The Toronto Blue Jays have released relief pitcher Al Alburquerque, their Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons, annnounced Monday.

The Blue Jays signed Alburquerque in January, but he failed to make the team out of the spring training and spent the season to date in Buffalo.

With the Bisons, Alburquerque posted a 1-1 record with a 3.77 ERA in 25 games. He was four for seven in save opportunities and finished with a 1.47 WHIP in 28 2/3 innings.

The 32-year-old posted an ERA of 2.50 in 21 innings last season for the Kansas City Royals and Chicago White Sox. He was non-tendered by the White Sox in December, making him a free agent.

Bosting a career average fastball velocity of 94 miles per hour according to FanGraphs, Alburquerque has struggled with control throughout his MLB career, averaging five walks per nine innings.

He began his career with the Detroit Tigers in 2011, pitching out of their bullpen for five seasons before making his way to the Los Angeles Angels.
