Blue Jays Recall Right-Hander Dillon Tate from Buffalo
Tate Returns to Toronto After Two-Year Absence
The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled right-handed pitcher Dillon Tate from their Triple-A affiliate, the Buffalo Bisons. Tate, who was originally acquired by the Blue Jays in the 2021 George Springer trade with the New York Yankees, will be making his first appearance in the majors since the 2020 season.
Tate's Impressive Season in Buffalo
In 12 starts with the Bisons this year, Tate has posted a 3.97 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 60 strikeouts in 59.1 innings pitched. He has also recorded four quality starts and has allowed only three home runs all season.
Expected Role with the Blue Jays
Tate is expected to fill a long relief role out of the Blue Jays' bullpen. The 28-year-old has experience starting and relieving in the past, so he should be able to provide the team with some flexibility.
Tate's Potential Impact
Tate's addition to the Blue Jays' bullpen could be a significant boost for the team. He is a talented pitcher with a lot of potential, and he could help to stabilize the team's relief corps. The Blue Jays are currently in a playoff race, so Tate's arrival could be a key factor in the team's success.
