"The 20-year-old spent the entire 2025 season with the High-A Vancouver Canadians, and while he didn't look overwhelmed, he didn't put up the same kind of numbers he put forward in the lower levels. Last season, Nimmala amassed a .224/.313/.381 slash line with 29 doubles, 13 home runs, and 61 RBIs while spending the entire campaign at the shortstop position. The Tampa, Florida product has the kind of power scouts swoon over, and he's mashed 30 homers in 220 games in the minors."
"Acquired at the 2024 trade deadline in the Justin Turner deal to the Seattle Mariners, R.J. Schreck is one of the few outfielders among the 20 non-roster players invited to big league camp. He also got kudos from general manager Ross Atkins during the early spring presser, the same honour that Alan Roden earned last year before he bullrushed his way to an Opening Day roster spot."
"The Jays likely aren't in any rush to get Nimmala to the big leagues, considering he's entering this season at 20 years old, but the infielder will likely see some time in Double-A this season with Buffalo in the crosshairs by the end of the season if all goes well."
Toronto Blue Jays invited 20 non-roster players to spring training. Some invitees aim for Opening Day roster spots while others seek to impress for future promotions. Arjun Nimmala, the 2023 first-round pick, spent 2025 with High-A Vancouver and produced a .224/.313/.381 slash line with 29 doubles, 13 home runs and 61 RBIs while playing shortstop. Nimmala has significant power, totaling 30 homers in 220 minor-league games, and projects to see Double-A time as he works on improving contact. R.J. Schreck, acquired in the 2024 Justin Turner trade, reached the highest minor-league level in 2025 and remains a candidate for promotion.
