The Toronto Blue Jays are on fire right now but are still dealing with some starting rotation issue which is why there has been rumors that they might bring Yariel Rodriguez back to the starting rotation.
The biggest issue the Blue Jays starting rotation has had this year is how much Bowden Francis has been struggling on top of a long list of injuries including Max Scherzer and Alek Manoah.
Blue Jays might look to put Yariel Rodriguez back in the starting rotation
The Blue Jays originally signed Rodriguez to be a starting pitcher but after having a rough season last year, they decided to move him to the bullpen for the 2025 season which has worked out beautifully.
Rodriguez took a bit of time to adapt to his new role as he had a 5.64 ERA on May 5th but has not not allowed a single run since that date and his ERA in now down to 2.61 with 29 strikeouts.

Despite all of this, some are calling for the front office to try him out in the starting rotation once again with Max Scherzer still out and Bowden Francis struggling.
This move might end up costing them a lot as it could end up affecting Rodriguez is a very negative way which is why it does not seem like the smartest decision, hopefully management decides to stick to the current plan.
