"Braydon Fisher has one career start under his belt, and it didn't go well. Last season, the 24-year-old rookie was asked to start the game on May 31, against the Athletics. He lasted 1.1 innings, giving up five earned runs on four hits."
"Fisher went back into the bullpen and was perfect over his next 14 appearances, striking out 20 hitters in 14 innings and allowing six hits, three walks and no runs."
"Fisher being used as an opener highlights the biggest challenge the Blue Jays have had come their way in 2026 - dealing with injuries."
"During the offseason the Blue Jays added pitching in spades... but that depth was tested right out of the gate."
Braydon Fisher has been named the opener for the Toronto Blue Jays against the Arizona Diamondbacks after the team quickly depleted its pitching depth. Fisher, a 24-year-old rookie, has only one previous start, which was unsuccessful. He rebounded well as a reliever, maintaining an impressive streak of 21 games without allowing a run. The Blue Jays' pitching depth was significantly impacted by injuries, despite offseason efforts to strengthen their roster with new signings and contract options.
