Blue Jays Set to Promote Versatile Infield Prospect<\/p>\n

One of the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a>\u2019 top minor league bats is headed to the majors.<\/p>\n

According to ESPN\u2019s Jeff Passan<\/a>, the Blue Jays are calling up infield prospect Charles McAdoo from Triple-A Buffalo. His first appearance will mark his MLB<\/a> debut. Toronto must clear spots on both the active and 40-man rosters to make the transaction official.<\/p>\n

McAdoo, 24, was acquired in the 2024 trade deadline deal that sent infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Pittsburgh Pirates<\/a>. The former 13th-round pick ranks No. 26 in Toronto\u2019s farm system, according to MLB Pipeline<\/a>, and is a distant cousin of Basketball Hall of Famer Bob McAdoo.<\/p>\n

Through 202 Triple-A plate appearances this season, McAdoo has produced a .250\/.356\/.436 slash line with eight home runs, 27 RBIs and six stolen bases. He primarily splits his time defensively between the two corner infield spots, though he has made a pair of starts at second base within the past week.<\/p>\n

Toronto recently sent down utilityman Davis Schneider<\/a>, a move that left Lenyn Sosa as the club\u2019s lone reserve infielder. Much like Schneider, Sosa has struggled offensively, producing a .480 OPS over 84 plate appearances. The 26-year-old is out of minor league options, meaning he would have to clear waivers if the team attempts to send him down.<\/p>\n

The addition of McAdoo brings another right-handed bat to a Blue Jays roster that is predominantly left-handed. While he is blocked by Vladimir Guerrero Jr<\/a>. at first base and Kazuma Okamoto at third base, his defensive versatility and offensive pop should help him earn playing time off the bench.<\/p>\n
