The Blue Jays recalled Pinango from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
With Jesus Sanchez (ankle) moving to the injured list, Pinango will return to Toronto to replenish the big club's outfield depth. The 24-year-old has performed well during his rookie season, slashing .283/.331/.433 with four homers, 18 RBI and 10 runs scored through 136 plate appearances. He'll likely receive regular opportunities while Sanchez and Addison Barger (elbow) are both on the IL.
