Blue Jays Call Up Charles McAdoo as They Clear Roster Space

The Blue Jays plan to add infielder Charles McAdoo to the active roster ahead of their series opener vs. Baltimore, requiring space on both the 40-man roster and the active roster. McAdoo, a 2023 Pirates draftee traded to Toronto, has posted a strong minor-league season across High-A to Triple-A, hitting around .250 with eight homers in ~200 plate appearances, a 14% walk rate and a 20% strikeout rate. Baseball America ranks him as Toronto’s No.16 prospect, noting power and arm strength but questions about defense and contact; he’s primarily a corner infielder with limited middle-infield experience, and the move could impact the Jays’ bench as they navigate roster constraints.
