Blue Jays option Roden and Tate, recall Clase and Fisher from triple-A

The Toronto Blue Jays made a batch of roster moves ahead of Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Toronto optioned rookie outfielder Alan Roden and relief pitcher Dillon Tate to triple-A Buffalo. It also recalled outfielder Jonatan Clase, selected reliever Braydon Fisher to the major-league roster and designated Steward Berroa for assignment.

Roden’s demotion comes after the 25-year-old broke camp with the Blue Jays following a strong spring showing. Over 28 regular-season games, he had a slash line of .178/.262/.260 with one home run and three doubles.

He will be replaced in Toronto’s outfield by the switch-hitting Clase, who was acquired ahead of last year’s trade deadline as part of the return from the Seattle Mariners for Yimi García.

Clase appeared in 26 games down the stretch of a lost 2024 for the Blue Jays and was designated as the 27th man for a doubleheader against the New York Yankees in late April. So far this season with Buffalo, the 22-year-old was slashing .315/.419/.371 with 15 stolen bases in 27 games.

Joining him on the big-league roster will be Fisher, who Toronto landed in return for Cavan Biggio from the Los Angeles Dodgers last June.

The right-handed throwing Fisher has been solid in late-game duties for the Bisons this season. He had a 2.38 ERA, 14 strikeouts and two saves over nine appearances. When he gets into a game with the Blue Jays, it will be his MLB debut.

Tate, meanwhile, continues to be shuttled between Toronto and Buffalo. The 31-year-old signed a one-year, split contract with the Blue Jays in spring training. Over 5.1 MLB innings in 2025, he has a 5.06 ERA with seven strikeouts and six walks.

Finally, Berroa gets DFA’d to make room for Fisher on the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old outfielder has spent the entire season with the Bisons after getting some MLB time with the Blue Jays in 2024.

You can watch as the Blue Jays look to snap their three-game losing streak on Wednesday night against old friend Yusei Kikuchi and the Angels. The game can be seen on Sportsnet ONE or streamed on Sportsnet+, starting at 9:30 p.m. ET / 6:30 p.m. PT.
