DFA'd by Toronto The Blue Jays designated Bastardo for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Bastardo was a Rule 5 pick last season but spent the entire year on the injured list while recovering from Tommy John surgery.

Falls short of roster spot Bastardo won't be on the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

Impact It's not clear yet what the organization plans to do with the right-hander, who was a Rule 5 pick ahead of the 2025 season but spent all of last year on the IL while he completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery. Bastardo struggled to find the plate this spring, posting a 5:7 K:BB over 7.2 Grapefruit League innings.

Back in action after TJ surgery Bastardo (elbow) has struck out two batters while allowing one walk and no hits over two scoreless innings through his first two Grapefruit League appearances.

Impact Bastardo appears to be back to full health entering the 2026 campaign after he was sidelined throughout the 2025 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent in the summer of 2024. After selecting Bastardo in the 2024 Rule 5 Draft, Toronto kept him on the injured list all of last season. Now that he's healthy again, Bastardo will have to spend at least 90 days on the Blue Jays' active roster during the 2026 season, or else Toronto will have to offer him back to the Red Sox.
