Blue Jays activate Jansen, send down Moreno
Published
The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated catcher Danny Jansen from the 10-day injured list and sent catcher Gabriel Moreno to triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move, the team announced Tuesday.
Jansen, 27, has been sidelined with a fractured finger since June 6. In 19 games this season prior to the injury, Jansen slashed .232/.290/.625 with seven home runs and 13 RBI. He is in his fifth big league season, all with Toronto.
The 22-year-old Moreno was promoted by the Jays on June 11 and hit .276 with zero home runs and four RBI in 58 at-bats spread out over 18 games. At the time of his promotion, Moreno was considered to be the top prospect in Toronto's system.
The Jays (45-42) enter play Tuesday fourth in the American League East division and tied with the Seattle Mariners for the final wild card spot.
