Here’s the latest on Lenyn Sosa and the Blue Jays.
- Lenyn Sosa was activated by Toronto and added to the active roster ahead of a series opener with the Milwaukee Brewers, after being acquired from the White Sox. This move also involved optioning Tyler Fitzgerald to Triple-A Buffalo to clear roster space.[1][3]
- Reports confirm Sosa’s activation occurred in mid-April 2026, with multiple outlets noting the trade that brought him to Toronto in exchange for Jordan Rich and a player to be named later or cash considerations. He’s expected to provide infield depth and some offensive pop during the injury-filled start to the season.[3][4][5][6]
- Additional coverage highlights: Sosa’s early 2026 performance had been modest prior to the trade (7-for-33 with 3 RBIs in 12 games), and the Jays reassigned a roster piece to make room for him on the 40-man roster, signaling a shift in infield depth as injuries mounted.[5][1][3]
Illustration of the roster move:
- New addition: Lenyn Sosa (INF)
- Departure/shift: Tyler Fitzgerald optioned to Triple-A Buffalo
- Context: Sosa acquired in early-season trade; Jays look to bolster infield depth amid injuries
