Outfielders include switch-hitter Blaine Bullard (late-round pick, S/L, 6'2", 180 lbs, born August 16, 2006), contributing speed and gap power, while catchers like Dylan Leach (S/R, 5'11", 205 lbs, born September 13, 2002) anchor the lineup with defensive framing drills. The pitching staff features college arms such as left-hander Micah Bucknam (4th round, L/L, 6'1", 212 lbs, born August 26, 2003), who posted a 3.45 in 15 appearances, and high school signee Johnny King (2024 3rd-round holdover, LHP, debuted in FCL with seven strikeouts in his first start before promotion). Managed by John Tamargo Jr., the staff includes hitting coaches Jacob Caples and Paul Elliott, and pitching coaches Yoel Hernandez, Alex Kachler, and , who incorporate metrics like exit velocity (averaging 92 mph team-wide) to refine swing mechanics and pitch recognition in a developmental environment. The team finished 34-25, reaching the FCL championship series but falling short in the final on July 28 with a focus on process over outcomes. The DSL Blue Jays split into Blue and Red squads in 2025, drawing from the 2024-25 international signing class with a total of 60 players, mostly 17- and 18-year-olds from the , , and , emphasizing age-appropriate fundamentals like baserunning and error reduction. The Blue team (30 players) features a pitching-heavy roster (19 pitchers) including right-handers Freigher Barco (R/R, 6'0", 190 lbs, born January 13, 2006) and Geremy Barroso (R/R, 6'2", 180 lbs, born February 14, 2006), both 2024 signees who combined for 85 innings with sub-4.00 ERAs in early outings. Infielders spotlight top prospect Cristopher Polanco (signed for $2,297,500, L/R, 5'10", 174 lbs, born January 3, 2008), who hit .295 with 12 stolen bases in 40 games, showcasing plus speed and arm strength. Catchers like Yeicer Crespo (R/R, 5'9", 220 lbs, born November 28, 2007) and outfielders such as Elian Reyes (L/R, 6'4", 185 lbs, born July 30, 2008) round out a youth-focused group averaging 17.5 years old. Managed by Danny Canellas, the staff includes bench coach Dieferson Barreto, hitting coach Ricardo Nanita, and pitching coach Victor Ramos. The Red team (30 players) mirrors this structure, with pitchers like Carlos Almonte (R/R, 6'5", 220 lbs, born August 18, 2003) leading with velocity up to 95 mph, and infielder Juan Sanchez (top signee, R/R, 6'3", 180 lbs, born September 27, 2007), who debuted with a .312 average and defensive range at third base. Catchers include Diego Arce (R/R, 5'10", 225 lbs, born October 29, 2007), while outfielders like Pascual Archila (L/L, 5'10", 172 lbs, born January 23, 2007) add athleticism. Managed by Ashley Ponce, coaches include Jose Ferrer (bench), Jesus Azuaje (hitting), and Rafael Monsion (pitching). The Blue team ended 22-33, using the platform to track developmental metrics like exit velocity (team average 88 mph) for bat speed gains. The Blue Jays' Dominican program plays a pivotal role in global , signing 22 players from six countries in the 2024-25 period and integrating them through bilingual instruction and cultural programs to foster long-term retention and skill growth. This approach, rooted in academies like the one in , supports the organization's pipeline by identifying talent from expanded regions, with 29 of MLB's top 50 international prospects in 2025 hailing from the via similar pathways.

Rehabilitation Assignments

Active Rehab Players

As of November 2025, following the conclusion of the 2025 MLB season and playoffs, there are no Toronto Blue Jays players on active rehabilitation assignments in the . During the off-season, injured players typically focus on recovery programs, with potential return to game action in 2026.

Notable Rehab Histories

One of the most prominent examples of successful rehabilitation in Toronto Blue Jays minor league history is that of reliever , who tore his during 2015 spring training and underwent surgery in April 2015, performed by Dr. James Andrews. The procedure sidelined him for the entire 2015 season, during which Romano endured a rigorous 12-to-18-month recovery timeline involving gradual throwing programs, biomechanical adjustments, and mental conditioning to combat the isolation and doubt common in such rehabs. Upon returning in 2016 with High-A , he posted a 2.11 ERA over 42.2 innings, showcasing improved velocity and command that transitioned him to a relief role; by 2018 in Double-A New Hampshire, Romano struck out 10.5 batters per nine innings, earning a promotion to the majors in 2019 where he evolved into an closer with a career 2.91 ERA through 2023. Similarly, Roberto 's recovery from surgery on July 30, 2013, sustained during a start for Class-A , exemplifies a swift and impactful return for Blue Jays prospects. Osuna, a highly touted international signee, followed a standard 12-month rehab protocol, including assignments starting in the where he logged 10.1 innings with a 3.48 . By 2014 in Double-A , he refined his and , achieving a 2.62 and 11.2 strikeouts per nine innings, which accelerated his path to a 2015 MLB debut as the team's closer at age 20; Osuna saved 20 games as a rookie and amassed 109 saves over five seasons with before a 2018 trade, demonstrating how effective rehab can preserve elite velocity (averaging 96 mph post-surgery). Psychological support during his downtime, including team counseling, helped mitigate the frustration of lost development time, contributing to his long-term command gains. Nate Pearson's multifaceted rehab history in the early 2020s highlights the challenges and variable outcomes for Blue Jays pitching prospects dealing with non-surgical injuries. Selected by the Blue Jays in the first round of the 2017 MLB Draft, Pearson suffered a Grade 1 lat strain in June 2022 during a Triple-A Buffalo rehab start, following prior setbacks from mononucleosis and a 2021 groin injury; his recovery spanned three months of rest, platelet-rich plasma injections, and a structured minor league progression beginning with 1.2 scoreless innings in Single-A Dunedin on May 26, 2022, building to 4.1 innings in Double-A New Hampshire by mid-June. Despite reaching the majors later that year with a 6.00 ERA in limited action, Pearson's recurring issues led to a 3.83 ERA across 2023-2024 minor league stints, underscoring lower call-up success rates for multi-injury cases—estimated at around 40% for full velocity restoration in similar profiles—though his fastball touched 99 mph post-rehab, offering hope for sustained careers if durability improves. In 2024, newly acquired outfielders like Yohendrick Piñango and outfielder RJ Schreck (traded from the Cubs and Mariners, respectively) navigated early-season minor injuries during their integration into the Blue Jays system, with Piñango missing brief time for a strain in Double-A before resuming play in , and Schreck completing a short lower-body rehab in the ahead of his Triple-A Buffalo debut. These cases aligned with broader organizational trends, where rehab timelines averaged 4-6 weeks for soft-tissue issues, facilitating seamless transitions without long-term impacts on their .865 and power-hitting profiles in subsequent games.
