Blue Jays Assign Rudy Martin Jr. to Triple-A Buffalo
The Toronto Blue Jays have announced the outright assignment of Rudy Martin Jr. to Triple-A Buffalo after he cleared waivers. This move removes him from the team's 40-man roster, which now consists of 38 players, allowing the Blue Jays to explore potential trades or waiver claims ahead of the upcoming roster compliance deadline.
Martin, a veteran outfielder with 11 years of professional experience, has spent most of his career in the Kansas City Royals' minor league system, with additional time in the Nationals' organization and independent leagues. He briefly joined the Baltimore Orioles but did not play for them before being claimed by the Blue Jays.
After being designated for assignment and subsequently outrighted, Martin made his Major League debut in September, appearing in two games for Toronto. He has a solid track record at the Triple-A level, boasting a .246 batting average with 14 home runs and 32 stolen bases over 411 plate appearances. His speed and versatility in the outfield make him a valuable asset for teams seeking depth in that position.
