'Pen fortified as Blue Jays recall Tepera

TORONTO -- The Blue Jays recalled right-hander Ryan Tepera from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday afternoon and will temporarily carry eight relievers in their overworked bullpen, which was pushed to the limit during the weekend series against the Red Sox.

Infielder/outfielder Jimmy Paredes was designated for assignment to make room for Tepera on the 25-man roster.

The 28-year-old Tepera made three appearances for the Blue Jays prior to his arrival on Monday night. He allowed three runs on five hits and three walks over 2 1/3 innings in two stints with the club.

Paredes appeared in seven games for the Blue Jays and had four hits in 15 at-bats.
