The Toronto Blue Jays announced a series of roster moves today.
The Toronto Blue Jays announced left-hander Patrick Corbin and infielder Tyler Fitzgerald have been recalled to the active roster.
Infielder/outfielder Addison Barger has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 6th, due to a left ankle sprain.
That opened a spot for Fitzgerald, while Corbin takes the spot of left-hander Josh Fleming, who has been designated for assignment.
ROSTER MOVES:
🔹 LHP Patrick Corbin recalled from Single-A and will be active tonight
🔹 INF Tyler Fitzgerald recalled from Triple-A and will be active tonight
🔹 INF/OF Addison Barger (left ankle sprain) placed on 10-day IL, retroactive to April 6
🔹 LHP Josh Fleming designated for assignment
🔹 LHP Patrick Corbin recalled from Single-A and will be active tonight
🔹 INF Tyler Fitzgerald recalled from Triple-A and will be active tonight
🔹 INF/OF Addison Barger (left ankle sprain) placed on 10-day IL, retroactive to April 6
🔹 LHP Josh Fleming designated for assignment
Veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin will join the Jays Tuesday night as the Jays continue to take injury hits in their starting rotation.
The 26-year-old Barger has struggled to start the season, slashing .053/.174/.105 with two RBI in eight games.
Fitzgerald, 28, hit .217 in 72 games last season with the Giants.
Prior to yesterday’s game, Fleming was added to the roster with Voth designated for assignment.
Max Scherzer started yesterday but was held back by some right forearm tendinitis. It’s possible he may be fine enough to make his next start, but he was pulled after just two innings last night.
Fleming was called in to soak up three innings, allowing four earned runs as the Jays were eventually trounced by the Dodgers 14-2.
The Blue Jays (4-6) will look to snap a five-game losing streak against right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers (8-2) tonight at 7:00 PM ET.
