Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Collects hold No. 25
Little struck out both batters he faced in the eighth inning Friday to record his 25th hold of the season in a win over the Marlins.
The southpaw leads the Blue Jays in holds, and Little is second in the American League in that category behind the Guardians' Hunter Gaddis (27). Little had a couple poor appearances in late July and early August, but he's otherwise been impressive in a breakout campaign, posting a 2.93 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 79:37 K:BB over 55.1 innings.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Secures 16th hold
Little gave up a hit and a walk in a scoreless eighth inning Sunday to record his 16th hold of the season in a win over the Angels. He struck out one.
The 28-year-old southpaw was a first-round pick of the Cubs back in 2017, and that talent has finally shown through this season in a high-leverage relief role. Little's 16 holds leads the Blue Jays by a wide margin -- Yariel Rodriguez is second with 10 -- and has him sixth in the American League, six back of Houston's Bryan Abreu. Little backs up that setup success with a 2.18 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 58:27 K:BB through 41.1 innings.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Racks up 11th hold
Little gave up a run on two hits and a walk in the eighth inning Friday to record his 11th hold of the season in a win over the Twins. He struck out one.
The 28-year-old left-hander entered the game to protect a 6-3 lead, and after he put the first two runners aboard, a Royce Lewis single brought home the first earned run off Little since April 25. Little sported a 1.00 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB in 16 innings over that stretch with a 0.00 ERA, and as the top southpaw in the Toronto bullpen, he's become one of the key setup men in front of closer Jeff Hoffman.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Nabs win Friday
Little (1-0) picked up the win Friday against the Guardians, giving up one hit over 1.2 scoreless innings of relief. He struck out one.
Entering the game in the seventh inning with the score tied 3-3, Little was still the pitcher of record when the Blue Jays put together a game-winning rally in the bottom of the eighth. The 28-year-old southpaw has been effective for Toronto to begin the season, posting a 2.45 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB through 14.2 innings while collecting six holds in 17 appearances.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Picks up hold Sunday
Little worked a perfect seventh inning Sunday to record his first hold of the season in a win over the Orioles.
The 28-year-old left Friday's appearance with cramping in his left lat, but Little looked just fine a couple days later. He's been deployed as the top left-hander in the Blue Jays bullpen in the early going, a role which could lead to a significant holds total after he picked up eight over 49 appearances in 2024.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Battling lat cramps
Little was removed from Friday's game against the Orioles due to a left lat cramp, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Little collected two strikeouts in the eighth inning before his lat forced him to make an early exit. He's slated to undergo further evaluation, though an extended absence likely won't be necessary.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Notches first save
Little allowed a hit in 1.1 scoreless innings against Boston on Monday. He struck out one and earned a save.
Little needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to record four outs and earn his first career MLB save. The Blue Jays went up 7-3 in the ninth inning and Chad Green pitched Friday and Saturday, so the team opted to leave Little out there for the four-out save. Little owns a 3.78 ERA with a 27:14 K:BB through 33 innings this season. He had given up four earned runs over his last nine innings entering Monday's contest.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Collects first big-league win
Little (1-1) picked up the win Friday over the Yankees, giving up a hit and striking out two in 1.2 scoreless innings of relief.
Entering the game in the sixth inning, Little wound up getting credited with his first career major-league win after Kevin Gausman failed to last the minimum five frames to qualify. The 27-year-old southpaw has been a reliable option in the Toronto bullpen over the last month-plus, posting a 2.45 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 9:5 K:BB in 11 innings since the beginning of July with five holds in 13 appearances.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Tagged with loss Tuesday
Little (0-1) took the loss and was charged with a blown save Tuesday against the Red Sox, giving up two runs on two hits in an inning of relief. He struck out one.
With Jordan Romano (elbow) and Yimi Garcia (elbow) both sidelined, the Blue Jays' bullpen depth is being tested, and Little flopped in a high-leverage audition Tuesday when he served up a game-winning homer to Tyler O'Neill in the eighth inning. Toronto's struggled to find a reliable left-handed reliever this season -- Tim Mayza has a 6.04 ERA, while Genesis Cabrera has a 4.55 ERA and 1.52 WHIP -- but Little doesn't seem to be the answer. The 27-year-old carries a 6.17 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 10:2 K:BB through 11.2 innings this season with just one hold in 10 appearances.

Blue Jays' Brendon Little: Lands in Toronto
The Blue Jays acquired Little from the Cubs on Monday in exchange for cash considerations and purchased his contract from Triple-A Buffalo, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Little was knocked around in his lone appearance for the Cubs in 2023 and posted a 4.05 ERA and 73:38 K:BB over 73.1 frames at Triple-A Iowa. The 27-year-old left-hander is now on Toronto's 40-man roster.
