4/19/24 Here's why a Blue Jays pitcher keeps buying his teammates whisky. Yusei Kikuchi has grown into a pretty big fan favourite during his time with the Toronto Blue Jays. After each Blue Jays win that Kikuchi pitches in, he's been drinking the Japanese whisky Yamazaki, while inviting his teammates to join in the post-game tradition. “Those bottles are pretty expensive, but [Daniel Vogelbach] joined in the other day, and whoever wants to join in, feel free,” Kikuchi said in an interview with Keegan Matheson of MLB.com. “The bottle is a little expensive, but I don't mind buying, and hopefully, a few more wins come our way so I can keep buying.”

10/05/23 Yusei Kikuchi stumbles as Twins sweep Blue Jays out of playoffs. Yusei Kikuchi made his first relief appearance of 2023 in a surprise pitching change that proved costly for the Toronto Blue Jays, as they were swept from the American League Wild Card series with a 2-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday.

10/04/23 Berrios explains his side of Blue Jays' season-ending loss. The Toronto Blue Jays ended their 2023 season with a crushing defeat that was all too common this year. Facing elimination after dropping the opening game of the American League Wild Card Series, Toronto suffered a 2-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday that saw them have their postseason end without the chance to even play in front of their home fans. The move was intended to put starter-turned-reliever Yusei Kikuchi into the game and get Berrios away from a heavy left-handed lineup, which had historically been an issue for Berrios this season, with a .220 opponent batting average from righties compared to .262 from lefties.
