Blue Jays' playoff push clouded by four new injury concerns
x/the-toronto-blue-jays
— Sep 5, 2026
The Toronto Blue Jays, despite a late-season playoff push, face a battered rotation with multiple injuries and troubling updates on several veterans, including Cody Ponce’s distant return, Patrick Corbin’s season-long outlook, Luis Urias’s reinjury, and Jameson Taillon’s likely IL stint after his latest start. Still, they have steadied with series wins over the Royals and others, leaning on resilient performances and minor-depth reinforcements as they chase a playoff berth.

White House Rapid Response Account Labels Democratic Poll Respondents ‘Sick’ Over Support for Trump’s Early Exit
The official White House account @RapidResponse47 quoted a Center for Strategic Politics poll of Democratic voters and wrote “These people are sick!” The poll found a plurality of Democrats viewed positively several scenarios for Trump leaving office before the end of his term, including a military coup and death by natural causes; assassination was the only option with net-negative feelings but still drew ~29-32% positive responses. It is trending because the underlying poll itself went highly viral (2M+ views, hundreds of quotes) and an official Trump administration account amplified the condemnation, fueling partisan sharing and outrage.

Three homers plus that kind of pitching is a scary combo for the Guardians going forward. Blue Jays had no answer for Williams tonight.
