The Toronto Blue Jays are facing significant offensive struggles in the 2026 MLB season, scoring only 68 runs in 18 games. They rank fifth-worst in the league for runs scored and have a batting average of .228 with a .621 OPS with runners in scoring position. Notably, they are the only team without a home run in such situations. Their previous success in 2025 was due to clutch hitting, which they currently lack, impacting their ability to win games.
