Blue Jays Designate Jesus Sanchez for Assignment, Recall Rudy Martin Jr.
Jesus Sanchez has been designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays following a series of outfield errors that impacted his roster spot. In a corresponding move, the team announced the recall of outfielder Rudy Martin Jr. from triple-A Buffalo ahead of their game against the Baltimore Orioles.
Sanchez, 28, has contributed offensively this season with a batting average of .260, eight home runs, and 35 RBIs over 99 games. However, he leads the MLB with three errors and has a fielding percentage of .955. His performance has declined recently, batting only .212 with one home run in the last month as the team aims for a playoff position.
Rudy Martin Jr. is set to be active for the game against the Orioles, potentially marking his MLB debut after 12 years in the minors. He joined the Blue Jays in July after being claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles and has a .253 batting average with three home runs and 11 RBIs in 95 plate appearances, along with 12 stolen bases in 27 games.
