New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays match player stats in 2026 already carry massive storylines — this rivalry became one of MLB’s most intense after the Blue Jays eliminated the Yankees in the 2025 ALDS and went on to win the World Series.
The two teams met again in spring training on March 19, 2026, with Toronto dominating 11–0 at Rogers Centre.
From Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s historic postseason to Aaron Judge’s continued excellence and a dominant Blue Jays pitching staff, this breakdown covers every key stat across both the most recent game and the full 2025 rivalry record.
The most recent New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays match took place on March 19, 2026 at Rogers Centre in a spring training contest. Toronto won convincingly, 11–0, with the Blue Jays posting 14 hits against a Yankees pitching staff that struggled from the opening inning.
This was a spring training game, meaning many roster spots on both sides featured prospects and non-roster invitees. The result still demonstrated Toronto’s offensive depth and their ability to generate quality at-bats even without their starters playing full games.

Three Blue Jays hitters were especially productive in this shutout win, combining for five hits, three home runs, and seven RBIs.
George Springer was the best hitter on the field. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, 4 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. Springer drove in nearly half of Toronto’s run total by himself and looked fully healthy and dangerous to open the 2026 spring.
Daulton Varsho matched Springer’s energy with a 3-for-4 performance of his own. He hit a home run, drove in 2 runs, and scored twice. Varsho was a standout in the 2025 ALDS as well and continues to be one of the Blue Jays’ most consistent offensive contributors.
Andrés Giménez, acquired from Cleveland during the 2025 offseason to anchor the middle infield, homered in his 3-plate appearances, drove in 2 runs, and scored twice. His addition to the Blue Jays lineup gives them a quality hitter who can produce from both sides of the plate.

The Yankees’ offense was completely shut down. Only three players recorded hits across the entire lineup card.
Amed Rosario was the lone bright spot for New York, going 2 for 3 as a utility player working for a roster spot. He was the only Yankee with more than one hit all game.
Yanquiel Fernández, a prospect in the Yankees system, went 1 for 3 and was one of only three Yankees to reach base safely via a hit.
Paul DeJong drew a walk and went hitless but was one of the few Yankees to show any plate discipline against Toronto’s pitching.

Cody Ponce was outstanding for the Blue Jays as the starting pitcher. He threw 5.2 innings, allowed just 1 hit, struck out 5 batters, and did not give up a single run. He threw only 65 pitches, making him very efficient.
Toronto’s bullpen finished the game with ease. Yariel Rodríguez, Jeff Hoffman, and Jorge Alcalá each threw a clean inning, keeping the Yankees off the board completely.
Ryan Weathers was the losing pitcher for New York and had a rough outing. He lasted just 3 innings, allowing 8 hits, 7 earned runs, 2 home runs, and struck out 5. His ERA ballooned to 21.00 in this outing.
Cade Winquest relieved Weathers but fared no better in his one inning, giving up 3 hits and 2 earned runs with a home run.

The biggest chapter in recent Yankees vs Blue Jays player stats history came in October 2025 when Toronto swept the regular season series tiebreaker and then eliminated New York in the American League Division Series.
Both teams finished the 2025 regular season at 94–68, tied for the best record in the AL East. Toronto won the head-to-head tiebreaker for the division title, earning a first-round playoff bye while the Yankees had to fight through a Wild Card Series against Boston.
The Blue Jays then beat the Yankees 3–1 in the ALDS and went on to win the 2025 World Series over the Dodgers — their first championship since 1993.

Kevin Gausman started and won Game 1 for Toronto. Luis Gil took the loss for New York, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits in just 2⅔ innings. Alejandro Kirk hit two home runs — the first Mexican-born player to homer twice in a single postseason game. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. also homered as Toronto won for the seventh time in eight home games against New York that season.
Aaron Judge went 2 for 4 with a single and a double, making him the only Yankees player to reach base more than once in Game 1.
| Player | Team | Stat Line |
|---|---|---|
| Alejandro Kirk | TOR | 2 HR, Game 1 hero |
| Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | TOR | HR, multiple hits |

In Game 2, rookie Trey Yesavage set a Toronto Blue Jays postseason record by striking out 11 batters in 5⅓ no-hit innings. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit the first postseason grand slam in Blue Jays history. Daulton Varsho went 4 for 5 with two home runs, two doubles, 4 runs scored, and 4 RBIs. George Springer also homered and Ernie Clement added a home run as Toronto reached double digits in both runs and hits for the second consecutive game.
Max Fried took the loss for the Yankees despite entering the postseason 11–1 with a 1.82 ERA in starts following a New York loss during the regular season. Cody Bellinger homered and drove in three runs for New York in a losing effort.

