The Toronto Blue Jays are considering a change at closer, as manager John Schneider plans to discuss the struggles of Jeff Hoffman, who has blown three saves this season and holds a 7.59 ERA. Despite Hoffman’s high strikeout rate and potential, Schneider is evaluating his role and exploring support options. Louis Varland, who has yet to allow an earned run this season and secured a save against the Angels, may be the frontrunner to take over closing duties. Schneider acknowledged the distinct challenges of the ninth inning and praised Varland’s versatility in high-pressure situations.
