The Toronto Blue Jays have been having a rather brutal start to their 2026 campaign after suffering numerous injuries to their pitching staff. Heading into the season, the Blue Jays were looking quite solid, with hopes held high for a potential run to the postseason and beyond.

But now, their pitching staff is plagued with various injuries. Among those out of commission are Trey Yesavage, Shane Bieber, Yimi García, José Berríos and Cody Ponce, to name a few. With such a dwindling pitching staff, the Blue Jays could be in trouble.

Ahead of Opening Day, the Major League Baseball power rankings revealed that Toronto was ranked at No. 2, just shy of the Los Angeles Dodgers, who, as expected, came in at No. 1. However, with the Blue Jays’ troubling trajectory, they’ve found a new home in the rankings.
