The Toronto Blue Jays dropped their first game in their series against the Chicago White Sox. With the MLB Trade Deadline looming, they have quietly recalled Lazaro Estrada. Fans will have to wait and see whether Estrada gets any game action in the current Blue Jays vs. White Sox series.

MLB insider and International Prospect expert, Francys Romero, announced the transaction in a social media post on Saturday morning.

“The Blue Jays have recalled right-handed pitcher Lazaro Estrada, per source,” Romero wrote. “He’s expected to be activated today.”

This is not the first time that Estrada has been recalled to the big leagues.
