Blue Jays Send Alan Roden To Triple-A
The Toronto Blue Jays announced on Wednesday that they optioned outfield prospect Alan Roden and right-hander Dillon Tate to Triple-A Buffalo. The club also selected the contract of right-hander Braydon Fisher from the minors, recalled outfielder Jonatan Clase from Buffalo and designated outfielder Steward Berroa for assignment. Roden, who is considered Toronto's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, will head back to the farm for more development after he went 13-for-73 (.178) with one homer, five RBI and seven runs scored in his first 28 major-league games for the Blue Jays. It's gotten bad in his last 11 games, as he's gone hitless in 26 at-bats with 10 strikeouts. Clase, 22, is one to watch in AL-only leagues if he sees elevated playing time in Toronto's outfield. He is starting in left field and batting ninth on Wednesday versus Los Angeles Angels left-hander Yusei Kikuchi.
