TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays claimed right-hander Cole Kimball off waivers from the Washington Nationals on Wednesday.
He had a 1-0 record with a 1.93 earned-run average over 14 innings with the Nationals last season, his first in the major leagues. The 26-year-old native of Great Meadows, N.J., also made 12 relief appearances for the triple-A Syracuse Chiefs.
Kimball underwent surgery last July to repair the rotator cuff in his throwing shoulder.
