Goins was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Blue Jays broadcaster Mike Wilner reports.
Goins has struggled to the tune of a .172/.211/.301 line with the big club this year but can play virtually any position on the diamond, and that versatility will help with Josh Donaldson banged up and Jose Bautista and Kevin Pillar on the DL. The 28-year-old Goins replaces Darrell Ceciliani on the active roster.
