The Blue Jays designated Gaviglio for assignment Monday.
Toronto dropped Gaviglio and infielder Brandon Drury from its 40-man roster to clear space for pitcher Ross Stripling and infielder Jonathan Villar, both of whom were acquired prior to Monday's trade deadline. Gaviglio has served mostly as a low-leverage option out of the bullpen during multiple stints with the big club this season, giving up three runs on three hits and five walks over three innings.
