The Toronto Blue Jays have added to their pitching depth by bringing in a new veteran reliever.

Seeing the Blue Jays bring in another relief pitcher is understandable. They have been dealing with injury trouble throughout the season and could use more pitching depth. Because of this, it makes sense that they have claimed Sewald off waivers.

Sewald will now be looking to bounce back now that he is getting this fresh start with the Blue Jays. The 6-foot-3 righty has had a tough 2026 season, as he has a 2-5 record to go along with a 6.23 ERA in 45 games. This was after he posted a 4.31 ERA in 42 games split between the Cleveland Guardians and Detroit Tigers during this past season.
In 426 career MLB games split between the New York Mets, Seattle Mariners, Guardians, Tigers, and Diamondbacks, Sewald has posted a 23-31 record, a 4.30 ERA, and 110 saves. It will be interesting to see how much of an impact he can make with the Blue Jays from here.
