Blue Jays reinstate reliever Yimi Garcia; Fluharty demoted
Article content The Blue Jays' bullpen, which has somehow persevered in the face of being stretched to the limit, was thrown a lifeline well before the first pitch was thrown Wednesday in the third game of a four-game series against the visiting New York Yankees. Article content Following the recent return from injury by Nick Sandlin, the Jays welcomed back Yimi Garcia, who landed on the injured list on May 24 because of right shoulder impingement. Article content Article content While Sandlin has done well in low leverage, Garcia is a high-leverage reliever capable of handling the duties of a closer, a role in which Jeff Hoffman has seemingly found his groove following a tough stretch that saw the right-hander get roughed up in the ninth inning of games when the Jays were nursing a lead. Article content The way Hoffman has responded of late, the way Yariel Rodriguez continues to shine in whatever role he's asked to embrace, and with Garcia back in the fold, the back end of the Jays' pen finds itself in the best shape it has been this season. Article content Prior to his injury, Garcia recorded three saves and six holds, while earning a 3.15 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 20 innings. Article content When he has been on his game, Garcia has looked just as formidable as Hoffman. Article content Toronto didn't require Hoffman in its rout of the Bronx Bombers on Canada Day, but it did turn to the first-year Jays closer in the series opener Monday when Hoffman helped preserve a 5-4 win. Article content A day earlier, he retired the side on strikeouts in Boston as the Jays took the series from the Boston Red Sox. Article content Hoffman entered Wednesday with 19 saves, third-highest among AL closers. Article content In his past 3.0 innings, Hoffman has recorded five strikeouts. Article content Depending on how the Jays plan to line up their bullpen, the possibility does exist of using Y-Rod in the seventh inning followed by Garcia and Hoffman. Article content Matchups dictate so much, but the bottom line is the Jays are well positioned in close late-game scenarios knowing three quality relievers, each a right-hander, are now available. Article content To make room for Garcia on the 26-man active roster, the Jays sent left-hander Mason Fluharty to the triple-A Buffalo Bisons. Article content Truth be told, Fluharty needed some kind of a reset, which can only be achieved in the minors. Article content When he did pitch in relief, Fluharty often did his job on most nights. He did hit a rough stretch of late. Article content
