Blue Jays' Bryan Baker: Joins roster pool

The Blue Jays added Baker to their 60-man roster pool Thursday.

Baker, utility man Patrick Kivlehan and outfielder Josh Palacios all joined the 60-man pool, bringing the Blue Jays' total to 62 men. As Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca notes, teams can only exceed the 60-man limit by placing players on the COVID-19 injured list, which suggests at least two Blue Jays included in the roster pool have tested positive for the coronavirus. The 26-year-old Baker spent most of the 2019 campaign with the Jays' Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, making 18 relief appearances and submitting a 3.68 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 31:16 K:BB in 22 innings.
