The Toronto Blue Jays have responded to anti-Muslim social media posts made by outfielder Anthony Santander, who wears number 25 for the club. The organization issued a statement addressing the matter after the player's online activity drew public attention.

Santander, photographed at Rogers Centre during a May 29, 2025 game against the Athletics, has been with the team since the 2025 season. The Blue Jays' response underscores the league's ongoing efforts to confront discriminatory behavior among players and staff.

Major League Baseball has not yet announced any disciplinary action. The Blue Jays said they take the matter seriously and are reviewing the situation internally.
