The Blue Jays recalled relievers Joe Matinply and Austin Voth from minor league contracts while sending Brendon Little and Lazaro Estrada to Triple-A Buffalo. Matinply, a former All-Star with a 4.54 ERA, relies on command and groundballs rather than strikeouts. He is seen as a stopgap while the team evaluates other options, including Patrick Corbin. Voth, previously with the White Sox, provides a fresh arm for the bullpen as the team navigates its pitching needs.
"Joe Matinply, a long-time bullpen arm for the Arizona Diamondbacks, has a career 4.54 ERA in 256 games and is known for his command and groundball pitching."
"Matinply's pitch selection includes a sinker, changeup, curveball, and a four-seam fastball that can reach 93 MPH, making him a strategic addition to the Blue Jays."
"Austin Voth, originally signed by the Chicago White Sox, was released and later signed by the Blue Jays, providing a fresh arm for the bullpen."
"Matinply is viewed as a stopgap for Toronto as they assess their pitching options, including the recent signing of Patrick Corbin."
