Blue Jays' Darrell Ceciliani: Optioned to minor league camp

Ceciliani was optioned to minor-league camp Wednesday, John Lott of the Athletic reports.

Analysis:

The 26-year-old went on a nice run toward the middle of March which put him back in the conversation for a roster spot, but he then hit a 1-for-11 slide to close out his time in big-league spring training. While Ceciliani will likely report to Triple-A Buffalo to begin 2017, he could be a DFA candidate early on if the Blue Jays decide they need to add depth at another position.
