The Toronto Blue Jays called up first baseman Spencer Horwitz and right-handed reliever Chad Green from triple-A Buffalo as rosters expanded on Friday.
Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith reported the moves on Thursday.
The team also announced right-hander Hagen Danner has been placed on the 60-day injured list with a left oblique strain.
Green will join the Blue Jays for the first time after signing a two-year, $8.5-million deal in the off-season. In 12.1 minor-league innings this year, Green has a 1.46 ERA with 15 strikeouts and just one walk.
The 32-year-old spent the first seven seasons of his MLB career with the New York Yankees, pitching to a 3.17 ERA over 383.2 innings. He underwent Tommy John surgery last year, ending his 2022 campaign early.
This is Horwitz's second recall in 2023. He made his MLB debut earlier in the season, picking up two hits and walking twice in three games and eight at-bats.
Since returning to the Bisons, Horwitz has gone on a tear at the plate, slashing .379/.484/.599 with eight home runs and 14 doubles in 50 games.
The 25-year-old is ranked as Toronto's No. 17 prospect by MLB Pipeline.
The duo will be joining the Blue Jays for a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies in Denver.
Watch the game live on Sportsnet or SN NOW with the first pitch slated for 8:40 p.m. ET / 5:40 p.m. PT.
