"Dallas is trying to use the 2026 season to get back on track in his pro-baseball career. The former fourth round draft pick of the Blue Jays (2021, No. 121 overall) was steadily climbing through the ranks and was even named the Blue Jays pitching prospect of the year in 2023. That year he moved from Single-A to Double-A and through a combined 123.1 innings, with a 10.51 K/9 rate with a 3.65 ERA."
"This was his first game action since the surgery and in spring 2026, Dallas through 2.2 innings and allowed just two hits, while striking out six batters. Those are positive steps for the 25-year-old who is no longer on the Blue Jays Top 30 prospects list. He's also relatively far down the depth chart going into 2026, but things can change quickly and if Dallas has a strong start to his season, he could get the call to make his MLB debut this season."
The Toronto Blue Jays reassigned five prospects to minor-league camp following Spring Training. Right-handed pitchers Chad Dallas, Ryan Jennings, and CJ Van Eyk, along with catcher Aaron Parker and infielder Cutter Coffee, were moved down despite showing some promise. Chad Dallas, a former fourth-round pick in 2021, was the Blue Jays pitching prospect of the year in 2023 before undergoing Tommy John Surgery in 2024. In Spring Training 2026, Dallas demonstrated positive progress, throwing 2.2 innings with six strikeouts and just two hits allowed. At 25 years old, Dallas remains off the top prospect list but could potentially earn an MLB debut call if he performs well early in the season.
