Overview
- The Blue Jays selected Luis Urías to the major-league roster and listed him active for Monday’s game against the Houston Astros, though he did not start and is expected to be used as bench infield depth.
- Toronto acquired Urías from the Arizona Diamondbacks for cash considerations on June 20 and briefly assigned him to Triple-A before promoting him to the MLB club.
- Outfielder Yohendrick Piñango was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo to clear an active roster spot for Urías.
- Urías, an eight-season MLB veteran who last played in the majors in 2025 with Oakland, earned the call after a strong stretch at Triple-A Reno but may be a short-term addition given roster mechanics.
- The Blue Jays currently hold a 40-man vacancy but will need to open a 40-man spot when right-hander Shane Bieber is activated from the 60-day injured list, making further roster moves likely in the next day or two.
