The Toronto Blue Jays announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Ryan Borucki to the roster.
The left-hander has been recalled for the second game of the Blue Jays' road series against the Cincinnati Reds.
Fellow lefty Easton Lucas has been optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding active roster move.
To open a 40-man spot, righty Robinson Pina has been recalled and placed on the 60-day injured list due to a sprain of the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow.

🔹 LHP Ryan Borucki selected to the Major League roster and will be active tonight

Borucki returned to the Blue Jays after signing a minor-league deal back on Aug. 26 and was assigned to triple-A, bringing the lefty back to where his career began.
The 31-year-old was released by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Aug. 18 after being designated for assignment three days earlier.
He has played with the Pirates for the last three seasons after starting his career with the Blue Jays.
In one appearance with Buffalo, Borucki allowed one hit and a walk through 1.2 innings.
The Blue Jays look to bounce back from their series-opening loss to the Reds when Jose Berrios takes the mound on Tuesday.
