Blue Jays purchased the contract of RHP John Axford from Triple-A Buffalo.
Axford earned a spot in the Toronto 'pen by delivering a 1.13 ERA and 11/2 K/BB ratio over eight innings this spring in the Grapefruit League. He will work in middle relief.
Mar 29 - 11:11 AM
John Axford worked a scoreless inning Tuesday against the Phillies.
Axford seems to be in good position to claim a spot in the Jays pen; he's allowed one run in 6 2/3 innings and struck out eight this spring.
Mar 20 - 4:02 PM
Blue Jays signed RHP John Axford to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic was first to report the deal and Shi Davidi of Sportsnet says it's a minor league contract. Axford flamed out with the A's last season, posting a 6.43 ERA across 22 appearances before being released in August. The Canadian will turn 35 shortly after Opening Day and will get a chance to play in his native country for the first time.

Athletics released RHP John Axford.
Axford was designated for assignment last Thursday and didn't attract any interest on waivers. Despite posting a sluggish 6.43 ERA over 22 outings this year, the 34-year-old offers a wealth of late-inning experience and should resurface before long, though he may have to settle for a minor league deal.

Troy Tulowitzki
60-Day DL
Troy Tulowitzki underwent surgery Tuesday to address bone spurs in both of his heels.
No timetable has been revealed, but Tulowitzki was placed on the 60-day disabled list on Opening Day and figures to be sidelined through the first half of the season. Aledmys Diaz and Gift Ngoepe have both drawn starts at shortstop for Toronto in the early going. Yangervis Solarte could see some action there too.

Josh Donaldson
10-Day DL
Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said Wednesday that he expects Josh Donaldson (shoulder) to be on the disabled list longer than 10 days.
Donaldson landed on the DL on April 13 -- retroactive to April 11 -- and currently remains shut down from throwing due to inflammation in his right shoulder. Recent tests showed no signs of any structural damage, so he should be back eventually, but the veteran third baseman is still without an official timetable. Yangervis Solarte is currently playing the hot corner for Toronto.

Dalton Pompey
10-Day DL
Blue Jays placed OF Dalton Pompey on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to March 26 with a right wrist sprain.
Pompey has been plagued by health issues over the last few seasons, and unfortunately will start out on the shelf this season. The 25-year-old outfielder could head to Triple-A Buffalo to get more at-bats once off the disabled list.

Anthony Alford
10-Day DL
Orioles placed OF Anthony Alford on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to March 26 with a right hamstring strain.
Alford picked up the hamstring issue early in the Grapefruit League. The good news is he has been cleared to resume light running. Once cleared to return to baseball activities, he'll likely head to Triple-A Buffalo to get much needed at-bats. He could help the Blue Jays before the end of the summer.

Kendrys Morales
10-Day DL
Kendrys Morales (hamstring) is expected to return from the disabled list when first eligible this Friday.
Morales was placed on the DL on April 10 after suffering a Grade 1 right hamstring strain while running the bases in an April 9 game against the Orioles. The veteran slugger had a homer and six RBI through eight games when he landed on the shelf, but he was also sporting a weak .227/.280/.364 overall batting line. Morales turns 35 years old in June.
