The Blue Jays have released infielder Lenyn Sosa, according to the team's transaction log.

This closes out a season that started with real promise but never found its footing after injury derailed his year.

Acquired from the White Sox in April, Sosa appeared in 40 games for Toronto, hitting .124 with one home run and nine RBIs across 113 at-bats.

He was hit on the wrist by Sandy Alcantara in late May, an injury that ultimately unraveled the rest of his season.

A rehab assignment fell apart after just three games in June due to continued discomfort, pushing his timeline further back.

He eventually cleared outright waivers in late August and reported to Triple-A Buffalo, opening that stint with a strong debut that included a hard-hit double.

But that spark never translated into a sustained run, and Toronto has now moved on entirely.

Why this closes a disappointing chapter for both sides

Sosa's 2025 season with the White Sox included 22 home runs, a completely different offensive profile than what showed up in Toronto this year.

That gap between his known power upside and what actually happened in a Blue Jays uniform defined his entire tenure with the organization.

Injuries, a failed rehab attempt, and inconsistent performance at every level made his path back to relevance in Toronto increasingly difficult as the season wore on.

Release, rather than another outright assignment, gives Sosa the freedom to sign with any organization immediately rather than remaining tied to Toronto's system.

For a 26-year-old with real pop in his bat when healthy, another club may still see enough upside to take a chance on him this offseason.

Whether Sosa rebuilds his career elsewhere, or this injury-plagued season marks a turning point in the wrong direction, is the next chapter for him to write outside the Blue Jays organization.
