JAYS DESIGNATE STOREN FOR ASSIGNMENT
The Toronto Blue Jays designated right-handed reliever Drew Storen for assignment on Sunday.
Storen, who has a 6.21 earned run average through 33 1/3 innings pitched this season, allowed three runs in the eighth inning of Saturday’s 14-5 blowout loss to Seattle.
The move takes Storen off Toronto’s 40-man roster. He must clear waivers before being sent to the minor leagues.
Storen was acquired in an off-season deal with Washington for speedy outfielder Ben Revere.
The Blue Jays recalled reliever Ryan Tepera in a corresponding move.
