What happened: The Toronto Blue Jays placed Jonatan Clase on the injured list with plantar fasciitis ahead of a matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays. Management also recalled Yohendrick Pinango and sent Lazaro Estrada to the minors. Additionally, Kevin Gausman can block trades to several clubs, including the Cincinnati Reds, Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers, New York Mets, Chicago White Sox, Pittsburgh Pirates, and Seattle Mariners.

Why it matters: Gausman's no-trade rights complicate Toronto's flexibility if they opt to sell, eliminating multiple potential landing spots. Clase's absence removes a depth piece as the club navigates the second half of the season.

By the numbers: The Blue Jays sit at 40-55 on the season, scoring 4.1 runs per game while allowing 4.7.

What to watch: Watch if Toronto engages with clubs absent from Gausman's veto list.
