Even though the Toronto Blue Jays don't start the regular season until Friday night against the Athletics, they have to have the Opening Day roster set on Wednesday before the start of the season, which kicks off between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants.

And according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic, the Blue Jays are still unsure of who will be filling out the roster, both at the back-end of the bench and in the front-end of the bullpen.

Leo Jimenez, Davis Schneider, Spencer Miles and Chase Lee are all heading to Toronto with the #BlueJays.

They’re going to take that last bench spot and final bullpen job down to the wire. Must announce before Opening Day (for the Yankees) on Wednesday

C: Alejandro Kirk, Tyler Heineman (2 total)

1B: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (3 total)

2B: Ernie Clement (4 total)

SS: Andres Gimenez (5)

3B: Kazuma Okamoto (6)

DH: George Springer (7)

OF: Daulton Varsho, Addison Barger, Jesus Sanchez, Myles Straw, Nathan Lukes (12)

Other: Schneider or Jimenez

A 27-year-old New Jersey native, Schneider has the ability to play both the outfield and second base, giving him something Jimenez doesn't have. Furthermore, if he could kick to second base in a pinch, it gives Ernie Clement the freedom to roam around the rest of the infield.

A career .217 hitter, Schneider does have power: He hit 11 homers in just 227 at-bats last season, and he has 32 homers in just 252 career games for his career. He also has a good eye, posting a .361 on-base percentage a season ago.

He has two options remaining and can be freely sent to the minors. He's hitting just .132 this spring with two RBIs.

Ranked as the No. 5 prospect in the organization as recently as 2024, Jimenez is now 24 years old. He played 63 games for the Jays in 2024, hitting .229 with four homers and 19 RBIs.

A career .273 hitter in the minors, he was injured most of 2025, playing just 26 games. He has 22 career minor league home runs, so he doesn't offer the power that Schneider does.

And with 25 career minor league stolen bases, he isn't necessarily an upgrade on the bases.

He's out of options, so the Blue Jays could keep him if they don't want to risk losing him in a DFA situation. Between spring training and the World Baseball Classic (Panama), he's 6-for-31 (.194).

SP: Kevin Gausman, Dylan Cease, Eric Lauer, Max Scherzer, Cody Ponce (18 total)

RP: Louis Varland, Jeff Hoffman, Mason Fluharty, Tyler Rogers, Braydon Fisher, Tommy Nance, Brendon Fisher (25 total)

Either Miles or Lee.

The following came from our own Teren Kowatsch earlier this offseason:

"In the major league portion of the Rule 5 Draft, the Blue Jays took right-handed pitcher Spencer Miles from the San Francisco Giants organization.

Miles was originally selected in the fourth round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Missouri.

The former SEC hurler was plagued with injuries in his time with the Giants organization. He missed all of 2023 after undergoing back surgery and was out all of this past season after Tommy John surgery.

Miles was limited to 10 total outings (three starts) across 2022 and '24. In his career, he posted a 4.30 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 14.3 innings pitched."

He has a 3.72 ERA in 9.2 spring innings.

Now 27 years old, Lee made his major league debut with the Detroit Tigers last season. He went 4-1 with a 4.10 ERA, appearing in 32 games. The Blue Jays acquired him on Dec. 12. He has an ERA of 0.00 in 6.1 innings this spring.
