The Toronto Blue Jays will be giving away Yangervis Solarte T-shirts to the first 15,000 fans who arrive at Rogers Centre for Thursday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

Originally, the Blue Jays were slated to hand out T-shirts of closer Roberto Osuna. The team made the change after Osuna was arrested for domestic assault early Tuesday morning. Osuna was later placed on administrative leave by MLB.

Solarte was acquired in an offseason trade with the San Diego Padres for a pair of minor leaguers. In 33 games with the Blue Jays, the infielder is hitting .270/.354/.532 with nine home runs, six doubles, and 22 RBIs.
