Toronto prepares for Royals series at Rogers Centre
Tuesday, August 25, 2026
The Toronto Blue Jays are back home tonight as they open a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals at Rogers Centre.
⚾ TONIGHT’S GAME
Kansas City Royals @ Toronto Blue Jays
📍 Rogers Centre, Toronto
🕖 7:07 p.m. ET
📺 Sportsnet / Royals.TV
Toronto enters the game 64–68, while Kansas City is 58–74.
🎯 PROBABLE STARTERS
Royals: Seth Lugo — 5–7, 4.71 ERA, 111 strikeouts
Blue Jays: Max Scherzer — 1–6, 7.40 ERA, 32 strikeouts
Scherzer will be looking to give Toronto length and stability as the Jays try to build momentum heading into the final weeks of the regular season.
🔥 VLAD IS BACK
One of Toronto’s biggest boosts is the return of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Guerrero was activated from the seven-day concussion injured list after completing the required concussion protocols and a rehab assignment.
His return gives the Jays another important middle-of-the-order bat as Toronto fights to stay in the playoff picture.
🏟️ RECENTLY
Toronto defeated the Yankees 4–3 on Saturday behind an outstanding performance from Dylan Cease, who carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning.
The Yankees answered Sunday with an 8–3 victory, leaving Toronto at 64–68 heading into tonight’s game.
📅 COMING UP
Toronto remains home for the rest of the week:
- Aug. 25: Royals @ Blue Jays — 7:07 p.m.
- Aug. 26: Royals @ Blue Jays — 7:07 p.m.
- Aug. 27: Royals @ Blue Jays — 7:07 p.m.
- Aug. 28: Mariners @ Blue Jays — 7:15 p.m.
- Aug. 29: Mariners @ Blue Jays — 3:07 p.m.
📊 THE PLAYOFF PUSH
With the calendar moving toward September, every game is becoming increasingly important.
Toronto’s 64–68 record leaves little room for extended losing streaks. The Blue Jays need consistent pitching, timely hitting and a healthy Guerrero if they are going to make a serious late-season push.
