Toronto also optioned left-hander Tim Mayza to the triple-A Buffalo Bisons.

Right-handers Joe Biagini and Sam Gavgilo were recalled from Buffalo to fill out the pitching staff before Toronto started a three-game series with the visiting Boston Red Sox.

Biagini has an 0-3 record in four starts and a 4.57 ERA with Buffalo this season. He failed to impress in two major league starts earlier this season with an 0-1 record and 8.10 ERA.

Gavgilo, acquired from Kansas City on March 21, has a 0-0 record with a 1.86 ERA in five appearances with the Bisons.
