Toronto Blue Jays officially announce Opening Day roster
The Toronto Blue Jays have officially announced their Opening Day roster for the 2022 season.
Coming off a 91-win season where they fell just one game short of a playoff spot in a stacked American League East Division, the Blue Jays are set to return to action this Friday when they host the Texas Rangers on Opening Day.
Jose Berrios will serve as Toronto’s starting pitcher tomorrow, with offseason signing Kevin Gausman likely to make his Jays debut this Saturday.
Other newcomers include Yusei Kikuchi, Yimi Garica, Zack Collins, Matt Chapman, and Gosuke Katoh.
It’s set to be a mega-competitive division again, with Fangraphs.com actually projecting four separate teams in the AL East all end up with 88 wins.
