DETROIT (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays recalled infielder Mike McCoy from Triple-A Las Vegas prior to Thursday’s game against the Detroit Tigers.
McCoy is hitting .200 in 28 games with Toronto this year, and will provide insurance while Fred Lewis recovers from an ankle injury sustained Wednesday night.
To make room for McCoy, the Blue Jays optioned pitcher Marc Rzepczynski to Las Vegas. Rzepczynski started for the Blue Jays on Wednesday, allowing five runs in 4 2-3 innings of a 5-2 loss to Kansas City, and has a 7.15 ERA in four appearances.
