Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Cleared to start Wednesday
Loperfido (thumb) will start in right field and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
During the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader with Baltimore, Loperfido jammed his left thumb on a play at the plate in the fourth inning, though he was able to finish out the contest. The Blue Jays opted to hold him out of the lineup for their 3-2 loss in the second game of the twin bill, but the young outfielder will be ready to go for the series finale. Loperfido has produced a strong 1.017 OPS over 53 plate appearances with Toronto this season, but he could nonetheless be at risk of losing out on a regular role if Daulton Varsho (hamstring) returns from the injured list this weekend as anticipated.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: X-ray comes back negative
Loperfido was sent for an X-ray after jamming his left thumb in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Orioles, and those tests came back negative, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Loperfido injured the thumb on a play at home plate in the fourth inning. He remained in the game, adding a single and a home run after the injury as part of a three-hit day, so it wouldn't appear the thumb is much of a hindrance. Loperfido is not in the lineup for the second game of the twin bill, although it's not clear whether that's related to the thumb.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Swipes first bag of season
Loperfido went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.
Getting the start in left field and batting seventh, Loperfido did his part in a balanced Blue Jays 13-hit attack that saw every starter except Will Wagner collect at least one knock. The steal was Loperfido's first in the majors this season in 14 contests, but it might be his last -- with Daulton Varsho (hamstring) closing in on his return, the 26-year-old might be battling with Davis Schneider to avoid getting bumped back to Triple-A Buffalo. Loperfido has made a strong case to stick around, batting .351 (13-for-37) with two homers and seven RBI since his early-July promotion.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Smacks second homer
Loperfido went 2-for-5 with a solo home run during Thursday's 11-4 win over the Tigers.
Loperfido was one of three Blue Jays to leave the yard Thursday. It was the second time he's homered since being called up to the majors in early July. Since being recalled from Triple-A Buffalo, the outfielder has been hot at the plate, slashing .324/.361/.529 with seven RBI in 34 at-bats.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: On bench versus lefty
Loperfido is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
The left-handed-hitting Loperfido had been included in the lineup in both of the previous two contests, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday while southpaw Max Fried toes the rubber for the Yankees. Loperfido will likely see his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching take a hit once Daulton Varsho (hamstring) potentially returns from the injured list later this week.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: On base three times in win
Loperfido went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's win over the Giants.
The 26-year-old outfielder was out of the starting lineup for the last three games before the All-Star break due to an illness, but Loperfido looked 100 percent healthy when the Jays resumed their schedule. He's made a big impact since joining the big-league roster in early July, going 7-for-17 (.412) with a homer, two runs and six RBI in six contests.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Over illness, but out of lineup
Loperfido (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
The left-handed-hitting Loperfido will miss out on a third straight start, but his absence likely has more to do with the Athletics sending a second consecutive lefty starter (Jeffrey Springs) to the bump rather than any concern about his health. Loperfido was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game due to an illness, but he was deployed as a pinch hitter in Saturday's 4-3 loss, drawing a walk in his lone plate appearance.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Sitting again Saturday
Loperfido (illness) isn't in the starting lineup versus the Athletics on Saturday.
Loperfido was scratched from Friday's contest due to an illness and is beginning on the bench again Saturday. However, it's worth noting that Toronto is facing a lefty starter in the Athletics' Jacob Lopez, so Loperfido may not have started regardless of the illness. It remains to be seen if Loperfido will be back in the lineup for the Blue Jays' final game before the All-Star break Sunday afternoon, as the A's are slated to start another lefty (Jeffrey Springs) in that contest.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Scratched with illness
Loperfido was scratched from the lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Athletics due to an illness, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.
Loperfido has been hot since arriving in Toronto on Sunday, going 5-for-14 with a homer and five RBI in four games. However, he'll take a day off Friday to recover from his illness, which will allow Myles Straw to enter the starting nine as the Jays' center fielder.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Delivers first MLB homer of '25
Loperfido went 2-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI in Monday's 8-4 win over the White Sox.
Loperfido recorded a multi-hit performance and launched his first home run of the season in just his second game since being called up from Triple-A Buffalo. He may not be locked into an everyday role with the Blue Jays just yet, but his ability to play all three outfield spots could allow him to gain traction in the lineup if he's able to maintain a hot bat.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Drives in run in 2025 debut
Loperfido went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Sunday's win over the Angels.
