5 Blue Jays who don’t deserve to be on the roster on June 1

We're nearly two months into the 2025 MLB season, and the Toronto Blue Jays find themselves hovering around the .500, although they're still on the fringes of the postseason picture.

The Jays have had their ups and downs, but have managed to stay afloat thanks to solid play from some important players on the roster.

We're on the the doorstep of June, which is when the MLB season really starts to get going. As a result, the Blue Jays will need to field the strongest team possible to give themselves the best chances at winning going forward, which means there could be some some roster shuffling on the horizone. Here are five candidates that might not be on the roster by June 1.

OF Jonatan Clase

A key piece of the Blue Jays' return for Yimi García from the Seattle Mariners at the 2024 trade deadline, Clase had fared well with the Jays so far. Last season, Clase batted .350 with a .985 OPS, three runs scored, one home run and two RBIs in his seven-game cameo with the major league club. 

The 22-year-old outfielder began this season in Triple-A Buffalo and continued that success by posting a strong .315 average with 10 runs scored, five doubles while stealing 15 bases over 27 games. That performance earned him a promotion earned him a promotion to the big leagues in the middle of May.

However, Clase has struggled mightily this time around, compiling a dismal .095 average with just two RBI and a whopping seven strikeouts in just 21 at-bats through six games. His lack of everyday playing time might have something to do with his underperformance, but those numbers still aren't great.

The fourth outfielder spot on the roster is in good hands with Nathan Lukes and Myles Straw, so the bet thing for Clase might be to send him back to the minors where he can play every day.
