58 Tim Mayza RP

Mayza tossed a perfect eighth inning in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Good outings have been a little tough to come by for the southpaw since he came off the IL in early June. Over his last 11.2 innings, Mayza has a 6.94 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB. His spot as the Jays' top bullpen lefty seems secure simply because he's the team's only bullpen lefty right now, but his role and performance don't offer much fantasy value.

Mayza (forearm) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

As anticipated, Mayza is back from the shelf after missing the 10-day minimum due to left forearm tightness. Justin Shafer was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

The Blue Jays are expected to activate Mayza (forearm) from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

Toronto telegraphed Mayza's potential return to the bullpen by optioning reliever Justin Shafer to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday. If reinstated, Mayza should quickly step back into a key setup role after missing the minimum amount of time with left forearm tightness. Prior to landing on the IL, Mayza registered a 3.48 ERA and seven holds in 25 appearances.

The Blue Jays placed Mayza on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to left forearm tightness, John Lott of The Athletic reports.

Though forearm tightness is often an injury that sidelines pitchers well beyond the minimum 10 days, the Blue Jays are apparently optimistic that Mayza's setback is more of a short-term issue, per Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports. Toronto called up Jacob Waguespack from Triple-A Buffalo to assume Mayza's spot on the active roster and in the bullpen.

Mayza allowed a hit and struck out two in a scoreless eighth inning during Sunday's loss to the White Sox.

After a rough start to the season, the southpaw has now reeled off nine straight scoreless appearances, posting an 11:3 K:BB over nine innings during that stretch. Mayza now sports a respectable 3.71 ERA and 1.24 WHIP, and he's already set a new career high with six holds.

Mayza struck out two in a perfect seventh inning during Sunday's loss to Cleveland.

The left-hander had some trouble finding the plate to open the season, walking five batters in his first three innings over four appearances, but Mayza's now posted a 4:0 K:BB over his last two frames. If he can keep stringing together outings like that, the 27-year-old should start seeing more high-leverage opportunities.

Mayza allowed one hit in a scoreless inning of relief during Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.

The 27-year-old is set to be the primary -- and maybe the only -- left-hander in the Jays' bullpen this season, but Mayza is providing some reassurance that he can handle the assignment with a 0.00 ERA and 5:0 K:BB through five spring innings. His fantasy value will remain limited in that role, but he could be worth rostering in deeper formats that use holds.

Mayza was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Mayza will be available out of the bullpen for Wednesday's game versus Kansas City after pitching a pair of innings with Buffalo on Sunday. Across 16 appearances with the Blue Jays this year, he's logged a 4.67 ERA and 1.62 WHIP.

Mayza was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

He spent a couple weeks with the big club during this most recent stint, but will make way with starter Ryan Borucki rejoining Toronto. The lefty reliever has a 4.67 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 17.1 innings this season.

The Blue Jays recalled Mayza from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

Mayza will head back to the big leagues just four days after being optioned to Triple-A with fellow reliever Rhiner Cruz (groin) hitting the 10-day disabled list. Over 12 appearances with the Blue Jays this season, Mayza has posted a 3.75 ERA and has struck out 10 over 12 innings. He'll likely work mostly in lower-leverage spots during his current stint with Toronto.

Mayza was sent down to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

Mayza pitched 1.1 innings of relief against the Mets on Tuesday and will head to Buffalo as the Blue Jays replenish their bullpen with a pair of fresh arms in Luis Santos and Rhiner Cruz. Across 12 appearances with the club this year, Mayza has logged a 3.75 ERA and 1.50 WHIP.

Mayza was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

Mayza has bounced back and forth between Toronto and Buffalo this season. In 10 major-league innings, the lefty has recorded a 2.70 ERA. Jaime Garcia was placed on the disabled list with a tender shoulder in a corresponding move.

The Blue Jays optioned Mayza to Triple-A Buffalo following Sunday's 13-3 win over the Orioles, John Lott of The Athletic Toronto reports.

His demotion clears a spot on the active roster for Preston Guilmet, whom the Blue Jays scooped up off the waiver wire a day earlier. Mayza covered the final two innings of Sunday's rout, giving up no runs and only one hit to lower his season ERA to 2.70.

Mayza was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

Mayza has been up and down several times this season, providing the Blue Jays' bullpen with depth as needed. The lefty owns a 6.17 ERA, 1.71 WHIP and 34:6 K:BB in 23.1 big-league innings.

Mayza was sent back down to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Mayza has appeared in six games for the Blue Jays this season, posting a 4.26 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over 6.1 innings of relief. In a corresponding move, the club placed Marcus Stroman on the DL (shoulder) and recalled Joe Biagini and Sam Gaviglio from the minors.

Mayza was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo and will serve as the Blue Jays' 26th man for the first game of Toronto's doubleheader Thursday in Cleveland, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Since both games of the doubleheader were added to the Blue Jays' and Indians' schedules after back-to-back postponements April 14 and 15, the two teams will be allowed to roster 26 players for both the front and back end of the twin bill. Mayza will be available out of the bullpen for Game 1 before likely being optioned back to Buffalo, thereby making room for Triple-A teammate Joe Biagini, who will start Game 2 as the Blue Jays' designated 26th man.

Mayza was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mike Wilner of BlueJaysTalk reports.

In a correspond move, John Axford was reinstated from the bereavement list. Mayza has appeared in two games for the Blue Jays this year, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out a a pair over 1.2 innings of scoreless relief. The 26-year-old figures to split time between Buffalo and Toronto this season, so expect to see him back in the big leagues in the near future.

Mayza was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

With John Axford being placed on the bereavement list, Mayza was recalled to add depth to Toronto's bullpen. Mayza appeared in 19 games (17 innings) for the Blue Jays last season, over which he posted a 6.88 ERA and 1.65 WHIP.

Mayza was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Mayza was sent down to clear a roster spot for Kendry Morales, who returns from his stay on the disabled list with a hamstring injury. Mayza tossed just one inning in his brief stay in Toronto, striking out one batter and not allowing a run. He could be back in a low-leverage role for the Blue Jays later this season but is unlikely to be much of a fantasy asset.

Mayza was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

With Kendrys Morales (hamstring) landing on the disabled list, the Blue Jays opted to summon Mayza to the majors to provide an additional bullpen arm. The 26-year-old appeared in 19 games for Toronto in 2017, and while he posted an unsightly 6.88 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 17 innings of relief, underlying stats suggest he was a bit unlucky. Still, look for him to work mostly in medium- to low-leverage situations during his time with the big club.
