Blue Jays’ Wild-Card Lifeline in Boston | Toronto Blue Jays News

Toronto’s playoff hopes are hanging by a thread after a brutal homestand, and with the trade deadline looming, the Blue Jays may be pivoting toward rebuilding instead of racing. Facing a surging Boston Red Sox — who just snapped their 15-game win streak but still hold the final AL wild-card spot — this weekend’s series is a must-win for Toronto. Young righty Trey Yesavage takes the mound for the Jays in their first game against Boston since his last start, while the Red Sox counter with Patrick Sandoval, a lefty returning from injury. Both teams are battling injury woes, but this is a pivotal test for Toronto’s playoff dreams — and a chance to prove they still have fight left.
