have optioned infielder Richard Urena to triple-A Buffalo to make room for Clay Buchholz’s start on Saturday against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Urena has eight hits in 24 at-bats through eight games for the Blue Jays this season, good for a .333 batting average and .360 on-base percentage. Buchholz will start for the first time this season after signing a one-year, $3 million contract with Toronto in early March. The 34-year-old right-hander needed some extra time to get ready for the season which is why he didn’t break camp with the team.
Buchholz went 7-2 with a 2.01 earned-run average in 16 starts last season with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
