Toronto Blue Jays closer Jeff Hoffman is back in the saddle again.

He was part of the trade for Troy Tulowitzki and pitched in parts of five seasons with the Rockies, but didn't have much success.

From there, he went to the Reds, spending two seasons with the team, still without much success. From there, he signed with the Phillies but was let go before the start of the season.

Then the Phillies signed him, and he became, we'll maybe not a star, but a valuable part of their bullpen.

And now he's a Blue Jay, for three seasons and $33 million.

Baseball Reference has him at a 0.1 WAR. FanGraphs 0.2.

He had a rough May: 13.50 ERA and three blown saves. Since the start of June, he's been much better, 1.50 with eight saves and one blown save.

Jeff has struck out about one of three batters (32.9%, about the same as last year), and his walk rate is 6.6% (much the same as last year).

But he's giving up twice as many home runs (1.93/9 innings, last year 0.81).

He's giving up more hard contact (37.8%, from 30.6) and slightly more soft contact (19.9% from 17.2).

While this is his first year up north, he's in his 10th season in the Majors and recently reached a career milestone: pitching in his 500th inning.

Hoffman earned the save in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Angels, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

Hoffman was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and needed just seven pitches to retire the heart of the Angels' order.

The 32-year-old has now converted five saves in the past eight days and has allowed just one earned run over his last 10 appearances.

It seems that after a rough stretch, Hoffman has turned a corner once again. Hopefully he can remain going in a straight line going forward.

He ranks fourth in the majors with 22 saves and owns a 4.46 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 51:10 K:BB across 38.1 innings.
