JUPITER – George Springer hit a leadoff home run as the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Miami Marlins 5-4 on Monday in a six-inning Grapefruit League game at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium.
Springer also scored on a wild pitch in the third inning before Daulton Varsho hit a two-run double. Myles Straw added an RBI groundout that capped a four-run inning.
Otto Lopez and Daniel Johnson homered for Miami, with Johnson’s solo shot in the fifth pulling the Marlins within a run.
Blue Jays reliever Jesse Hahn earned the save after right-fielder RJ Schreck threw out Chris Arroyo at the plate in the bottom of the sixth.
Also Monday, the Blue Jays optioned outfielder Jonatan Clase to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons roster.
The team also assigned left-handers Javen Coleman and Michael Plassmeyer, catcher Geovanny Planchart and infielders Sean Keys, Charles McAdoo and Arjun Nimmala to minor-league camp.
Toronto (9-12) next hosts the Baltimore Orioles (8-11) on Wednesday in Dunedin, Fla.
The Jays open the regular season at Rogers Centre on March 27 against the visiting Athletics.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 16, 2026.
