Right-hander Chad Jenkins was designated for assignment by the Toronto Blue Jays on Saturday to make room on the 40-man roster for Gavin Floyd, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports.
Floyd officially signed a one-year, $1-million deal with Toronto.
Analysis:
Jenkins had been a steady performer out of the bullpen before 2015, averaging a 3.25 ERA and 32.1 innings per year in the three seasons prior. However, a brutal spring and mediocre results last season made the out-of-options reliever expendable. If he manages to clear waivers, he'll likely go back to Triple-A Buffalo.
