The Blue Jays have called reliever Tim Mayza back up to the big club as John Axford has been placed on bereavement leave for the next 3-7 games. Mayza was just down to Buffalo on Friday when designated hitter Kendrys Morales was activated from the disabled list. The 26-year old has one scoreless inning under his belt thus far this season with the big club.
Axford who will be away from the team for the better part of a week has been impressive so far making 10 relief appearances to the tune of a respectable 2.
