The Blue Jays have claimed righty Matt West off waivers from the Rangers, Ben
Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca tweets. Toronto designated fellow righty Cory Burns
to create roster space.
West, 26, had been designated by Texas recently to clear room for the signing of
Juan Carlos Oviedo. He reached the bigs for three outings last season, but spent
most of the year at Triple-A. Across 56 2/3 innings, he worked to a 3.34 ERA with
10.2 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9.
The 27-year-old Burns, meanwhile, also pitched last in the majors with Texas. He
worked at Triple-A last year for the Rangers and Rays, totaling 63 2/3 frames with
a 4.95 ERA and 8.2 K/9 against 2.3 BB/9. Toronto claimed him off waivers in late
September.
