Yahoo! Sports' Jeff Passan reports that the Blue Jays are considering moving Jeremy Jeffress back to a starter role.

Jeffress hasn't started since 2011 in the minors, and he hasn't started on a full-time basis since 2009. He had big-time control problems as a starter and has still been prone to wildness as a reliever, so the transition might be a difficult one. Jeffress is coming off a nice season, having posted a 1.39 ERA at Triple-A and a 0.87 mark in his brief time in the majors while striking out a batter per inning. Nov 8 - 1:08 PM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays purchased the contract of RHP Jeremy Jeffress from Triple-A Buffalo.

Jeffress was designated for assignment shortly after the beginning of the season, but he's earned his way back by posting a 1.65 ERA while striking out a batter per inning at Triple-A. He'll work the middle innings.

Sep 3 - 8:09 PM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays sent RHP Jeremy Jeffress outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

Jeffress was designated for assignment on April 6 so that the Blue Jays could clear a roster spot for Dave Bush. He then passed through waivers with relative ease.

Apr 16 - 4:20 PM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays designated RHP Jeremy Jeffress for assignment.

Jeffress is out of options, so he'll have to clear waivers in order to remain with the organization. The Blue Jays have called up Dave Bush from Triple-A Buffalo to replace him in the bullpen.

Apr 6 - 11:08 AM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Jeremy Jeffress has won a spot in the Blue Jays' bullpen.

Jeffress has a 9.00 ERA and 12/9 K/BB ratio over 11 innings of work this spring, but he's out of options and the Jays don't want to expose him to waivers. As a result, Toronto will open the season with an eight-man bullpen and a three-man bench. And that's obviously not ideal.

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Jeremy Jeffress was lit up for five runs in an inning by the Twins on Sunday.

For a little while earlier this month, it looked like Jeffress, who is out of options, might make the Blue Jays on merit. Now his spring ERA is up to 9.00, and he's walked nine batters in 11 innings. He probably won't clear waivers, but given that the Blue Jays have loaded up with the goal of winning the AL East, they shouldn't make the mistake of carrying him over better pitchers.

Mar 24 - 5:29 PM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Out-of-options right-hander Jeremy Jeffress pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out two batters in relief Wednesday against the Pirates.

Jeffress gave up three runs in his second appearance of the spring, but he's allowed just an earned run and posted a 8/0 K/BBratio in six innings since. He's having a strong enough spring to make it highly unlikely he'll clear waivers. The Blue Jays might end up sending down someone like Brad Lincoln in order to keep Jeffress around.

Mar 13 - 5:11 PM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Out-of-options right-hander Jeremy Jeffress surrendered three runs and four hits in his inning versus the Astros on Wednesday.

Ideally, Jeffress would break through this spring and give the Jays good reason to carry him as a middle reliever. Since that's unlikely, the next best scenario for Toronto has him pitching so badly that no team decides it's worth grabbing him on waivers next month. That's more likely.

Feb 27 - 4:54 PM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Blue Jays acquired RHP Jeremy Jeffress from the Royals for future cash considerations.

Jeffress was designated for assignment by the Royals last week after failing to make a good impression this summer at Triple-A Omaha. The hard-throwing 25-year-old has already been suspended twice for marijuana and could be banned from baseball if he gets caught again.

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Royals designated RHP Jeremy Jeffress for assignment.

Jeffress hasn't pitched very well at Triple-A or in the majors the last two years. He's only 25 and can throw in the upper 90s, though, so there's a pretty good chance he'll draw interest on waivers.

Fri, Nov 2, 2012 02:53:00 PM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Royals recalled RHP Jeremy Jeffress from Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

Jeffress was just optioned to the minors last week, but he's eligible to return now that Northwest Arkansas' season is over. The 24-year-old right-hander has surrendered eight hits and six walks across 6 2/3 innings this season in the major leagues but has yet to allow an earned run. He'll pitch in middle relief.

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

The Royals will recall Jeremy Jeffress on Tuesday.

Jeffress has surrendered eight hits and six walks across 6 2/3 innings this season in the major leagues but hasn't allowed an earned run. He'll serve as a middle reliever.

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Royals optioned RHP Jeremy Jeffress to Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

Jeffress has allowed eight hits and six walks in 6 2/3 innings this season in the major leagues. The hard-throwing right-hander could be called back up to Kansas City in early September after rosters expand.

Mon, Aug 27, 2012 11:08:00 AM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Royals recalled RHP Jeremy Jeffress from Triple-A Omaha.

He'll take the roster spot of Jonathan Broxton, who was traded to the Reds on Wednesday. Jeffress had a brief stint with the Royals in April, but has spent most of the season at the Triple-A level, posting a 4.97 ERA and 61/25 K/BB ratio over 58 innings. He'll pitch in middle relief.

Wed, Aug 1, 2012 01:56:00 PM

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Royals optioned RHP Jeremy Jeffress to Triple-A Omaha.

He was sent down to make room for left-hander Tommy Hottovy on the active roster. Jeffress was just called up from the minors on Saturday and didn't allow a run in two appearances.

A CT scan taken Friday on his left eye showed no structural damage, but the Blue Jays are going to play it safe with the 27-year-old center fielder. Rasmus was struck in the eye by an errant warmup throw on Friday night. He wound up hitting .276/.338/.501 with 22 home runs and 66 RBI in 118 games this season for Toronto and will be arbitration-eligible for the third and final time heading into 2014. Sep 21

"It’s a name we’re hearing through back channels right now, but wouldn’t be surprised if he’s available" the GM said. Howard Eskin of FOX 29 TV and 94 WIP reported last week that the Phillies were nearing a deal for Bautista, but while that report was debunked, it does appear the slugger could be available. The Blue Jays would want pitching in return. Nov 17
