Per
ESPN’s Jeff Passan, the Blue Jays are set to promote infield prospect Charles McAdoo to the big league roster. A corresponding roster move has yet to be announced, but the Jays will need to make space on both the 40-man and active roster for McAdoo before their series in Baltimore tomorrow.
McAdoo was acquired by the Blue Jays at the 2024 trade deadline, with Toronto sending Isiah Kiner-Falefa to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange. The Jays front office re-acquired Kiner-Falefa last summer, completing the trade full circle.
Last season, McAdoo spent the entire campaign in Double-A New Hampshire, where he posted a .247/.318/.413 slash line with a .732 OPS. He also chipped in with 24 doubles, 16 home runs, and 45 RBIs with the Fisher Cats, showcasing his plus power.
This spring, McAdoo got extended playing time on the big league side of camp with numerous Jays roster players playing in the World Baseball Classic. Across 19 games and 31 at-bats, he collected six hits, including two doubles and one home run, for a .620 OPS.
For the 2026 season, the 24-year-old was promoted to Triple-A Buffalo and has been a constant staple in the Bisons’ lineup. Across 49 games and 172 at-bats, he owns a .250/.356/.436 slash line with a .792 OPS. He sits fourth in the Jays’ farm system with his eight home runs and ranks fifth with his 27 RBIs as well. On the diamond, McAdoo has split his time across the infield, mostly splitting his time between the corner infield spots with a couple of quick stints at second base.
The Jays have yet to announce the outgoing roster move, but the addition of McAdoo brings another right-handed bat to a roster that is predominantly left-handed.
