The Toronto Blue Jays released Eloy Jimenez from their Triple-A affiliate Buffalo Bisons on August 5, 2026, following a series of roster changes at the trade deadline. Jimenez, who signed a minor league contract earlier in the season, had a brief stint with the Blue Jays, appearing in 12 games with a.290 batting average. However, his lack of extra-base hits limited his impact on the team. The Blue Jays are reportedly overhauling their roster after several trades, including dealing Kevin Gausman and Daulton Varsho. Jimenez's release marks a significant turn in a career that has been hampered by injuries in recent years.
