Hoffman’s Struggles Cost Blue Jays | Toronto Blue Jays News

Jeff Hoffman’s shaky pitching season is hitting a new low as he’s surrendered stolen bases on 13 of 16 attempts — prompting manager John Schneider to demand catcher adjustments. Signed to a $33M deal in January 2025 after a stellar 9-7, 84-K season, Hoffman now carries a 5-6 record, more hits allowed, fewer strikeouts, and just five saves in 44 appearances. His latest outing — a 3-hit, 2-run inning against the Padres — helped sink Toronto to 45-51 in 2026. The Blue Jays are clearly pressing him to fix his biggest weakness before it’s too late.
