Sosa making second straight start for Blue Jays
Lenyn Sosa is starting at second base and batting fifth against the Brewers on Thursday.
www.nbcsports.comHere’s the latest on Lenyn Sosa with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Key update
- Lenyn Sosa was acquired by the Toronto Blue Jays from the Chicago White Sox in April 2026, in a deal that sent minor-league outfielder Jordan Rich and a future consideration (or cash) to Chicago. The move was made to bolster Toronto’s infield depth amid injuries to several regulars. [Sources: Yardbarker article on the trade; The Score report on the trade details][1][4]
Additional context
- Sosa's arrival coincided with the Blue Jays managing a few shoulder and leg injuries among regulars, prompting roster adjustments to keep the infield flexible. In the immediate days after the trade, he was active with the club and in some lineups, though managers occasionally gave him rest days as the team integrated him.

Recent game involvement
- He has appeared in multiple games for Toronto since the trade, including occasional starts with a mix of defensive versatility at infield positions. There have been brief stretches where he was not in the lineup, likely to balance rest and lineup optimization as he acclimates to the Jays. [CBS Sports updates; The Score recap][3][4]
What this could mean for fantasy or depth charts
- Sosa’s role seems to be as a versatile infield option who can cover multiple spots, potentially stepping in for injured players or providing a right-handed bat off the bench. His lack of minor-league options left him with a clear path to big-league opportunities, but roster moves and health will heavily influence his playing time going forward.
