The Toronto Blue Jays could choose to call up right-handed pitching prospect Jake Bloss when rosters expand in September and employ a six-man starting rotation for the final month of the season. Bloss, who was acquired from the Houston Astros in the Yusei Kikuchi deal at the end of July, has made three starts for Triple-A Buffalo and has thrown 9 2/3 scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and five walks. Toronto hasn't been in a rush to call him up with rosters expanding, but they also would like to give their regular starts normal rest with a playoff spot not up for grabs. Per MLB Pipeline, the 23-year-old Bloss is Toronto's No. 3 prospect. Other candidates for a promotion when rosters expand this weekend include outfielders Jonatan Clase, Nathan Lukes and Alan Roden. Bloss began the year at High-A Asheville in the Astros' system. He could be in line for a regular rotation role in 2025 in Toronto.

Blue Jays Acquire Jake Bloss From Astros
The Toronto Blue Jays acquired right-handed pitching prospect Jake Bloss from the Houston Astros on Monday as part of the deal that sent left-hander Yusei Kikuchi to the Astros, according to sources. Bloss was scratched from his scheduled start on Monday against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and now we know why. The 23-year-old was Houston's No. 9 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and he could immediately join Toronto's rotation to close out the second half of his rookie campaign. The former third-rounder's fantasy stock is down after looking a bit overmatched so far in his first three big-league starts, as he's posted a 6.94 ERA and 1.63 WHIP with 11 strikeouts and three walks in 11 2/3 innings. Bloss doesn't have an overpowering arsenal and relies mostly on command, so fantasy managers can continue to ignore him for now in mixed leagues, especially with the move to hitter-friendly Rogers Centre.

Jake Bloss Scratched, Tayler Scott Making The Start For Houston
Houston Astros rookie right-hander Jake Bloss has been scratched from his scheduled start on Monday against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates due to undisclosed reasons, according to a source. Instead, right-hander Tayler Scott will get the nod against the Bucs. Bloss, the club's No. 9 prospect per MLB Pipeline, came off the injured list on July 11 with right-shoulder inflammation, so it's possible he's had a setback with his arm. The 23-year-old also gave up five runs on six hits (four homers) in his last start against the Oakland Athletics on July 23, so he wasn't going to be a very popular streaming candidate for fantasy managers against Pittsburgh. Scott, 32, will be making his first start of the year and just the fifth of his career after debuting way back in 2019. He's been great in 49 2/3 relief innings for Houston this year with a 1.45 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 50 K's and 23 walks, but he's only going to go an inning or two in what will be a bullpen game for Houston.

Jake Bloss Activated And Starting On Thursday
The Houston Astros activated rookie right-hander Jake Bloss (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list on Thursday and optioned pitcher Kaleb Ort to the minors in a corresponding move. Bloss will make the start in a very attractive matchup on Thursday at home at Minute Maid Park against the visiting Miami Marlins. However, it will only be Bloss' second major-league start and he'll likely be on a pitch count, so despite the excellent matchup, the 23-year-old is probably going to be a low-upside streamer in deeper fantasy formats. In his big-league debut for Houston on June 21 against the Baltimore Orioles, Bloss gave up two earned runs on six hits while walking one and striking out only two in 3 2/3 innings of work for a no-decision. He landed on the IL on June 22 with right-shoulder inflammation and got up to 55 pitches during a rehab start in the minors.

Jake Bloss Could Be An Option To Start Soon
Houston Astros rookie right-hander Jake Bloss (shoulder) could be an option to start for the team during their homestand that begins on July 9, according to manager Joe Espada. Bloss threw 20 pitches on Sunday in New York in his first bullpen session since he landed on the 15-day injured list on June 21 with right-shoulder discomfort and "walked away with a smile on his face," Espada said. Bloss had played catch for a couple of days previously. He's eligible to come off the injured list on July 7. The 23-year-old former third-round pick in 2023 out of Georgetown has made a quick rise to the big leagues and made his major-league debut in a start on June 21 against the Baltimore Orioles, giving up two earned runs on six hits while walking one and striking out two in only 3 2/3 innings. MLB Pipeline has Bloss ranked as Houston's No. 10 prospect.

Jake Bloss Added To 15-Day Injured List With Right Shoulder Discomfort
Houston Astros pitcher Jake Bloss was added to the 15-day IL with right shoulder discomfort, the team announced on Saturday. Bloss was called up this week to make a spot start against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday where he was removed in the fourth inning with an injury concern. The start was his major league debut and the first time he'd thrown in a game above Double-A. With the 22-year-old being added to the injured list, the Astros' rotation becomes even more depleted with them already having mainstays Justin Verlander and Cristian Javier on the IL. The Astros are expected to be in the mix to add a starting pitcher with the trade deadline coming up. Fantasy managers should be on the lookout for whoever the Astros call up or acquire as they'll likely be able to be plugged in quickly given their current injury situation.

Jake Bloss To Start On Friday For Astros
The Houston Astros are calling up right-handed pitching prospect Jake Bloss in order to make his major-league debut and start on Friday against the visiting Baltimore Orioles, according to a source. Bloss threw 6 1/3 no-hit innings on Saturday and has a sparkling 1.61 ERA in eight games with Double-A Corpus Christi this year. He is 4-2 with a 1.74 ERA in 12 starts with the Hooks and for High-A Asheville. He's the club's No. 10 prospect, per MLB Pipeline, and a third-round pick just last year, so it's a quick rise for the 22-year-old. With Justin Verlander (neck) currently on the injured list, Bloss could see several starts in the big leagues, although fantasy managers may want to temper expectations right off the bat. For one, he's making a big jump to the big leagues and will face one of the better offenses immediately.
