The Toronto Blue Jays have made two roster moves at catcher ahead of their Canada Day game at Rogers Centre.
The team has recalled Brian Serven from triple-A Buffalo to temporarily take the roster spot of No. 1 catcher Danny Jansen, who has been placed on the paternity list.
The Blue Jays claimed Serven off waivers from the Chicago Cubs in January and he made the Opening-Day roster in place of a then-injured Jansen. He had just eight at-bats without a hit for Toronto before he was sent down.
Serven is slashing .270/.396/.371 with three homers and 14 RBIs in 34 games for Buffalo this season.
Watch the Blue Jays-Astros game on Monday at 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT on Sportsnet or Sportsnet+.
