Nance struck out three over 1.2 perfect relief innings to record his first hold of the season in Sunday's win over the Giants. The 34-year-old right-hander was called up to bolster an injury-ravaged Toronto bullpen last weekend, and Nance has been surprisingly effective, allowing just an unearned run over three appearances and 3.2 innings with a 5:1 K:BB. With the Blue Jays likely to add more depth at the trade deadline and set to get setup options like Yimi Garcia (ankle/elbow) and Nick Sandlin (elbow) back in the next couple weeks, Nance's stay in the majors could end up being fairly brief.

The Blue Jays selected Nance's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday. With Ryan Burr (shoulder) headed to the 60-day IL, Nance will come up from Triple-A to fill the opening on the 40-man roster and in the Blue Jays' bullpen. The 34-year-old righty has spent the entire season in the minors, turning in a 4.88 ERA and 1.22 WHIP alongside a 42:7 K:BB over 31.1 innings. He'll likely work in middle relief while with Toronto.

The Blue Jays outrighted Nance to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday after he cleared waivers. Nance was cast off the 40-man roster shortly before Opening Day after failing to win a spot in the Blue Jays' season-opening bullpen. He opened the 2024 season in the San Diego organization but didn't see big-league action until after he was acquired by Toronto in August. He proceeded to turn in a 4.09 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB over 22 innings out of the Blue Jays bullpen.

The Blue Jays designated Nance for assignment Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Nance was unable to secure a spot in the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen after logging a 5.06 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 5.1 innings in Grapefruit League play. He'll end up being squeezed off the 40-man roster as the Blue Jays clear a spot in the bullpen for right-hander Jacob Barnes, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

The Blue Jays selected Nance's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Nance was just acquired from the Padres for cash considerations Wednesday and a day later has been added to the major-league roster. The 33-year-old had been at Triple-A El Paso all season, posting a 4.05 ERA and 35:8 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Nance -- who last appeared in the majors during 2022 -- could be sent back down once Genesis Cabrera returns from paternity leave.
