Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Parsons returned to MLB after spending the prior two seasons with the NC Dinos in the Korea Baseball Organization. He signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays in May, ostensibly to provide organizational depth. Parsons started 17 games for Triple-A Buffalo, recording a 4.52 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. He was rewarded for his efforts with a start against the Rays on the last day of the season. Parsons took one for the team, absorbing nine runs in four innings. He may latch on with another organization, but Parsons has never shown any indication that he can succeed at the major league level. Read Past Outlooks
Clinches roster spot
Manager John Schneider confirmed Wednesday that Parsons will be part of the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.
ANALYSIS
Parsons and Nate Pearson appear to have won the final two spots in Toronto's Opening Day bullpen with the team optioning Zach Pop and Yariel Rodriguez to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday and with Jordan Romano (elbow) and Erik Swanson (forearm) set to go on the injured list Thursday. Though he made just one appearance for the big club in 2023 -- his first in the majors since 2019 -- Parsons was able to secure his place in the bullpen to begin the upcoming season after striking out eight batters while posting a 4.22 ERA over 10.2 innings in Grapefruit League play. He'll likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role.
