The Toronto Blue Jays kicked off their 2025 season with a solid 5-2 homestand, splitting a four-game series against the Baltimore Orioles and sweeping the Washington Nationals. Manager John Schneider praised the team's performance, highlighting the positive energy in the clubhouse. Key players like Andrés Giménez and George Springer have started strong, with Giménez hitting three homers and Springer showing signs of rejuvenation after a down year. Rookies Will Wagner and Alan Roden are making their presence felt, while Bo Bichette has rebounded from last season’s struggles.

Despite veteran starter Max Scherzer’s early thumb injury, which put him on the injured list, the pitching staff has stepped up, with Easton Lucas impressing in relief. The team's average of 4.57 runs per game marks an improvement over last year's 4.14, setting a positive tone as they prepare for a challenging schedule ahead, including a series against the New York Mets and other playoff contenders.
