Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Andrew Hoffmann is a relief pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays who has struggled significantly in 2026. With a 5.74 ERA and 1.78 WHIP across 17 appearances, he has lost his closer role to Louis Varland. Despite being a 2024 All-Star, Hoffmann has been identified as a likely trade candidate by Bleacher Report due to poor performance. However, analysts note he may be experiencing bad luck with improved strikeout rates and low hard-hit percentages. The Blue Jays are struggling overall (16-20 record) with injuries plaguing the roster, and the bullpen ranks 18th in ERA at 4.20.
