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.

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.

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.

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.

Jeremy Jeffress - R - Blue Jays

Jeremy Jeffress is available for Monday's game after taking a comebacker off his throwing arm Sunday.

Jeffress was struck by a liner off the bat of Jose Bautista on Sunday, but stayed in for two more batters. He should be good to go moving forward.

	2	Henry Blanco
1B	1	Adam Lind
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
	2	Munenori Kawasaki
3B	1	Brett Lawrie
	2	Mark DeRosa
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

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	R.A. Dickey
	2	Josh Johnson D.L. Josh Johnson (triceps) will make at least two more rehab starts. Johnson struck out five over three innings of one-run ball on Monday with High-A Dunedin. He's feeling good physically, but the right-hander obviously needs to build up his stamina. He'll rejoin the rotation in early June if he can avoid a setback. May 21
	3	Brandon Morrow
	4	Mark Buehrle
	5	J.A. Happ D.L. Blue Jays transferred LHP J.A. Happ from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Happ was hoping to make it back by mid-June, but he now won't be eligible to return until early July. The left-hander is coming back from a small fracture behind his left ear as well as a sprained right knee. May 24
	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	Chad Jenkins
	8	Sean Nolin
	9	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
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 D.L. Blue Jays placed LHP Darren Oliver on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 19. with a left shoulder strain. Oliver has been dealing with the ailment for 7-10 and hadn't appeared in a game in nearly a week. He shouldn't be out long, but the Jays have decided to play things safe. Toronto still has two lefties in the bullpen in Aaron Loup and Brett Cecil. May 24
	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
