Blue Jays' Danny Barnes: Sent to minors camp

Barnes was optioned to minor league camp on Friday, Blue Jays play-by-play announcer Mike Wilner reports.

Analysis:

Barnes carried a 5.79 ERA and 1.29 WHIP through 4.2 innings this spring. Given his low usage and unimpressive numbers, it shouldn't come as too much of a surprise that he's being sent down. The 27-year-old saw his first taste of major league action with the Blue Jays in 2016 -- posting a 3.95 ERA across 13.2 innings (12 appearances) -- and has a strong chance to earn a call-up again in 2017.
