Tucker Toman has started to get going.
This is the July 17– July 20 edition of the Minor League Report, where we look at how the last three days have gone for each of the Toronto Blue Jays’ affiliates. We’ll look at the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats, High-A Vancouver Canadians, Single-A Dunedin Blue Jays, FCL Jays, and their two DSL teams in this article.
Let’s dig in!

Bisons lose two of three

Ali Sánchez and Yohendrick Piñango each hit a double.