Getting the start in right field and batting eighth in his season debut for the Blue Jays, Loperfido made an instant impact when he brought Myles Straw home with a fourth-inning single, although he got caught in a rundown and tagged out trying to advance to second base. Loperfido had been on a roll at Triple-A Buffalo, slashing .303/.343/.455 with seven doubles and a homer over his last 15 games prior to his promotion Sunday, but it's not clear how much playing time he'll see during his current stint in the majors as Toronto has plenty of options for the corner outfield spots.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Called up Sunday
The Blue Jays recalled Loperfido from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. He'll start in right field and bat eighth in the Blue Jays' series finale versus the Angels.
The 26-year-old has spent the first few months of the season at the Triple-A level, and he'll receive his first look in the majors of 2025 with Andres Gimenez (ankle) hitting the injured list in a corresponding move. Loperfido has a .278/.354/.422 slash line with six home runs and 10 steals in 76 games with Buffalo this season.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Fails to make Opening Day roster
The Blue Jays optioned Loperfido to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Loperfido was thought to be a frontrunner to either play center field if Daulton Varsho (shoulder) wasn't ready or left field if Varsho was on the active roster, but he ultimately didn't make the cut. The 25-year-old has slashed .207/.303/.414 with no home runs and a 9:4 K:BB over 14 games this spring.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Top option to fill in as CF
Loperfido has received most of the playing time in center field this spring while Daulton Varsho (shoulder) has been limited to DH duties, and the former Astro is the favorite to be the Blue Jays' Opening Day center fielder, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Loperfido hasn't done much with his bat in Grapefruit League action, batting .160 (4-for-25) with a 3:7 BB:K and zero home runs, but three of his four hits have gone for extra bases. The 25-year-old struggled at the plate last season as well after being acquired from Houston, but Toronto still believes in his potential after he slashed .256/.352/.498 with 18 homers and 13 steals in 71 games for Triple-A Sugar Land prior to being part of the Yusei Kikuchi deal.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Good to go Friday
Loperfido (neck/back) is starting in center field and batting leadoff in Friday's split-squad game against the Yankees, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
The 25-year-old has been sidelined since Tuesday when he collided with the outfield wall, but he's returning to action Friday after taking a few days to rest up. Loperfido posted a .614 OPS in 81 regular-season games between the Blue Jays and Astros as a rookie last season and could secure a starting outfield job during spring training.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Could return to games by Friday
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Wednesday that Loperfido (neck/back) will go through a full workout Thursday and could return to Grapefruit League play as soon as Friday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Loperfido suffered a neck/upper-back injury Tuesday when he collided with the outfield wall, but he emerged without any serious injuries and is not expected to miss much time. The 25-year-old is competing for a starting job in Toronto's outfield.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: No concussion symptoms
Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Tuesday that Loperfido (neck/back) is not experiencing any concussion symptoms, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Loperfido was involved in a scary situation during Tuesday's game versus the Cardinals when he stumbled and crashed head-first into the outfield wall while chasing down a flyball. However, he appears to have avoided a serious injury, escaping with merely some neck and upper-back discomfort. Loperfido will be re-evaluated Wednesday but "hopefully doesn't miss much time," per Schneider.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Exits after slamming into wall
Loperfido left Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Cardinals after awkwardly slamming into the outfield wall, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Per Matheson, Loperfido was holding his neck/head area and exited with trainers. He is competing for a starting outfield job this spring.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Dealing with neck injury
Loperfido was removed from Tuesday's Grapefruit League game versus Cardinals with neck discomfort after colliding with the outfield wall, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.careports.
Loperfido was attempting to catch what wound up being a triple for Victor Scott and slammed into the wall awkwardly. It appears at this point that he has avoided a concussion, but it's not clear how long the neck issue might sideline the young outfielder.

Blue Jays' Joey Loperfido: Gets start in center field Saturday
Loperfido went 1-for-2 with a double in Saturday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
More importantly, the 25-year-old got the start in center field, a spot the Blue Jays will likely need to fill for the first week or two of the season while Daulton Varsho completes his recovery from shoulder surgery. Loperfido, acquired from the Astros last year in the Yusei Kikuchi trade, slashed just .197/.236/.343 over 144 plate appearances for Toronto in 2024, but his defensive versatility in the outfield and 20-20 upside if he puts everything together appear to make him the early favorite to be Varsho's understudy. Jonatan Clase, Nathan Lukes and Myles Straw also figure to get looks in center field during spring training.
