58 Tim Mayza RP

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 Tripla-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.

The Blue Jays optioned Mayza to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Scott Mitchell of TSN.ca reports.

Non-roster invitees Tyler Clippard and John Axford beat Mayza out for the final two spots in the Toronto bullpen. The left-handed Mayza had a rough go of things in his first exposure to the big leagues in 2017 with a 6.88 ERA and 1.65 WHIP across 17 innings, though a 27:4 K:BB, .501 BABIP and 60 percent strand rate all point to him being highly unlucky.

Mayza (1-0) struck out the only batter his faced Tuesday against the Orioles to pick up his first career win.

Toronto scored two runs against closer Zach Britton en route to a walkoff win in the ninth inning Tuesday. Mayza has appeared offered unimpressive results (8.74 ERA) through 12 games this season, but the 25-year-old reliever remains a viable option as a left-handed specialist moving forward.
