Jays get day off after tough, successful run that put them back in the playoff hunt
Toronto finished 11-6 over 17 games in 17 days and moved back into the American League wild-card race before a six-game road trip.
After completing a demanding 17-game stretch, the Toronto Blue Jays will enjoy a well-deserved day of rest on Monday before embarking on a challenging six-game trip against Tampa Bay and New York.
Toronto finished the 17-day schedule with an 11-6 record, moving back into contention for an American League wild-card spot despite the August 3 trade deadline distractions.
Starter Dylan Cease recorded his 200th strikeout of the season during the recent Yankees series, throwing 104 pitches in a strong 6 1/3-inning outing despite the loss.
Manager John Schneider praised the team's resilience, emphasizing that maintaining momentum is crucial as the Blue Jays play "meaningful baseball" during their remaining 32 games.
Schneider confirmed that Jose Soriano, Max Scherzer, and Shane Bieber will start the upcoming six-game trip against the Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees.
