  • Blue Jays activate reliever Chad Green on Tuesday
    Blue Jays activated RHP Chad Green from the 15-day injured list.

  • Demoted to Triple-A
    The Blue Jays optioned Swanson to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

    Advice: After finishing with a sub-3.00 ERA in each of the past two seasons, Swanson has allowed 14 earned runs in 13.2 frames to begin the 2024 campaign. He's been trending in the right direction as of late, posting a 3.52 ERA across 7.2 innings since May 7, but he will head to Triple-A nonetheless to ensure that his struggles will be completely behind him by the time he pitches on a big-league mound again. Chad Green (shoulder) was reinstated from the injured list to take Swanson's roster spot. Rotowire.com Today, 2:19 pm

    Advice: Swanson has scuffled to a disastrous 9.22 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 10/4 K/BB ratio across 13 2/3 innings (17 appearances) this season after being one of Toronto’s key high-leverage options the previous year.

  • Reinstated and active
    Green (shoulder) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will be available out of the bullpen in Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.

    Advice: Green has been sidelined since mid-April with a right shoulder strain, and he was able to make three scoreless appearances with Triple-A Buffalo during his rehab assignment. The veteran had already returned to the Blue Jays' clubhouse in Chicago for the series opener Monday. In a corresponding move, Erik Swanson was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo.

  • Rehab assignment on tap
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Tuesday that a decision on where Gallegos (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment will be made Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The right-hander threw a live bullpen session over the weekend and had another bullpen session Tuesday, clearing him to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Gallegos landed on the shelf with a pinched nerve in his shoulder in early May, and he should be able to rejoin the Cardinals after a short stay in the minor leagues. Rotowire.com Today, 1:56 pm
