Big Changes in Blue Jays Roster!

In a surprising turn of events, the Toronto Blue Jays have announced the promotion of outfielder Will Robertson to the major leagues. This exciting update coincides with the decision to place Nathan Lukes on the 7-day concussion list, a move confirmed by manager John Schneider.

A Promising Talent from Buffalo

Will Robertson, 27, has been making waves since being drafted in the fourth round by the Jays back in 2019. His initial years were marked by a few setbacks, including a canceled minor league season in 2020. However, he finally began to shine in 2023, showcasing impressive stats at the Double-A level with a .245 average and 19 homers—leading to his promotion to Triple-A Buffalo.

From Struggles to Stardom!

Though Robertson faced challenges with his strikeout rates and batting averages earlier in his career, 2025 has proven to be a breakout year. In just 51 games with Buffalo this season, he’s boasting a stellar .288 batting average, a remarkable 17% walk rate, and 12 home runs. His overall performance has secured him an impressive 159 wRC+, making him one of the standout players in the International League.

Not Just Another Player!

Despite not being included in MLB.com's Top 30 Blue Jays prospect list, Robertson's recent exploits suggest that he’s finally ready to make a serious impact at the big league level. His remarkable turnaround has grabbed the attention of the Blue Jays' management, leading to this timely promotion. Blue Jays fans will be eagerly watching to see how he performs against major league competition after such a strong showing in the minors.
