Toronto Blue Jays recall left-handed relief pitcher ahead of second game versus Kansas City Royals

According to Sportsnet's Arden Zwelling, Fluharty has joined the team in Kansas City and is on the Taxi Squad awaiting his next assignment.

Through 27 appearances from June 1st to his demotion in August, Fluharty authored a 6.29 ERA and a 5.61 FIP. He allowed 24 hits, 17 earned runs, five homers, and 16 walks through 24 1/3 innings of work down the stretch, and this is one of the reasons he was demoted in August.

There were some memorable moments mixed in, such as earning his first career save against Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers, but there were a few outings where he really struggled to find a groove on the mound.

Another interesting tidbit is Fluharty's recent work in the minors following the demotion. He had three appearances (2 1/3 innings) where he didn't allow a single run despite three hits, but got tormented for three runs when he lost his command against Syracuse.

There are a few arguments are going for him that he is still an upgrade over Ryan Borucki at this point (and potentially a few others as well).

Hopefully this time around he sticks with the Blue Jays.
