Blue Jays' Nick Tepesch: Inks minors deal with Toronto
Nick Tepesch signed a minor-league contract with the Toronto Blue Jays earlier this month, Jacob Rosenfarb of FanRagSports.com reports.The deal didn't include an invitation to the Blue Jays' major-league camp, despite the right-hander having covered 15.2 innings over four MLB outings with Minnesota and Toronto in 2017. Tepesch didn't find much success in either locale, but will return to the Blue Jays' organization and presumably attempt to revive his career in the high minors. He'll likely fill a rotation spot at Triple-A Buffalo or work as a long man out of the bullpen.

Blue Jays' Nick Tepesch: Optioned to Triple-A
Nick Tepesch was reinstated from paternity leave and sent down to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Mike Wilner of BlueJaysTalk reports.Tepesch seemed to be the odd man out following Tom Koehler's call-up Thursday, and it was made official prior to this weekend's series against the Twins. Instead of occupying a spot in the bullpen, Tepesch will journey back to Buffalo for the time being, but he could return to the big-league club as early as next week when the rosters expand. During three starts with the Toronto Blue Jays, the right-hander has posted a 5.14 ERA and 1.71 WHIP while recording just seven strikeouts in 14 innings. Following Tepesch's demotion, it appears likely that Joe Biagini will come up from Triple-A Buffalo and start for Toronto on Sunday.

Blue Jays' Nick Tepesch: Could lose spot in rotation
Nick Tepesch (paternity) may be an odd man out regarding Toronto's rotation moving forward with Tom Koehler entering the fold for Thursday's game against the Rays, Mike Wilner of BlueJaysTalk reports.Tepesch struggled during his previous outing Saturday, giving up a pair of runs on five hits and three walks in just 3.2 innings against the Cubs. He hasn't provided much in his four starts this season, posting a 5.17 ERA and 1.98 WHIP while only striking out nine over 15.2 innings. There hasn't been any official word on whether the right-hander will be replaced in the coming days, but the with J.A. Happ set to take the mound Friday, Tepesch will either pick up a start this weekend or head to the bullpen.

Blue Jays' Nick Tepesch: Lands on paternity list
Nick Tepesch was placed on the paternity list Tuesday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.Tepesch will be away from the team for a maximum of three games while he awaits the birth of his child. Due to the Toronto Blue Jays' off day Monday, the team wouldn't have needed Tepesch until its games either Friday or Saturday against the Rays, so the right-hander's absence for a few days won't force manager John Gibbons to alter his rotation. The Blue Jays called up Tim Mayza from Triple-A Buffalo to provide some extra depth out of the bullpen in the meantime.

Blue Jays' Nick Tepesch: Short outing Saturday
Nick Tepesch struck out three and didn't factor into the decision after giving up two runs on five hits and three walks over 3.2 innings Saturday against the Cubs.Tepesch struggled Saturday -- throwing just 67 pitches and registering his shortest outing as a Blue Jay -- after tossing a quality start and earning his first win of the season last week. He now owns an unimpressive 5.17 ERA and 9:9 K:BB through four big-league starts, and he may be in jeopardy of losing his spot in the rotation with Joe Biagini nearing a promotion. Even if he is given another start, which would likely come Friday against the Twins, he isn't a viable fantasy option.
