"The Blue Jays announced a series of roster moves this morning. Right-handers Nick Sandlin, Bowden Francis, Yimi Garcia, and Angel Bastardo were all activated from the 60-day injured list. Meanwhile, the Jays outrighted right-handers Dillon Tate, Robinson Pina, and off their 40-man roster. Tate and Burr both elected free agency, while Pina will remain in the organization as minor league depth for the 2026 season. Additionally, Toronto has selected the contract of catcher Brandon Valenzuela."
"Pina, 27 later this month, made his big league debut earlier this year as a member of the Marlins. His time in Miami lasted just one appearance, as he surrendered a solo home run but allowed no other traffic in his lone inning of work before being designated for assignment. Pina was traded to the Blue Jays just a couple of days later in exchange for minor league hurler Colby Martin,"
"but once again made only one appearance for Toronto in 2025 with a 6.75 ERA in 1 1/3 innings of work. Despite his struggles in the majors in an extremely small sample, Pina did pitch to a respectable 3.58 ERA In 65 1/3 innings of work at Triple-A between his two organizations this year. He'll remain with the Blue Jays for 2026 as a depth option capable of pitching out of the bullpen or rotation as needed."
