The Toronto Blue Jays announced the promotion of Charles McAdoo from Triple-A on Thursday, filling the roster spot left by Lenyn Sosa, who has been placed on the 10-day Injured List. Despite the promotion, McAdoo is not in the starting lineup for the game against the Baltimore Orioles. The Blue Jays have opted to keep their established veterans in key positions, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. at first base, Ernie Clement at second base, Kazuma Okamoto at third base, and George Springer serving as the designated hitter. This decision is not surprising given the team's established infield and DH roles. However, McAdoo is expected to receive opportunities to play soon, especially if Okamoto's performance does not improve. The Blue Jays may allow McAdoo to acclimate to the major leagues before putting him in the lineup, with a potential appearance on Friday or as a pinch-hitter in the current game being likely. The team's strategy reflects a balance between giving McAdoo time to adjust while also addressing the need for performance in the lineup.
