The Toronto Blue Jays announced a couple of roster moves today. Outfielder Jonatan Clase has been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo, while infielder Leo Jimenez was activated to the Blue Jays.
Clase had been seeing fairly steady playing time in the Toronto outfield since being promoted from Triple-A on May 7, but he slashed a dismal .219/.299/.313 with two home runs and three stolen bases in 34 games.
ROSTER MOVES:
🔹 INF Leo Jiménez recalled from Triple-A and will be active today
🔹 OF Jonatan Clase optioned to Triple-A
🔹 INF Leo Jiménez recalled from Triple-A and will be active today
🔹 OF Jonatan Clase optioned to Triple-A
In a corresponding move, Toronto recalled Leo Jimenez to provide depth in the middle infield while shortstop Bo Bichette is day-to-day with a knee injury, but Myles Straw, Davis Schneider and Will Wagner may be more likely candidates to benefit from added opportunities in the outfield or at designated hitter now that Clase is out of the mix.

Jimenez gives Blue Jays more infield depth after Bo Bichette was scratched yesterday with knee discomfort.
Leo Jiménez had yet to suit up for the Toronto Blue Jays this season.
The 24-year-old batted .229 with four home runs and 19 runs batted in in 63 games for the Jays in 2024.
He batted .271 with one RBI in 15 games for Buffalo this season
Was this a smart roster move on the part of the Blue Jays in lieu of Bo Bichettes injury?
