The Blue Jays have designated righty Chad Jenkins for assignment, as per a team press release. The move creates roster space for Gavin Floyd, whose deal with the club was officially announced.
Jenkins was Toronto’s first round pick (20th overall) in the 2009 draft, though his big league career to date has consisted of 100 2/3 innings pitched, with 40 of his 46 MLB appearances coming out of the bullpen. Jenkins has a 3.31 ERA, 1.96 K/BB rate and 4.6 K/9 over parts of four Major League seasons with the Jays, and he appeared in just two games last year.
As per the MLB Trade Rumors DFA Tracker, Jenkins joins four other players in awaiting their next assignment.
Kinda surprised it was Jenkins that got the cut. He never really got a real shot due to his options.
go blue jays !
