Blue Jays claim Tyson Brummett from Phillies
The Blue Jays fill their 40-man roster by claiming Tyson Brummett from the Phillies.
The Blue Jays have claimed pitcher Tyson Brummett from the Phillies, Shi Davidi of SportsNet reported Thursday.
Brummett, 28, appeared in 34 games (seven starts) for Triple-A Lehigh Valley and recorded a 3.62 ERA and a 2.4 K/BB. He made his major-league debut with Philadelphia on the regular season's final day as the Phillies faced a pitcher shortage because of injuries. Brummett struck out two and allowed two hits.
With the claim, the Blue Jays have a full 40-man roster with six players also on the 60-day DL. By rule, the team must make spots available for those players on the disabled list by Nov. 20 or remove them from the 40-man roster.
