Blue Jays Call Up Sean Keys to Boost Offense
The Toronto Blue Jays are adding 23-year-old infield prospect Sean Keys to both the 40-man and active rosters, with a likely Saturday activation. Keys, a 2024 fourth-round pick, has posted strong offensive numbers across the minors this season, including 21 homers and a high walk rate, culminating in a .284/.409/.619 line and 164 wRC+ across Double-A to Triple-A. Baseball America tabs him as the Jays’ 14th-best prospect, though his defensive experience is limited to first and third base, with talk of possible corner-outfield reps as the club seeks an offensive spark behind Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Kazuma Okamoto, and George Springer. With the Jays’ team line at .249/.311/.391 (96 wRC+) and a 39-42 record, Keys could contribute offensively as the team pursues a tighter playoff race."
