Who figured we would have roster moves with just four games. But here we are.
- Tommy Nance has been optioned to the Spring Training Complex (not that he’ll go there).
- Brett de Geus was recalled from Buffalo.
de Geus was picked up off waivers from the Marlins on September 12th. He’s a RHP. He pitched 5.2 innings for the Marlins earlier in the season, giving up 7 hits, 2 walk and 4 strikeouts. He’s also pitched for the Rangers, Diamondbacks and Mariners in the past two seasons.
In total, he has pitched in 58 games with a 7.17 ERA in the majors. In 59 innings, batters have hit.309/.401/.466. In the minors this year, he has a 5.31 ERA.
From a scouting report by Lookout Landing:
As far as doing one’s best, de Geus has real stuff that hasn’t matched up with the results he’s gotten so far. His arsenal consists of a two-seam that zips in around 97-98 with plus command, and he complements it with a cutter that comes in at 91-93. His main whiff-getting pitch is a hammer curve (86-87), and he’ll also throw a hard changeup (87)
Bo Bichette had surgery to insert a pin into his broken finger. He should be ready for spring training.
Bowden Francis said his stuff hasn’t been as sharp his last few starts as he continued to put up historical numbers, but “it’s not just the horsepower, you’ve got to drive the car, too.” #Bluejays

Today’s lineup. No Springer, Clase leads off.
How will they lose this one?
