Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Goes on paternity list
The Blue Jays placed Little on the paternity list Thursday.
He'll be away from the club for a few days while welcoming a new baby to the family. Lazaro Estrada will absorb Little's spot on the Blue Jays' roster.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Picks up first hold
Little walked one and stuck out four over 1.1 scoreless, no-hit innings Monday to record his first hold of the season in a win over the Astros.
Mason Fluharty, the Blue Jays' top left-handed reliever, had worked the previous two days, so Little got a rare high-leverage opportunity and rose to the challenge. Over five appearances since returning to the big-league bullpen after the All-Star break, Little has a 2.45 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 11:3 K:BB over just 7.1 innings, so he could be earning a more prominent spot in a setup crew that just saw Jeff Hoffman traded to the Twins, and which looks increasingly unlikely to get Yimi Garcia (elbow/neck/biceps) back in 2026.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Recalled to Toronto
The Blue Jays recalled Little from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
After appearing in 79 games for the big-league club last regular season, Little has appeared in just six games with Toronto in 2026 as he makes his way back up to the major leagues. With Buffalo, the 29-year-old has posted a 7-1 record alongside a 2.53 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 46:25 K:BB through 32 innings this season. The Blue Jays optioned CJ Van Eyk to make room for Little on the active roster.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Back in minors
The Blue Jays optioned Little to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
Little joined the big-league roster Friday, but he'll be sent right back to the minors after giving up four earned runs in one inning during Friday's blowout loss to the Cubs. Lazaro Estrada (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Rejoins big-league bullpen
The Blue Jays recalled Little from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.
Little made the Opening Day roster but was sent down in early April after getting rocked for 11 runs (10 earned) over his first 3.2 innings. The 29-year-old appeared to get on track at Buffalo, authoring a 2.31 ERA and 32:19 K:BB across 23.1 frames. Little give the Blue Jays a second lefty in the bullpen alongside Mason Fluharty.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Moved to minors
Toronto optioned Little to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.
Little has had a disastrous start to the campaign, allowing 10 earned runs and giving up three homers while posting a 6:3 K:BB over 3.2 innings across five appearances. He was a big piece of the team's bullpen while working in a high-leverage role last season, so Little will presumably be given another chance with the big-league club if he's able to work out his issues with Buffalo. The Blue Jays selected the contracts of two relievers -- Austin Voth and Joe Mantiply -- among a series of transactions Sunday.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Tagged with loss in relief
Little (0-1) was tagged with the loss in relief Wednesday against the Rockies. He allowed one unearned run on one hit and one walk while striking out one across one inning.
Little allowed the game-deciding run in the 10th frame via an RBI single from Tyler Freeman into center field. It's been a rocky start to the season for Little, who has given up eight runs (seven earned) with a 4:3 K:BB across 2.1 innings in three appearances.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Secures bullpen spot
Little has won a spot in the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen, Gregor Chisholm and Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star report.
The 29-year-old will head into the season as the top left-handed option for manager John Schneider. Little dazzled this spring, posting a 0.00 ERA and 11:4 K:BB in six innings, and he racked up a career-high 30 holds in 2025 while producing a 3.03 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 91:45 K:BB in 68.1 innings.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Collects hold No. 25
Little struck out both batters he faced in the eighth inning Friday to record his 25th hold of the season in a win over the Marlins.
The southpaw leads the Blue Jays in holds, and Little is second in the American League in that category behind the Guardians' Hunter Gaddis (27). Little had a couple poor appearances in late July and early August, but he's otherwise been impressive in a breakout campaign, posting a 2.93 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 79:37 K:BB over 55.1 innings.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Secures 16th hold
Little gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless eighth inning Sunday to record his 16th hold of the season in a win over the Angels. He struck out one.
The 28-year-old southpaw was a first-round pick of the Cubs back in 2017, and that talent has finally shown through this season in a high-leverage relief role. Little's 16 holds leads the Blue Jays by a wide margin -- Yariel Rodriguez is second with 10 -- and has him sixth in the American League, six back of Houston's Bryan Abreu. Little backs up that setup success with a 2.18 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB through 41.1 innings.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Racks up 11th hold
Little gave up a run on two hits and a walk in the eighth inning Friday to record his 11th hold of the season in a win over the Twins. He struck out one.
The 28-year-old left-hander entered the game to protect a 6-3 lead, and after he put the first two runners aboard, a Royce Lewis single brought home the first earned run off Little since April 25. Little sported a 1.00 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB in 16 innings over that stretch with a 0.00 ERA, and as the top southpaw in the Toronto bullpen, he's become one of the key setup men in front of closer Jeff Hoffman.
