The Toronto Blue Jays shuffled some arms around ahead of their doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday, with Easton Lucas recalled from Triple-A to start the opener.
In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays optioned lefty reliever Justin Bruihl to Triple-A.
Right-handed pitcher Lazaro Estrada was appointed from Triple-A to be the 27th man for both games of the doubleheader.
