a trade for reliever Chase Lee, and the signing of reliever Tyler Rogers. To create roster space, the team designated left-hander Justin Bruihl for assignment. Bruihl signed a minor league deal in March after time with the Reds and Pirates, originally signed by the Dodgers in 2017 and debuting in 2021. Bruihl logged limited innings in 2025 with a 5.27 ERA in 15 appearances.
