The Toronto Blue Jays have finalized their roster ahead of the 2026 season. Spencer Miles, a 25-year-old reliever, has successfully made the team after a competitive spring training.
Spencer Miles Joins Blue Jays Roster
Selected from the San Francisco Giants during the Rule 5 Draft in December, Miles has shown promising performance this spring. He competed mainly with Chase Lee for a spot in the bullpen.
Performance Overview
After recovering from Tommy John surgery that sidelined him in 2025, Miles showcased his abilities during the spring training. His statistics include:
- 4.91 ERA in the Arizona Complex League (2024)
- 10 strikeouts in 7.2 innings in 2024
- 3.72 ERA in 9.2 spring-training innings with the Blue Jays
- 11 strikeouts and five walks during spring training
Leo Jimenez Designated for Assignment
In another roster move, infielder Leo Jimenez has been designated for assignment. This decision likely clears the path for Davis Schneider to join the opening-day lineup.
Jimenez’s Statistics
Jimenez had a challenging stint with the Blue Jays in 2025, participating in 18 games. His performance included:
- 0.69 batting average
- .129 on-base percentage
- .172 slugging percentage
- One home run and one RBI in 29 plate appearances
