According to a tweet by the team, the Blue Jays have designated Gio Urshela for assignment ahead of Tuesday night’s game against the Houston Astros. Hazel Mae of Sportsnet and Kaitlyn McGrath of the Athletic also confirmed this report soon after.
This move comes as a corresponding move to the promotion of left-handed pitcher Ryan Borucki. Borucki’s promotion was reported by several outlets as he was expected to make his major league debut on Tuesday.
Urshela, 26, hails from Colombia and began his major league career with the Cleveland Indians.
