The Blue Jays have designated Tommy Hottovy for assignment, the team announced. The move clears room on the 40-man roster for the recently-signed Henry Blanco.
Toronto claimed Hottovy off waivers from Rangers just yesterday. The 31-year-old left-hander appeared in nine MLB games with the Royals this past season, but spent most of the year at Triple-A, where he posted a 2.52 ERA with 11.0 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 in 50 innings.
