The Blue Jays announced that they designated right-hander Sam Dyson for assignment. The move creates roster space for Mark DeRosa, who signed with the team today.
Dyson, 24, made his MLB debut this past season. He appeared in two games at the MLB level but spent most of the season in the minor leagues. In 74 innings at Class A and Double-A, he posted a 3.04 ERA with 4.6 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9. The 2010 fourth round pick made his pro debut this past season.
