Toronto Blue Jays pitchers Dylan Cease and Louis Varland continue to be recognized for their strong campaigns.
The duo was unveiled as members of the 2026 All-MLB teams on Wednesday night at MLB's awards show in Las Vegas.
Cease earned First Team honours after posting a 2.40 ERA with 239 strikeouts and 78 walks over 169 innings in his debut season with Toronto.
The 30-year-old authored multiple no-hit bids during the regular season and finished second in AL Cy Young voting, which was revealed earlier Wednesday.
It is Cease's third All-MLB selection after being named to the Second Team in 2021 while pitching with the Chicago White Sox and in 2024 while with the San Diego Padres.
Varland also took a place on the First Team after being named AL Reliever of the Year earlier in the day.
The 28-year-old collected 35 saves in 71 appearances for the Blue Jays. He also posted a 1.27 ERA and 97 strikeouts in 78 innings of work.
This is Varland's first All-MLB selection.
MLB introduced the teams in 2019, which are chosen through a vote, with 50 per cent coming from fans and the other 50 per cent coming from a panel of experts.
They are the 11th and 12th individual seasons in Blue Jays franchise history to be placed on one of the All-MLB teams.
