Blue Jays prospect Sam Shaw collects two hits in his first rehab game in Single-A Dunedin

Sam Shaw, a Toronto Blue Jays prospect from Victoria, B.C., is regaining form after injuries disrupted his 2025 season and carried into the new year. He began the season on the injured list and later joined rehab action with the FCL Blue Jays. He was then moved to Dunedin as part of the rehab process and performed well against the Clearwater Threshers on May 27. Shaw batted second, took reps in left field, struck out in the first inning, and later delivered a single in the third inning with a 106 mph exit velocity. He added another single in the seventh, scored again, walked once, and finished 2-for-4 with two runs and two strikeouts.

"Injuries derailed Shaw's 2025 season, limiting him to just 69 games across Single-A and High-A. That injury carried over into the new season, with Shaw starting the campaign on the IL until mid-May, where he got into some rehab game action with the FCL Blue Jays."

"Facing the Clearwater Threshers on May 27th, Shaw slotted second in the lineup, sandwiched between Blaine Bullard and JoJo Parker, and was taking reps in left field. Shaw got off to a rough start at the plate, striking out on six pitches via the swinging K - both Bullard and Parker found the same fate in the first inning."

"Shaw then bounced back with a single in the top of the third inning, driving a 91 MPH fastball back up the middle into centre field. The Canuck put a good swing on the ball, registering a 106 MPH exit velocity. Shaw would use his wheels to score from first when Parker drove a double to right field, putting a couple of runs on the board for the Blue Jays."

"He would return to the plate at the top of the seventh inning, where he collected another single. After working to a 1-1 count, Shaw drove an outside changeup the other way, a slow dribbler that he was able to beat out. Shaw would score again later in the inning, cutting the Threshers' lead to 16-5. The left-handed bat would strike out in the top of the eighth to cap off the night."
