The Toronto Blue Jays have activated pitcher Robinson Piña from the 60-day injured list and then immediately outrighted him to their Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, New York.

Why it matters

Piña's move to the minors after being activated from the IL suggests the Blue Jays do not see him as part of their immediate major league plans, despite his previous time on the team's active roster.

The details

The Blue Jays activated Piña on Thursday after he had been on the 60-day injured list due to an elbow injury. However, rather than keeping him on the MLB roster, the team has now outrighted Piña to their Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo.

  • Piña was placed on the 60-day injured list earlier this season.
