Caissie helps surging Marlins reel in 8-2 win over Blue Jays

Miami enjoyed an early 1-0 lead after an opening double from Xavier Edwards. He scored on Canadian Otto Lopez’s one-out sacrifice fly to left. Blue Jays starter Trey Yesavage (2-2) retired 13 in order until a one-out double from Sanoja in the fifth. He was doubled home by Caissie of Burlington, Ont.

Yesavage yielded three runs in the sixth. He finished 6 2/3 innings, giving up five runs on five hits with two walks and six strikeouts in a 98-pitch outing.

Blue Jays 30-year-old righty Tanner Andrews made his MLBaseball debut with a 1-2-3 ninth inning. He was added to the roster to replace the injured Dylan Cease.

TAKEAWAYS

Blue Jays: Outfielder Nathan Lukes returned to the lineup with a three-single outing after a 28-game absence due to a left hamstring ailment. He reached base a fourth time when nailed in the head by reliever Andrew Nardi in the seventh. To make room for Lukes on the roster, Davis Schneider was optioned to triple-A Buffalo.

Marlins: Caissie’s 25th and 26th RBIs leaves him second on the Marlins behind Toronto native Liam Hicks, who has 44.

KEY MOMENT

Before the game, the Blue Jays placed Cease on the 15-day injured list with a left hamstring injury, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was listed as day-to-day because of left-elbow soreness after being hit with a pitch on Sunday.

KEY STAT

Until Monday, Guerrero was the only Blue Jays position player to have played in all of Toronto’s 53 games in 2026.

UP NEXT

The Blue Jays haven’t announced a starter for the middle game of their series against Miami on Tuesday. Righty Sandy Alcantara (3-3) will start for the Marlins.
