Simeon Woods Richardson was designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays on June 26, 2026, to create space for Adam Macko. Woods Richardson made three appearances for the Jays after being reacquired from the Minnesota Twins but struggled with a 7.74 ERA. Despite not allowing a run since his return, his underlying statistics were concerning, with more walks than strikeouts. Adam Macko, who has performed well since transitioning to relief, returns to the roster. Additionally, 3B/1B Sean Keys is expected to be activated, taking Woods Richardson's place on the 40-man roster as George Springer is likely to go on paternity leave.