In the clinching Game 4 at Yankee Stadium, eight Toronto pitchers combined to shut down the Yankees. Nathan Lukes delivered a two-run single and Addison Barger had three of Toronto’s 12 hits. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer each drove in a run. Jeff Hoffman earned the first postseason save of his career by retiring Austin Wells with the bases loaded to end the eighth inning.
Aaron Judge extended New York’s season one last time with an RBI single off the left-field wall with two outs in the ninth inning. Ryan McMahon also homered for the Yankees. But Toronto’s relentless contact approach proved too much.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was the offensive engine of Toronto’s ALDS run. He batted .529 with three home runs and nine RBIs across the four-game series, tormenting the Yankees the way David Ortiz, Ken Griffey Jr., and George Brett dominated their rivals in past eras.
His postseason grand slam in Game 2 was the first in Blue Jays franchise history. His combination of average, power, and clutch hitting made him the undisputed star of the series.
| Guerrero Jr. — 2025 ALDS Stats | Value |

Aaron Judge remained the Yankees’ best hitter in every game against Toronto, but he received very little support from his lineup in the moments that mattered most.
The Yankees went 1–8 against Toronto at Rogers Centre during the 2025 regular season and lost 11 of 17 total meetings between the two teams. Judge led New York in almost every offensive category against Toronto but could not carry the team alone through a full series.
Judge led all Yankees with 274 home runs over his career through the 2025 season and ranked first on the club in runs, OBP, SLG, and OPS consistently all season.
| Aaron Judge — 2025 Key Stats | Value |
|---|---|
| HR (full season) | League-leading |
| RBI (full season) | Team best |
| BA vs Toronto (reg. season) | Best on NYY |
| ALDS BA | Limited by Jays pitching |

The Blue Jays won eight of 13 regular-season meetings with the Yankees in 2025. That head-to-head edge gave Toronto the AL East title on the final day of the season when both clubs finished 94–68.
Toronto went 54–27 at home during the 2025 regular season, the best home record in the American League, and went 8–1 against New York at Rogers Centre over the full calendar year including the ALDS.
| 2025 Regular Season Series | Toronto Blue Jays | New York Yankees |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Record | 8–5 | 5–8 |
| Record at Rogers Centre | 7–2 (TOR home) | 2–7 (NYY road) |
| Record at Yankee Stadium | 1–3 (TOR road) | 3–1 (NYY home) |
| Final Season Record | 94–68 | 94–68 |
| AL East Title | Won (tiebreaker) | Lost (tiebreaker) |
Trey Yesavage, selected with the No. 20 pick in the 2024 amateur draft, rose through four minor league levels in 2025 before joining the Blue Jays and going 1–0 with a 3.21 ERA in three September starts. In the ALDS, he set a Blue Jays postseason record with 11 strikeouts against the Yankees, surpassing the previous record of 8 held by Dave Stieb, David Price, and Juan Guzmán. Eight of his 11 strikeouts came on his elite split-finger fastball.
His emergence gives Toronto a legitimate ace-caliber arm behind Kevin Gausman for years to come — and a pitcher the Yankees have no successful track record against.
Max Fried was the Yankees’ best pitcher in 2025, finishing 19–5 with a 2.86 ERA in the regular season. But Toronto was his kryptonite all year.
Fried was 0–1 with a 6.35 ERA in two regular season road starts against the Blue Jays, surrendering 10 total runs, 8 earned, along with 5 walks and 9 hits including 2 home runs. His Game 2 ALDS start was even worse — allowing 7 runs in just over 3 innings — costing New York a chance to even the series.
| Max Fried vs Toronto (2025) | Regular Season | ALDS Game 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Record | 0–1 | 0–1 |
| ERA | 6.35 | Very high |

| Earned Runs Allowed | 8 | 7 |

Toronto’s pitching depth was the defining advantage in their dominance of New York. The Blue Jays had Kevin Gausman as their ace, Shane Bieber returning from injury to go 4–2 with a 3.57 ERA after August, and Trey Yesavage arriving as a playoff weapon.
Bieber, the 2020 AL Cy Young Award winner with Cleveland, returned from elbow surgery and went 4–2 with a 3.57 ERA in seven starts from August onward. His ability to give Toronto a veteran presence in the middle of a playoff rotation was invaluable.
Carlos Rodón was the Yankees’ second starter behind Fried and performed reasonably well in the postseason, but couldn’t overcome New York’s offensive struggles against Toronto’s pitching.
| Pitching Comparison (2025) | Kevin Gausman (TOR) | Max Fried (NYY) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular Season W–L | ALDS Game 1 win | 19–5 |
| Regular Season ERA | Elite | 2.86 |

