Blue Jays make roster decision regarding injured, struggling slugger

The Toronto Blue Jays have made a significant decision regarding infielder Lenyn Sosa, a player who showed promise with the team the previous season. Sosa is being sent to Triple-A Buffalo after clearing waivers and being reinstated from the injured list. The move comes after Sosa missed considerable time due to a right wrist contusion, an injury that kept him out since late May.

Initially acquired from the Chicago White Sox in April, Sosa was expected to bolster Toronto's lineup with offensive production and versatility. However, Sosa struggled, appearing in just 28 games and hitting .188 with one home run and one walk. This recent development is noteworthy as the 26-year-old had a breakout season in 2025, which led to his acquisition by Toronto.

The Blue Jays have given Sosa time to regroup and rediscover his form in the minors, hoping he can regain the offensive abilities that made him an intriguing addition earlier in the season.
