Two Players Join Jays In Chicago

The Blue Jays have added pitcher Shaun Anderson and catcher Zach Collins to the team's taxi squad.

Right-hander Shaun Anderson is also with the Blue Jays in Chicago on club’s taxi squad.

No roster moves for now. Blue Jays would need to open a 40-man spot to activate Anderson; could do so by placing Hyun Jin Ryu on 60-day IL. Club’s bullpen has been heavily taxed this week.

Shaun Anderson has been with the Blue Jays' minor league affiliate Triple-A Buffalo all season, posting a 3.91 ERA, 1.37 WHIP with 39 strikeouts in 46 innings.

The Blue Jays bullpen has been heavily used lately and definitely need a boost, so it would not be surprising to see Ryu moved to the 60-day injured list and Anderson added to the roster.

Zach Collins has played 22 games with the Jays this season, batting .212/.288/.455 with four home runs and 10 RBIs. The Blue Jays currently have Alejandro Kirk and Gabriel Moreno splitting time in the catcher position.
