The Blue Jays optioned Pinango to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.
Pinango has certainly held his own at the big-league level to this point, sporting a .283/.331/.433 batting line with four home runs and a 9:30 BB:K over 136 plate appearances. However, with Daulton Varsho returning from the injured list this past weekend and Addison Barger (elbow) seemingly not far off, Pinango will head back to Buffalo where he can play on a regular basis.
