Blue Jays Recall Drury, Option Chafin

After acquiring Josh Hader from the Milwaukee Brewers, the Blue Jays have announced a minor roster shuffle. The team has announced that they have recalled utilityman Brandon Drury from Triple-A Buffalo and optioned reliever Andrew Chafin to Triple-A Buffalo.

With outfielder Teoscar Hernandez on the move to Milwaukee, the Blue Jays needed another bat off the bench. With Drury able to play multiple infield positions and both corner outfield positions, he was deemed the perfect fit after putting up a .264 average through his first taste of big league action this season.

Chafin, acquired at the trade deadline last season by the Blue Jays, has been a disappointment to the bullpen ever since, posting a 4.13 ERA in 28.1 innings of work while being used mainly as a lefty specialist. With Hader being of the southpaw variety and his ability to get batters of both hands out, the need for Chafin no longer existed for Charlie Montoya. Chafin will look to get back on track in Triple-A Buffalo, and expect to see him back with the club when rosters expand in September.
