The Toronto Blue Jays have made a roster move, bringing back left-handed pitcher Kirby Eisert and sending right-handed pitcher Emerson Francis to the minors, as reported by Globalnews.ca.
Eisert, who was originally called up to the major league roster earlier in the season, has shown promise in his limited appearances. The 24-year-old has a 3.38 ERA in 5.1 innings pitched, with 6 strikeouts and 2 walks. The Blue Jays are hoping that Eisert can continue to develop and contribute out of the bullpen.
On the other hand, Francis has struggled in his time with the Blue Jays. The 26-year-old has a 9.00 ERA in 4 innings pitched, with 3 strikeouts and 2 walks. The decision to send Francis to the minors is likely aimed at giving him more time to work on his mechanics and regain his confidence.
This move reflects the Blue Jays’ commitment to developing young talent and making roster decisions based on performance. With the team currently in the thick of a playoff race, every roster spot is crucial, and the Blue Jays are looking to put their best foot forward as they push for a postseason berth.
Fans will be keeping a close eye on Eisert as he returns to the major league roster, hoping that he can continue to impress and contribute to the team’s success. As for Francis, he will have the opportunity to work on his game in the minors and potentially earn another shot with the Blue Jays in the future.
