BALTIMORE -- The Blue Jays recalled right-hander Danny Barnes and selected the contract of right-hander Murphy Smith from Triple-A Buffalo prior to Monday night's game against the Orioles.
In corresponding moves, right-handers Jake Petricka and Justin Shafer were optioned to the Minor Leagues while former long reliever Luis Santos was designated for assignment.
The moves became necessary after the Blue Jays had to use their bullpen for 12 innings over the previous two days.
"We needed two arms," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said of his bullpen.
