The Toronto Blue Jays have re-signed infielder Rafael Lantigua to a minor league contract and added Carlos Mendoza, while confirming agreements with Jorge Alcala, Eloy Jiménez, and Michael Plassmeyer, all receiving non-roster invites to big league camp. Lantigua, 27, previously played in Triple-A and spent last season with the Phillies’ farm team, batting .230 with a high on-base percentage but limited power. Mendoza, a left-handed hitter, excelled in the Detroit system, boasting a .287 average and more walks than strikeouts while playing primarily at Double-A. Both players aim to make their mark in the 2026 season with the Blue Jays.
