The Blue Jays announced today that they have selected the contract of outfielder Jonathan Davis. In a corresponding move, righty Mike Hauschild was designated for assignment.
In other promotions, the club has called up outfielder Dwight Smith Jr., infielder Richard Urena, and first baseman Rowdy Tellez. All were already on the 40-man roster, so no further moves were needed.
Davis, a 15th-round pick in the 2013 draft, will get his first promotion after turning in mixed results in the upper minors. Though he had an impress showing at Double-A, Davis has only managed a .249/.308/.389 slash in his 202 plate appearances at the highest level of the minors. He did, however, turn in his third-straight minor-league season with at least ten home runs and twenty steals.
As for the 28-year-old Hauschild, he has seen limited MLB action over the past two seasons. At Triple-A this year, with the Houston and Toronto organizations, he has worked to a cumulative 4.90 ERA with 7.8 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 over 119 1/3 innings.
So the Blue Jays called up the lead singer from Korn
That’d sell some tickets. All day I dream about strikeouts.
I hear he released a solo album this year.
Shockingly, it isn’t good.
What, Dwight Smith, Jr. is the lead singer for Korn? Guy’s multifaceted for sure.
He did his time
Good choices. Would try and get Travis Bergen on the 40-man to work against lefty hitters in September. His season has been under-the-radar and spectacular for a reliever.
