"The current bullpen's numbers are inflated by Brendon Little, who had several blow-up outings before getting demoted to Triple-A Buffalo on April 5th. There was a point where he had given up more than half of the total runs the bullpen had allowed."
"Hoffman, meanwhile, has also skewed the stats with his fair share of disaster outings. His .538 BABIP suggests he's been a victim of bad luck, but he hasn't helped himself by walking too many batters, either."
"Varland and Rogers have been the real stories thus far. The former has converted all four of his save opportunities, allowing just one earned run all season, and the latter has been scored on just once in 15 1/3 innings."
The Toronto Blue Jays' bullpen has shown significant improvement this season compared to last year, with Varland and Rogers emerging as key contributors. The bullpen's ERA stands at 4.10, similar to last year's 3.82, but the current performance has been bolstered by the removal of underperforming relievers like Brendon Little. Varland has excelled with four saves and only one earned run, while Rogers has allowed just one run in over 15 innings. Yimi García remains sidelined due to elbow surgery, impacting the bullpen's depth.
