Blue Jays looking to continue momentum in Kansas City

As the Toronto Blue Jays gear up for their upcoming road series against the Kansas City Royals, they're aiming to maintain their momentum and push forward with confidence. Despite encountering some bumps early in the season, the Blue Jays are finding their rhythm and showcasing promising signs of improvement in their recent performances.

Securing victories against the Royals is not only crucial for bolstering the team's confidence but also for solidifying their position in the standings. Every win adds points to their tally and inches them closer to their postseason aspirations.

The Toronto Blue Jays made roster moves over the weekend, placing Chad Green on the 15-day injured list due to a right teres major strain. In response, Nate Pearson was called up from Triple-A Buffalo.


There's talk of promoting shortstop prospect Orelvis Martinez from Triple-A Buffalo, given his impressive performance. While Bo Bichette holds down shortstop, Martinez could slot in at second base.

Lefty Yusei Kikuchi (1-1, 2.08 ERA) takes the mound Monday. After a shaky season debut, he's bounced back in April with a 1-0 record and 1.04 ERA. Kikuchi pitched well against the Yankees last time out, striking out nine.

Despite past success against Kansas City, Yusei Kikuchi's career ERA against them is 6.37. Bobby Witt Jr. is 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against him.


Sustaining momentum can have a ripple effect on team morale and chemistry. Confidence breeds success, and each triumph serves to reinforce the Blue Jays' belief in themselves and their ability to compete at the highest level.

In a competitive league where every game matters, the Blue Jays must seize the moment and keep their momentum rolling against the Kansas City Royals. The path to success begins with a determined and focused mindset, and the Blue Jays are poised to rise to the occasion and assert their dominance on the diamond.
