TORONTO - The Toronto Blue Jays have claimed right-handed pitcher Donn Roach off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds.
Roach started one game for the Chicago Cubs this season before being claimed on waivers by Cincinnati on June 5.
In 22 triple-A starts this season with iowa and Louisville, the six-foot, 195-pound pitcher has a 9-6 record with a 3.50 earned-run average.
To make room on the 40-man roster the Blue Jays have transferred outfielder Michael Saunders from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
The Victoria native was shut down by the Blue Jays last week due to a left-knee injury suffered in spring training.
