The Toronto Blue Jays made a pair of roster moves to their bullpen ahead of Saturday’s tilt with the New York Yankees, the team announced.
RHP Jose Cuas has been recalled from Triple-A Buffalo and will be able to pitch if needed on Saturday. Toronto designated LHP Tim Mayza for assignment in the corresponding move.
Toronto picked up Cuas, 30, off waivers on Sunday from the Chicago Cubs, where he garnered a 7.43 ERA across 13.1 innings in 2024.
Mayza has struggled to replicate his stellar form from last season that earned him high-leverage outings throughout Toronto’s 2023 campaign. His ERA has ballooned in recent weeks however, rising to nearly 25 over a tough four-inning stretch for the 32-year-old.
Mayza was knocked around in the Jays’ humbling loss to the Yankees on Friday, surrendering five earned runs on just as many hits before being pulled from the game.
He will make his way to Buffalo and appear in their bullpen in the coming days.
