Create Account A true professional who stepped in the closer role last season when no one else was even remotely capable of handling it, the veteran was designated for assignment Tuesday, mere moments after the Jays acquired a rental reliever in Seranthony Dominguez from the Baltimore Orioles. The moves came after the Orioles pasted Toronto in the first game of a split doubleheader. Dominguez, a right-hander, was available to the Blue Jays for the doubleheader's second game. Green spent his first seven seasons in the big leagues with the New York Yankees. In three years with the Blue Jays, the right-hander appeared in 109 games, including 53 in 2024, when Green recorded 17 saves. This season has been a nightmare for Green, who has the dubious distinction of leading all MLB relievers in home runs surrendered. He gave up two in Toronto's 16-4 loss in Game 1 of the doubleheader to give Green 14 dingers surrendered this season. It's a tough blow for Green, but one that shouldn't be considered surprising, given his struggles. As Thursday's 6 p.m. trade deadline approaches, the Jays are said to be involved in talks for a handful of pitchers. One of the most rumored is St. Louis Cardinals reliever Ryan Helsley.

NHRA driver Dan Wilkerson, amazingly, popped from his Funny Car with a smile on his face following a massive engine explosion during the evening qualifying session for the Denso Nationals at Northern California's Sonoma Raceway on Friday alongside Chad Green (the driver for whom he used to be crew chief), Wilkerson managed to stay out of Green's path, hitting the wall in his own he and his own father/crew chief Tim Wilkerson took the spectacular blow-up in stride. 'I didn't know where Chad was. I didn't know where I was. It was right in my face,' Dan Wilkerson said. "I've never been so happy to hit the wall in my entire frickin' life. The worst part is scaring everybody. I hate to scare my friends, the fans, my guys. And now we've got a bunch of work to do – that's the second part that sucks.'Tim Wilkerson said, 'It had some type of mechanical failure. We'll figure it out. Daniel's OK – that's what matters. We can put the parts back in it. We know the risks. We talk about it all the time. This is a dangerous car – there's no doubt about it. That's part of this racing, unfortunately. You're going to get that every once in awhile.'
