Overview
- The Blue Jays announced the roster changes on Tuesday, Sept. 1, recalling left‑hander Ricky Tiedemann and infielder Sean Keys and reinstating lefty Joe Mantiply and infielder Josh Smith to the active roster.
- To open spots for those additions the club optioned right‑hander C.J. Van Eyk to Triple‑A and designated outfielder Daz Cameron for assignment.
- Right‑hander Simeon Woods Richardson cleared waivers and elected free agency after previously being designated for assignment earlier this summer.
- With Mantiply reinstated and Tiedemann back, Toronto’s bullpen now includes four left‑handed relievers, changing late‑inning matchup options for the team.
- The club used MLB’s active roster expansion from 26 to 28 to add short‑term depth without making all additions long‑term 40‑man commitments, a move that forces decisions about players who are out of minor‑league options or on the 40‑man roster.
