Blue Jays prospect Spencer Horwitz, performing well in Triple-A, has been called up to the major league team. Horwitz had impressive stats in Triple-A, prompting his promotion to the Blue Jays. Cavan Biggio was designated for assignment to make room for Horwitz, a move that surprised some but was seen as overdue by others. Horwitz made an impact in his first games, contributing to the team's offense and breaking a first-inning run drought for the Blue Jays.
With 96 games remaining, #BlueJays need to make changes in the lineup and Spencer Horwitz's arrival and the professionalism of IKF are big parts of what can be done. Blue Jays Batting Order needs help, by @RGriffBaseball https://t.co/R3C1C2fbxp
#BlueJays lose, 3-1. They are 32-34. (I’ll get it right this time). Outside of Kirk’s home run, they produced just three baserunners with Horwitz (double, single) and Varsho (bunt single).

#Bluejays don't score in top1 - Horwitz doubles, but makes a baserunning mistake and is cut down at third on a Vladdy grounder to short. Bichette flies out to deep right to end the inning. Berrios time!

"They're six months too late... It's about time the front office starts doing something." @SNJeffBlair & Kevin Barker on Spencer Horwitz being called up & how it characterizes the #BlueJays pivoting away from a ‘run prevention’ philosophy. #TOTHECORE 📺 https://t.co/SqK7M993Jz https://t.co/T4gtJY8gVT
The @BlueJays win it in extra innings to take two out of three in Oakland! 🙌 https://t.co/2M9w0WAvFV

#Bluejays send eight batters to the plate in top10 and score three runs despite getting only one hit, but it was a huge one. IKF's 3-run 2B has #Jays on top 6-3 as they go to the bottom of the 10th for what they hope is their final half-inning in Oakland.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa clears the bases in the 10th inning! IKF now has 5 RBI on the day! https://t.co/qR3mOxXncC
IKF HITS A BASES-CLEARING DOUBLE IN THE 10TH TO MAKE IT 6-3 JAYS ‼️ https://t.co/XatuxyWcSu
Isiah Kiner-Falefa crushes a hanging slider to the gap in left-centre for a bases-clearing double to give #Bluejays a 6-3 lead top10. IKF has a career-high 5 RBIs today!
#Bluejays go to Trevor Richards to begin bot7 - seems they'll try to get six outs out of the Silver Fox and then hand it over to Yimbo for the 9th. #Jays lead is pretty tenuous at 2-1.
The Snakes put up a 6-run second inning. 😳 https://t.co/uOqS41ujdo
IKF with a two-run single to give the Blue Jays the lead! 🤩 https://t.co/FAkvp84Tdj

First-pitch single to left for Spencer Horwitz to begin the ballgame. The kid's gonna help a lot. #Bluejays
Spencer Horwitz leading off for #Bluejays today? Hmmm, who saw that coming in the Toronto Star a couple of days ago? https://t.co/D6760aKRby https://t.co/phIJMwAqSv
Full disclosure: Cavan Biggio was on this initial list when I filed the story. Apparently the Blue Jays agreed with me. https://t.co/Nv44kl9OHY
With Spencer Horwitz back in the bigs, this is worth reposting. #BlueJays https://t.co/CLALh5sCQE
THE BLUE JAYS HAVE FINALLY SCORED A RUN IN THE 1ST INNING 👏 https://t.co/olZ94HO35r https://t.co/mG3nOBeudB
What a moment. For the first time in 30 games, the #BlueJays have scored a run in the first inning. Spencer Horwitz has lifted the curse.
Bulletin: The #Bluejays have scored a run in the first inning for the first time in **30** games, tallying today in Oakland. Danny Jansen sac fly to left scored Spencer Horwitz, who had walked. #Bisons.
A Danny Jansen sacrifice fly brings home Spencer Horwitz, ending the Blue Jays’ first inning run drought at 29 games.
#Bluejays SCORE IN THE FIRST INNING!!!! For the first time in 30 games, #Jays get a first-inning run. It comes, of course, without a hit. Three walks and a sac fly, but a run is a run. https://t.co/Yt2iDKbTHX
#Bluejays are underway in Oakland with a great chance to break their run of first-inning futility. Bases loaded, 1 out for Danny Jansen.
The #Bisons now have a big hole in their lineup with the much-deserved promotion of Spencer Horwitz to the #Bluejays. The story here: https://t.co/1CBfvrgdXu
This column will be in Saturday’s @StarSports , but you can read it now! My thoughts on #Bluejays move to finally bring up Spencer Horwitz and also say goodbye to Cavan Biggio: https://t.co/D6760aKRby
Spencer Horwitz is all smiles after being recalled to the @BlueJays 😁 Watch Jays 🆚 Athletics LIVE on Sportsnet or stream on Sportsnet+. https://t.co/XQDipjUzGG
Even understanding the realities of the #BlueJays roster and why the move was made, the decision to DFA Cavan Biggio isn’t just another roster move. Biggio has deep roots with so many players and coaches, John Schneider included. He earned a lot of respect in this organization.
Davis Schneider 2.0? The Blue Jays can't hold down Spencer Horwitz any longer https://t.co/CtMFglNrP0

