Summary
- Davis Schneider recalled to bolster the Blue Jays lineup.
- Spencer Arrighetti activated from IL to aid pitching rotation.

The Toronto Blue Jays executed a series of roster moves on Friday, recalling utility player Davis Schneider and activating pitcher Spencer Arrighetti from the injured list. These changes precede a series against the New York Yankees and are aimed at bolstering the team as they contend for a playoff spot.
Schneider, a fan favorite known for his distinctive style and versatility, returns to the major league roster. He can play second base and the outfield. Meanwhile, Arrighetti is expected to contribute innings on Friday against the Yankees, potentially filling the fifth starter role amidst ongoing pitching injuries.
The Blue Jays also placed infielder Josh Smith on the 10-day injured list due to left hamstring inflammation. Left-handed pitcher Brendan Cellucci was optioned to Triple-A. The team currently holds a 63-66 record and is only 0.5 games behind the final Wild Card position in their league.
Arrighetti's return from the injured list, where he was recovering from Morton's neuroma, is a key development. He is under contract through 2029, suggesting a potential long-term role. The team is navigating injuries to other pitchers, including Jameson Taillon and Trey Yesavage.
