58 Tim Mayza RP

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 spend 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.
