The Toronto Blue Jays and Pittsburgh Pirates got into an altercation on Monday night stemming from a Tommy Pham walk in the seventh inning.

The Toronto Blue Jays have climbed inside the Top 5 of the latest power rankings by MLB insider, Will Leitch. He placed the Jays at No. 3, the highest American League team, in his rankings earlier this week. Toronto trails the No. 1 Milwaukee Brewers and last year's world champions, the Los Angeles Dodgers.

There are legendary baseball players — and then there's José Bautista. A figure who, at least to Toronto Blue Jays fans, is in a league of his own. During his 10 seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, the six-time MLB All-Star blossomed into " one of the best power hitters" in the league — and a superstar player on Canadian soil.

The Toronto Blue Jays are projected to part ways with their franchise shortstop after a sudden decline in his on-field play.

The expectation was that he would help fill in the rotation behind Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt and Kevin Gausman. But, since that point, the team has been receiving consistent production from Max Scherzer and Eric Lauer as well.
