With the bats slumping and their star third baseman on the disabled list, the Jays have added a World Series champion to their roster.
The team called up utility fielder Chris Coghlan from the triple-A Buffalo Bisons on Friday, and after a quick trip down the QEW, he was ready for action for the second of a four-game series with the Baltimore Orioles.
Coghlan, who started in Game 1 of the Chicago Cubs’ World Series win over Cleveland last October and was a pinch-runner in the clinching Game 7, is hoping to revive his career with the Jays.