| ALDS Result | Won Game 1 | Lost Game 2 |
George Springer was a recurring theme in Toronto’s wins against New York in 2025. During the ALDS he homered in Game 2, and in the spring 2026 game he was the best hitter on the field with 3 hits, 4 RBIs, a home run, and a double.
Springer homered in ALDS Game 2 as Toronto reached double figures in hits and runs for the second straight game. His veteran experience and history of performing well in October makes him one of the most reliable players in any Toronto–New York matchup.
The 11–0 Blue Jays win on March 19, 2026 featured mostly bench and minor league players for the Yankees — it should not be taken as a predictor of regular season outcomes.
The Yankees’ biggest stars — Aaron Judge, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Austin Wells, Cody Bellinger — were not in the starting lineup for this spring contest. Ryan Weathers and Cade Winquest, who both struggled as starters, are fringe roster candidates rather than playoff contributors.
On the Toronto side, the presence of Springer, Varsho, Guerrero Jr., Giménez, and Kirk in the lineup gave a better picture of what their regular season attack will look like. Cody Ponce’s 5.2 shutout innings were an encouraging sign for the Blue Jays’ starting depth.
The Yankees and Blue Jays have played over 400 regular season games against one another since Toronto entered the AL in 1977. New York holds the all-time edge, but Toronto’s 2025 regular season sweep and World Series title run shifted momentum dramatically.
The 2025 postseason was the first time in franchise history that Toronto eliminated New York in the playoffs. It marked a genuine changing of the guard in the AL East pecking order.

The Yankees enter 2026 with Aaron Judge entering another MVP-caliber season, Max Fried healthy and motivated to fix his Toronto problem, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. bringing speed and power in the middle of the order.
Toronto returns Vladimir Guerrero Jr. — now on his record $500 million contract extension — as the cornerstone of their offense. The additions of Andrés Giménez and the continued development of Trey Yesavage give the Blue Jays both present-day punch and long-term pitching depth.
The AL East title and playoff bracket picture in 2026 will likely come down to these two clubs once again.
Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 11–0 on March 19, 2026 in a spring training game at Rogers Centre, with Cody Ponce throwing 5.2 shutout innings.
George Springer went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, 4 RBIs, and 2 runs scored, making him the standout offensive performer of the game.
Ryan Weathers was the losing pitcher, lasting just 3 innings while allowing 8 hits, 7 earned runs, and 2 home runs with an ERA of 21.00.
Yes. Toronto defeated New York 3–1 in the 2025 ALDS and went on to win the 2025 World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Guerrero batted .529 with 3 home runs and 9 RBIs across the four-game series, including the first postseason grand slam in Blue Jays franchise history.
Trey Yesavage was a 22-year-old Blue Jays rookie known for his elite split-finger fastball. He struck out 11 Yankees in 5.1 no-hit innings in ALDS Game 2, setting a new Toronto postseason strikeout record.
Both teams finished 94–68, tied for the AL East title. Toronto won the tiebreaker by going 8–5 in head-to-head games, earning the division crown and a first-round playoff bye.
Judge was the Yankees’ most consistent hitter but received little support. He had an RBI single in the ninth inning of Game 4 to extend the game briefly before Toronto clinched the series 5–2.
Fried went 0–1 with a 6.35 ERA in regular season road starts against the Blue Jays and then allowed 7 runs in Game 2 of the ALDS — one of the few matchups where the Yankees’ ace could not deliver.
The 2026 MLB regular season begins in late March 2026. The Yankees and Blue Jays will meet multiple times throughout the AL East schedule, with their home-and-away series dates announced on the official MLB schedule.
The New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays match player stats across 2025 and into 2026 tell the story of a rivalry that has fully flipped in Toronto’s favor.
The Blue Jays won 8 of 13 regular season meetings in 2025, swept New York in the AL East tiebreaker, and then eliminated the Yankees 3–1 in the ALDS on the way to their first World Series title since 1993.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Trey Yesavage, Daulton Varsho, and George Springer were the key performers.
The Yankees have the talent with Aaron Judge and Max Fried to challenge again in 2026, and the spring training result of March 19 — a 11–0 Blue Jays win — shows Toronto’s depth remains elite heading into the new season.
