3 Blue Jays who won't survive the roster crunch as injured stars return

"Trey Yesavage and George Springer both appear to be the closest to returning, with Addison Barger and José Berríos not too far behind."

"With both Yesavage and Berríos likely to join the rotation once they return, one would expect at least one of the Blue Jays' current starters will lose a roster spot."

"Tommy Nance has struggled immensely to begin his 2026 campaign, posting a dismal 7.20 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, giving up eight earned runs in just 10 innings of work."

The Toronto Blue Jays are expecting key players Trey Yesavage and George Springer to return soon, with Addison Barger and José Berríos also close behind. Their return will necessitate tough roster decisions, likely impacting current starters Patrick Corbin and Eric Lauer. Corbin has performed well, while Lauer may transition to the bullpen. Tommy Nance, struggling with a 7.20 ERA in 2026, is a candidate to be removed from the roster as the team adjusts to accommodate returning players.
