The Blue Jays have released right-hander Joba Chamberlain from their Triple-A affiliate in Buffalo, the team announced (Twitter link).
The 29-year-old Chamberlain signed a minor league deal with the Blue Jays on July 21 after being released by the Tigers. However, after 22 shaky innings with the Tigers this year, Chamberlain struggled in even more dramatic fashion with Toronto’s top minor league affiliate. Appearing in seven games, Chamberlain totaled just five innings and surrendered 10 runs (eight earned) on nine hits and four walks with seven strikeouts.
Chamberlain’s average fastball velocity remained strong at 93.
