  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: In mix for early-season saves

    Mayza might be of a closer by committee for the Blue Jays early in the season while Jordan Romano (elbow) and Erik Swanson (forearm) are sidelined, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports

    Mayza should probably be third in priority for fantasy managers here, but he could be manager John Schneider's pick when the opposition has lefties due up in the ninth. The southpaw is coming off a 2023 season which saw him put up a 1.52 ERA and 53:15 K:BB over 53.1 innings.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Yet to allow run this spring

    Mayza gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless inning of relief during Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

    Entering the game in the fourth inning, Mayza fanned Jose Caballero en route to another clean frame. The veteran southpaw has a 0.00 ERA through four spring innings with a 5:1 K:BB, and after recording a career-high 22 holds in 2023, he's on track to be the top left-handed set-up man for closer Jordan Romano in the Toronto bullpen.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Settles with Toronto

    The Blue Jays and Mayza avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.59 million contract Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Mayza was arbitration-eligible for the second time. The southpaw reliever has been super reliable for Toronto over the last three seasons, posting a 2.67 ERA and 154:39 K:BB over 155 innings out of its bullpen.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Continues to see situational role

    Mayza gave up a hit but didn't allow a run in two-thirds of an inning during Sunday's loss to the Rangers.

    While MLB's rule changes the last few years have effectively eliminated the LOOGY role, apparently nobody told the Blue Jays. Mayza has worked less than one inning in nine of his last 11 appearances, recording four holds over that stretch with a 2.57 ERA and 6:2 K:BB through seven innings. His usage puts a firm limit on his fantasy value, even in deeper formats that score holds, but the 31-year-old remains a key part of the Toronto bullpen.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Secures one-out save

    Mayza retired the only batter he faced to earn the save in Sunday's 12-11 win over the Angels.

    Closer Jordan Romano blew his first save of the season Sunday, and Mayza was called upon to close out the 10th inning after Trevor Richards recorded the first two outs of the frame. Mayza now has one hold and one save with a 3.00 ERA through five outings, and he should continue to serve in a high-leverage role for Toronto.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Dominant in first hold

    Mayza struck out all four batters he faced to record his first hold of the season in Tuesday's win over the Royals.

    The southpaw cut through the bottom of Kansas City's order after entering the game with one out and one on in the seventh inning, fanning Vinnie Pasquantino, Jackie Bradley, Nate Eaton and Nicky Lopez on only 19 pitches (13 strikes). Mayza has collected at least 16 holds in three straight seasons, and he figures to be comfortably in double digits again in 2023 as the top lefty in the Toronto bullpen.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Looks good this spring

    Mayza posted a 1.42 ERA and 7:0 K:BB through 6.1 Grapefruit League innings this spring.

    The 31-year-old lefty appeared in only one Grapefruit League game after March 18 as the Blue Jays let their top set-up men get in most of their work on back fields late in camp. Mayza has racked up 52 holds over the last three seasons and figured to be Toronto's top relief option from the port side again in 2023.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Reaches terms with Toronto

    Mayza agreed to a one-year, $2.1 million contract with the Blue Jays on Friday to avoid arbitration, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Mayza was once again a solid bullpen piece for Toronto in 2022 and recorded two saves and 16 holds with a 3.14 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 44:12 K:BB across 48.2 innings. The veteran lefty should fill a similar role out of the bullpen in 2023.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Notches rain-aided save

    Mayza worked a perfect seventh inning to record his second save of the season in Monday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

    The game was called on account of rain after the top of the eighth inning, leaving Mayza with the save despite him coming in well before the ninth. The southpaw has had a couple stumbles over the final month of the regular season, but he still sports a 4.09 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB through 11 innings since the beginning of September with three wins and five holds in 16 appearances, in addition to both of his saves.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Vultures eighth win

    Mayza (8-0) walked one batter in one-third of an inning Monday to record the win in a 3-2 extra-inning victory over the Yankees.

    After Anthony Bass began the 10th inning and got the first two outs while also walking a batter, Mayza got the call from the bullpen and intentionally walked Aaron Judge to load the bases before getting Anthony Rizzo to ground out. Mayza was then rewarded for his brief performance when Vladimir Guerrero laced a walkoff single in the bottom of the frame. The lefty reliever has the most wins in the majors without a loss this season, and it's not even close -- the next-best unblemished record is a 5-0 mark held by a few different pitchers -- and Mayza's also supplied a 2.91 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB through 46.1 innings.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Reinstated from IL

    Mayza (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Mayza will return to the Blue Jays' bullpen after missing close to the minimum 15 days with a dislocated right shoulder. Since the beginning of July, the left-hander has produced a 2.51 ERA and 0.56 WHIP with nine strikeouts over 14.1 innings in 16 appearances. Zach Pop was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in order to open a roster spot for Mayza.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Beginning rehab assignment

    Mayza (shoulder) will report to Triple-A Buffalo to start a rehab assignment Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Mayza has been sidelined since suffering a dislocated right shoulder Aug. 6, and he'll return to game action exactly two weeks later. The left-hander has a 2.88 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 27:5 K:BB across 34.1 innings this year and should be able to rejoin the Blue Jays sometime next week.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Throws off mound

    Mayza (shoulder) threw off a mound Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Mayza landed on the 15-day IL with a dislocated shoulder Sunday, but it's encouraging that he's been cleared to resume mound work less than a week later. The Blue Jays hope that the southpaw will be able to return around the end of August.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Avoids season-ending injury

    Mayza (shoulder) is expected to return this season, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

    Mayza suffered a dislocated right shoulder in Saturday's game, but it appears as if the injury will not sideline him for the remainder of the season. The Blue Jays are hopeful that the left-hander will be able to return as soon as the end of August.

  • Blue Jays' Tim Mayza: Shelved with dislocated shoulder

    The Blue Jays placed Mayza (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

    Toronto replaced Mayza on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen with right-hander Trent Thornton, who was called up from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move. Mayza was diagnosed with a dislocated right shoulder following his early exit in Saturday's loss to the Twins, and though an official timeline for his return hasn't been provided, the southpaw could be in danger of missing the rest of the season. Mayza's absence now leaves the Blue Jays without a left-handed option in the bullpen.
