Blue Jays recall Brian Serven, place Danny Jansen on paternity list

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+.