In a surprising roster move, #BlueJays have designated for assignment (DFA) INF Cavan Biggio to make room for 1B Spencer Horwitz. That means they could not make a trade for Biggio. Surprise move because of his versatility , team history and handedness.
The Blue Jays have DFA'd Cavan Biggio. Spencer Horwitz has been recalled from Triple-A. https://t.co/4rnq3jeRf3
Blue Jays Designate Cavan Biggio For Assignment https://t.co/eN605Gji05 https://t.co/GpC14i5PmQ
Blue Jays designate Cavan Biggio for assignment to make room for recall of Spencer Horwitz. Biggio had options remaining but as a player with five years of service time, he would have to consent to an option. Presumably, he did not.
The #BlueJays have designated Cavan Biggio for assignment. I wasn’t expecting that. No. 16 prospect Spencer Horwitz has been added to the roster.

Spencer Horwitz has been recalled from Buffalo and will be active for tonight’s game Cavan Biggio has been DFA’d per #BlueJays
#Bluejays announce the move: Cavan Biggio is DFA’d to make room for Spencer Horwitz. I’m shocked. I know you’re probably not shocked, but I’m shocked.
Cavan Biggio has been a disappointment for a long time. Like this move a lot. Time for some fresh blood. Let's go Jays. https://t.co/AdlFg6qSyJ
#Bluejays confirm Spencer Horwitz recalled from #Bisons and Cavan Biggio designated for assignment. A big move there, albeit quite an overdue one.
Well, the Blue Jays DFA Cavan Biggio with Spencer Horwitz officially recalled. Didn't see that one coming.

Things you learn when writing a column about Spencer Horwitz being called up to #Bluejays: When leading off a game this season, #Jays hitters - be they Springer (38 starts), Schneider (21), Bichette (2) or Varsho (1) - are batting a collective .150/.177/.217. In a word - yuck.
Lots of comments here about #Bluejays impending call-up of Spencer Horwitz. You should sign up over on BlueSky - same handle - and I'll be happy to answer all the replies!
Can confirm the earlier report from @ShiDavidi - Spencer Horwitz is indeed in Oakland with #Bluejays. Expect an official announcement sometime in the next three hours or so.
Spencer Horwitz gets the call! Horwitz has been stellar in AAA this season with a focus on contact and lifting the ball. He has registered a 157 wRC+ in 259 PA. He has displayed great plate discipline and solid power. He looks to add some well needed offense to Toronto https://t.co/cdAAgQ2bRk https://t.co/fDsO7Dkr6v
This is something that was talked about quite a bit over the last week or so. Not surprising but very welcome news. Horwitz was hitting .335/.456/.514 for #Bisons with 22 doubles. Question is, who goes? Vogey, Clement or Biggio? I'm thinking it's a Vogelbach DFA. #Bluejays https://t.co/T0yIfVEQBP
Spencer Horwitz is in Buffalo’s lineup tonight. There was some earlier buzz he might join the Jays on the flight to Oakland.
