BOSTON -- Jaime Garcia's days as a starting pitcher for the Blue Jays appear to be over.
Garcia rejoined Toronto on Saturday morning, but he has yet to be activated from the 10-day disabled list. That could happen as soon as Sunday, but whenever the veteran lefty does return it will be as a reliever.
The 32-year-old Garcia has not pitched out of the bullpen since his rookie season in 2008, but his prolonged struggles have resulted in a new role. The Blue Jays are content to continue with their current starting five, and will instead experiment with using Garcia in short stints.
