Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays designated RHP Justin Germano for assignment.

Friday's starter, Ricky Romero, will be added to the roster before the game to take Germano's spot. The righty allowed two runs in two innings of work for the Jays.

May 2 - 10:48 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays purchased the contract of RHP Justin Germano from Triple-A Las Vegas.

Germano has a 6.64 ERA in four starts with Toronto's Triple-A affiliate, so it's not a deserved promotion. The 30-year-old right-hander will serve as bullpen depth.

Apr 27 - 1:48 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays reassigned RHP Justin Germano to minor league camp.

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays signed RHP Justin Germano to a minor league contract.

He receives an invitation to spring training. Germano posted a 6.20 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 69 2/3 innings for the Cubs this season.

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano has elected free agency.

Germano was outrighted off the Cubs' 40-man roster late last week. The 30-year-old right-hander owns an ugly 5.27 ERA in the big leagues and will look to get a spring training invite somewhere.

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Cubs sent RHP Justin Germano outright to Triple-A Iowa.

Germano, 32, is strictly organizational depth. He was acquired from the Red Sox for cash considerations earlier this season. Right-hander Blake Parker (elbow) has also been removed from the 40-man roster.

Fri, Oct 26, 2012 04:49:00 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano was hammered for seven earned runs in 4 1/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

Germano admitted after the game that he has simply run of out of steam. The 30-year-old right-hander will finish up with a 6.20 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 69 2/3 innings.

Sat, Sep 29, 2012 11:43:00 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano walked five batters while allowing three runs and three hits over five innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Reds.

Germano was unscored upon in the first five innings but was removed after walking the first three batters of the sixth. He then watched Manny Corpas give up a bases-clearing double to Ryan Hanigan. Germano has now lost six straight starts, and his ERA and WHIP sit at 6.17 and 1.44, respectively. He’ll face the Cardinals this weekend.

Tue, Sep 18, 2012 10:59:00 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano struck out eight and didn’t allow an earned run over five innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Astros.

An error by catcher Steve Clevenger in the third inning led to the Astros’ lone tally against the right-hander. The eight punchouts matched a career high for the junkballer. Germano holds an ugly 6.24 ERA and 1.43 WHIP this season, but with the Cubs lacking options, he’ll get another chance next week against the Pirates.

Tue, Sep 11, 2012 11:22:00 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano was hammered again in Thursday’s loss to the Nationals, surrendering seven runs (six earned) on seven hits over his four innings of work.

Germano walked two and struck out two in the game. Kurt Suzuki belted a three-run homer in the second inning, and the Nats added another three-spot in the fourth to finish the damage. He’s been nothing short of terrible over his last four starts, posting an 0-4 record, 11.09 ERA and 1.93 WHIP. With the Cubs short on alternatives, he’ll likely remain in the rotation, but shouldn’t be started in any format. He’ll look to turn things around when he takes on the Astros in Houston on Tuesday.

Thu, Sep 6, 2012 10:29:00 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano was treated rudely by the Brewers Monday, getting blasted for five runs on 10 hits over just five innings of work.

He struck out four and didn’t walk anyone but also served up four extra-base hits, including a two-run homer to Aramis Ramirez. Germano has now been rocked in consecutive starts, putting his rotation spot in danger. The Cubs lack options, though, so he’ll probably get another shot this weekend against the Giants.

Tue, Aug 28, 2012 12:10:00 AM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano was smashed for seven runs on eight hits and a walk over just 4 2/3 innings in Monday’s loss to the Brewers.

Germano took a 3-1 lead into the fifth, but then the wheels promptly fell off, as he and reliever Jeff Beliveau combined to allowed eight runs, with five hits and six runs coming with two outs. The right-hander had been pretty solid for the Cubs, allowing two or fewer runs in three of his first four starts, but he’s finished the sixth inning just once. He’ll get the Rockies at home next.

Mon, Aug 20, 2012 11:46:00 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano pitched 6 1/3 innings and allowed two runs in defeating the Astros on Wednesday.

