Blue Jays expected to recall Yariel Rodriguez on Monday
Rodríguez is expected to be selected to the Blue Jays active roster on Monday, according to a report from Sportsnet’s Ben Nicholson-Smith and Shi Davidi.
The 29-year-old right-hander was outrighted off Toronto’s 40-man roster in early December. The Blue Jays currently have an opening on their 40-man, but will need to make room on their active 26-man roster in order to activate Rodríguez.
After being outrighted, Rodríguez cleared waivers and reported to triple-A Buffalo after spending major-league spring training with the Blue Jays.
In 11 triple-A appearances this season, Rodríguez has posted a 2.63 ERA while recording 25 strikeouts and nine walks in 13.2 innings.
Rodríguez was one of Toronto’s most relied-upon relievers in 2025, posting a 3.08 ERA over 73 regular-season innings.
Despite the strong full-season totals, the six-foot right-hander struggled in the second half and post-season and threw just 2.2 innings for the Blue Jays in October.
