Summary

Blue Jays Deadline

Blue Jays must win by at least a 9-7 margin before the Aug 3 trade deadline to remain viable.
Manager John Schneider said the inconsistent starts of Shane Bieber and Trey Yesavage must improve.
Health concerns include Spencer Miles’ workload, Kevin Gausman’s new windup, and Dylan Cease’s need for quality starts.
Schneider noted the team’s 11-17 record in one-run games and urged tighter defense, pitch selection, and baserunning to stop the bleed.
