Joey Loperfido speaks on replacing Anthony Santander on the roster
After last night's 8-2 win to tie up the series at 2-2 Loperfido was asked about the big roster move the Blue Jays made involving him ahead of game time.
Loperfido stated that he has been dealing with a lot of fear of missing out over this last two series as he just wanted to be a part of it all and is very excited to finally get on the roster.
"I feel like I had the worst fomo of all time," Joey Loperfido on getting added to the Blue Jays ALCS roster in Game 4. #BlueJays

While there is still no guarantee that Loperfido will even get in a game this series, fans have been very happy with the news since they know he will give it everything he has if he does start.
Loperfido has not seen a ton of playing time in the majors this season but has proved that he can be a solid hitter in 2025 with 4 homeruns and 14 RBIs in 96 at bats this season.
Should the Blue Jays start Joey Loperfido?
