The Toronto Blue Jays are navigating various roster and injury challenges during the 2026 season.

Early reports focused on specific player rehabilitation, including infielder Luis Urías, who was assigned to a rehab assignment for a right quad strain, and outfielder Anthony Santander, who began facing live pitching following shoulder surgery.

Subsequent updates highlighted broader organizational struggles, including difficulties replicating the team’s previous season momentum following the offseason departure of Bo Bichette to the New York Mets. The team is also managing the long-term financial and roster impact of pitcher José Berríos, who has been sidelined for the entire season due to Tommy John surgery.
