The Toronto Blue Jays added right-hander Austin Voth and lefty Joe Mantiply to their major league roster Sunday, and both were available for their game against the White Sox in Chicago.
In a corresponding move, Toronto optioned right-hander Lazaro Estrada and left-hander Brendon Little to Triple-A Buffalo.
The Blue Jays also transferred right-hander Cody Ponce and outfielder Anthony Santander to the 60-day injured list.
Voth is 17-19 with a 4.70 ERA over seven major league seasons. He appeared in one game – a start – with Buffalo this season, allowing two runs in three innings.
Mantiply is 11-13 with a 4.54 ERA over eight seasons in the majors, the past six with Arizona. The 35-year-old pitched in two games with Buffalo this season.
Both Estrada and Little pitched in relief in Toronto’s 6-3 loss to the White Sox on Saturday.
Estrada threw four hitless innings in his season debut, entering in the second inning after opener Mason Fluharty allowed a run in the first.
Little took the loss Saturday, allowing three runs on homers by Munetaka Murakami and Colson Montgomery while getting just one out. He dropped to 0-2 and his ERA is 24.55 through five games this season.
