Blue Jays announced several moves ahead of Game 2 in their Chicago Cubs series
The Toronto Blue Jays are about to go toe-to-toe with the Chicago Cubs in the second game of their series. Despite losing the first game in an embarrassing fashion, the Blue Jays have two games to redeem themselves. Ahead of the middle game of the series, the team announced Blue Jays news regarding Lazara Estrada, Brendon Little, Dalton Varsho, and Charles McAdoo.
The Blue Jays are going to have to give a better effort for the rest of their Cubs series if they want to gain ground on the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays. Despite being ahead of the Baltimore Orioles and the Boston Red Sox in the standings, it won’t stay that way forever. If the Blue Jays can’t find a groove, they could tumble down the Wild Card race in a hurry.
The moves that the team announced today are one step towards dressing a more consistent and deep roster.
The Blue Jays announced four moves ahead of their June 20th game against the Cubs. The June 20th transactions involved four players.
Varsho is a vital member of the Blue Jays organization. Because of this, his activation is not surprising. The 5-foot-8 outfielder has played in 64 games this season. In those games, he has recorded 54 hits, 13 doubles, two triples, five home runs, 17 RBIs, and five stolen bases.
The day after his recall, the Blue Jays have optioned Little back to the Buffalo Bisons. Calling his stint with the team “brief” is a bit of an understatement.
Little was performing well in AAA when he was recalled. Unfortunately, he was one of many players who had an off-day for the series opener. During his lone inning, he threw one strikeout and three walks to go along with two hits and four earned runs against. Additionally, his MLB ERA ballooned to 27.00.
In addition to Little being sent down, McAdoo was sent down.
McAdoo has played eight games with the Blue Jays since being called up at the end of May. In those eight contests, he recorded four hits, three RBIs, and one home run. He also recorded a .160 batting average.
