EDGE Analysis

The Jays turned to Hoffman to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning with two outs and two runners aboard. He issued a walk to Chase Meidroth, loading the bases, before committing an error on an Andrew Benintendi grounder that allowed the tying run to score. Hoffman subsequently allowed a two-run double to Miguel Vargas, putting Toronto behind for good. It's the fourth blown save for Hoffman this year, though it appears that he's safe in the closing role for now, according to manager John Schneider. Overall, Hoffman's converted 17 saves while posting a 5.29 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 44:10 K:BB across 32.1 innings this season.

Hoffman (6-2) picked up the win Tuesday against Arizona, allowing one walk with no strikeouts over a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman blanked Arizona in the top of the ninth inning while the Blue Jays trailed 4-3, but back-to-back solo homers by Bo Bichette and Addison Barger allowed Hoffman to pick up his sixth victory of the campaign. Hoffman has allowed at least one run in nine of his 32 appearances this season but has converted on 17 of his 20 save opportunities. He holds a 5.62 ERA in 31 innings with an impressive 43:9 K:BB.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman entered with two runners aboard and two outs in the frame, and he promptly served up a three-run home run to Willson Contreras. The right-hander quickly recovered, however, getting Alec Burleson to ground out on his second and final pitch of the outing for his 17th save this year. Hoffman has struggled mightily in the past month or so -- he has an 11.20 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over his last 13.2 innings -- but the Blue Jays have displayed consistent trust in Hoffman as their closer throughout the campaign.

Hoffman struck out one batter in a perfect 10th inning to record a save against the Cardinals on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman's task wasn't easy, as he had to deal with the automatic runner at second base in the bottom of the 10th while protecting a one-run lead. He was able to get the job done, needing just nine pitches (eight strikes) to set the side down in order. Hoffman has successfully converted each of his past six save opportunities, and he's tied for sixth in the majors with 16 saves on the season. A few blowups have his ERA at an undesirable 5.46, but Hoffman appears to be secure in Toronto's closer role and has held the opponent scoreless in six of his past eight outings.

Hoffman struck out one and gave up a solo home run in the ninth inning Saturday to record his 15th save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Kody Clemens made things interesting by turning on a 96.6 mph fastball, but Hoffman otherwise had little trouble handling the bottom of the Minnesota order. The right-hander has converted five straight save chances, but keeping the ball in the yard remains an issue -- Hoffman's served up seven homers in 28.2 innings, saddling him with a 5.65 ERA despite a 1.12 WHIP and 42:8 K:BB.

Hoffman came away with the save in Friday's 6-4 win over the Twins after striking out three batters and walking one in a scoreless ninth inning.

EDGE Analysis

Hoffman was brought in for the ninth to protect the Blue Jays' two-run lead. He walked Byron Buxton after striking out the first two batters, but Hoffman secured the win for Toronto after punching out Trevor Larnach. It was the sixth time this season that Hoffman has recorded at least three strikeouts. The 32-year-old right-hander is 14-for-17 in save opportunities this season along with a 5.53 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 41:8 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

Hoffman (5-2) picked up the win Wednesday over the Phillies, giving up a hit and recording one out.

EDGE Analysis

Facing the team he developed into a shutdown reliever with over the prior two years, Hoffman entered a 1-1 game with two outs in the top of the ninth inning and gave up a single to Alec Bohm before closing out the frame. The right-hander then got rewarded with a win when Alejandro Kirk poked a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth. Hoffman has had trouble avoiding blowups this season, but he's held the opposition scoreless in six of his last eight appearances while collecting two wins and four saves in five chances. On the season, Hoffman sports a 5.74 ERA that isn't reflected by his 1.13 WHIP or 38:7 K:BB in 26.2 innings.

Hoffman gave up two runs on two hits and a walk in the ninth inning Saturday to record his 13th save of the season in an 8-7 win over the A's. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

Keeping the ball in the yard was once again an issue for Hoffman, who served up a two-run blast to Brent Rooker with two outs. The right-hander's woes didn't end there -- his next pitch after the homer resulted in a double for Tyler Soderstrom, and Hoffman only avoided blowing the save when Ernie Clement robbed Shea Langeliers of a line-drive RBI single with a diving catch. Hoffman wraps up a nightmarish May with a 13.50 ERA over 10 innings thanks largely to five home runs allowed, and he blew three of his 10 save chances. As yet, Toronto hasn't indicated his job as closer is in jeopardy, but the 32-year-old will need to turn things around quickly in June to keep it that way.

Hoffman picked up the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers after throwing a clean ninth inning. He struck out one.

EDGE Analysis

It was Hoffman's fourth spotless outing in his last five appearances, as he continues to recover from several implosions in May. His ERA still stands at 13.00 in nine innings this month, but the hard-throwing right-hander does sport a 13:5 K:BB during this stretch and continues to operate as Toronto's clear-cut closer despite his struggles. With Yimi Garcia (shoulder) and Nick Sandlin (lat) both on the injured list, the Blue Jays are depending on Hoffman even more for ninth-inning work.

Hoffman secured the save in Monday's 2-1 win over the Rangers after throwing a scoreless ninth inning with no strikeouts.

EDGE Analysis

It was the 11th save of the season for Hoffman, who's looking to overcome what's been a dreadful month of May to this point. Over his last eight innings, the hard-throwing right-hander owns a 14.63 ERA, 2.13 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB while converting just five of his eight save chances. The Blue Jays have continued to demonstrate trust in Hoffman as their closer, and they'll likely have to lean even more heavily on him for ninth-inning work as long as Yimi Garcia (shoulder) is recovering on the injured list.
