Kay was optioned to the Blue Jays' alternate training site Wednesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Kay was roughed up during his last two outings, as he allowed eight runs (seven earned) over 2.2 innings. He'll attempt to sort things out at the team's alternate training site after the Blue Jays' bullpen got several reinforcements Wednesday when Jacob Waguespack and Hector Perez were called up in corresponding moves.
