Blue Jays DFA Leo Jiménez as Spencer Miles Wins Opening Day Spot
Toronto designated infielder Leo Jiménez for assignment (he’s out of options) after he didn’t win the final bench spot, and Angel Bastardo was also DFA’d. Rule 5 pick Spencer Miles earned the last middle-relief slot and will be on the Opening Day roster, while Davis Schneider is expected to fill the bench role. Jiménez is likely to land with another organization via trade or waivers, and Bastardo will go through waivers as Toronto trims its roster.