Germano is 2-2 with a 3.91 ERA in 25 1/3 innings since joining the Cubs. He'll probably have a two-start week coming up next week, facing the Brewers in Milwaukee and the Rockies at home. There's very little upside here, but NL-only leaguers can take advantage of the matchups.

Wed, Aug 15, 2012 05:38:00 PM

Justin Germano - R - Blue Jays

Justin Germano gave up six runs -- four earned -- in 5 2/3 innings Friday in a loss to the Reds.

The Cubs committed three errors while Germano was in the game and then two more in the sixth to score the lone runner he left on base. Between the poor defense and the crazy wind at Wrigley, there's no way the loss today can be held against Germano.

2B	1	Maicer Izturis
	2	Emilio Bonifacio
SS	1	Jose Reyes D.L. Blue Jays general manager Alex Anthopoulos said it "would not surprise me" if Jose Reyes returned in late June. Reyes had the walking boot on his left foot removed Tuesday and is evidently recovering a bit ahead of schedule, as he had been expected to sit out until around the All-Star break. The shortstop is still in the early stages of his recovery, though. A lot can happen over the next six weeks. May 14

3B	1	Brett Lawrie

LF	1	Melky Cabrera
	2	Rajai Davis D.L. Rajai Davis (oblique) has been sent to Florida to start his rehab. Davis hasn't played since May 10 due to a strained oblique. Blue Jays manager John Gibbons doesn't expect it to be a long-term injury, so it's possible he could return later this month. May 17

Pos	Role	Name
S	1	R.A. Dickey
	2	Josh Johnson D.L. Josh Johnson (triceps) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with High-A Dunedin. Johnson has been on the DL since April 29, but he hasn't had any issues during his throwing program. He'll likely need 2-3 games before he's cleared to rejoin the Blue Jays' rotation. Johnson is on track for a return in the early part of June. May 18
	3	Brandon Morrow
	4	Mark Buehrle
	5	J.A. Happ D.L. J.A. Happ (head, knee) is expected to be sidelined 4-6 weeks. Happ will avoid throwing for a week before beginning to toss on flat ground. The Blue Jays are optimistic that the left-hander will be sidelined closer to four weeks. All things considered, that's about as good as Happ and the club could have hoped for. May 9
	6	Dustin McGowan D.L. Dustin McGowan (shoulder) will continue his minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo. McGowan allowed one hit and one walk over two scoreless innings with High-A Dunedin and notched four strikeouts. The Blue Jays can't count on him given his lengthy injury history, but he could be an option to join the bullpen later this month if all goes well. May 17
	7	Drew Hutchison D.L. Drew Hutchison (elbow) is on track to face live hitters in about three weeks. Hutchison is currently making his way back from Tommy John surgery last August. While the 22-year-old right-hander is unlikely to see any game action until late in the season, he feels good about his progress. "You always want to do more but you know you have to follow the process and do what they tell you to do because that’s what’s in your best interest," said Hutchison. "I feel good, which is good, but you also realize that it’s the process and you need to follow the process." May 8
	8	Kyle Drabek D.L. Kyle Drabek (elbow) expects to throw live batting practice in the next week or two. Drabek threw a bullpen session Monday in extended spring training. He's coming back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, so the Blue Jays figure to take things slow, but he could be looking at a return around midseason if all goes well. May 8
	9	Chad Jenkins
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Casey Janssen
	2	Sergio Santos D.L. Blue Jays transferred RHP Sergio Santos from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. The move was made in order to clear room on the 40-man roster for Thad Weber. Santos will be out until after the All-Star break following surgery to remove bone chips and spurs from his right elbow. May 19
	3	Darren Oliver
	4	Steve Delabar
	5	Esmil Rogers
	6	Aaron Loup
	7	Brett Cecil
	8	Brad Lincoln
	9	Ramon Ortiz
	10	Luis Perez D.L. Luis Perez (elbow) is expected to appear in an extended spring training game later this week. Perez has been throwing bullpen sessions, but this will be his first appearance in a game. He's expected to return from Tommy John surgery around midseason. May 6
