The Blue Jays recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old was acquired from the Giants over the weekend and will quickly join the big-league roster with Addison Barger (ankle) landing on the injured list. Fitzgerald will provide some depth as a utility man but shouldn't be expected to receive regular playing time while up with the Blue Jays.

Hamm is dealing with a right shoulder strain with Double-A Erie, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

He hasn't officially been placed on the injured list, but the nature of the injury suggests Hamm is closer to week-to-week than day-to-day. The 23-year-old righty logged a 4.88 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 76 strikeouts in 83 innings across 20 starts at Double-A last year.

Single-A Lakeland placed Oliveto on the 60-day injured list with a left great toe fracture, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

Oliveto is completing rehab daily, and he will be making his pro debut whenever he is cleared to return. The Tigers selected Oliveto out of high school with the No. 34 overall pick in last year's draft.

The Blue Jays placed Barger on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to a left ankle sprain.

Barger sustained the injury Sunday against the White Sox, and the Blue Jays initially labeled the issue as bilateral ankle discomfort. Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Monday that Barger was "trending in the right direction," but the 26-year-old will still need some time on the shelf to recover. He'll be eligible to rejoin the active roster April 16.

Sears is recovering from a left elbow osteophyte fracture and is in a throwing program, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

Sears enjoyed a breakout 2025 season, logging a 3.49 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 123 strikeouts in 111 innings across High-A and Double-A. He only made six starts at Double-A last year, and it's unclear how lengthy Sears' recovery will be.

McMahon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the A's.

McMahon has gone 2-for-23 with six walks and 11 strikeouts through nine games this season and will hit the bench Tuesday for the second time this year. Amed Rosario is instead starting at the hot corner and batting seventh.

Teodosio went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's 6-2 win against Atlanta.

Teodosio earned his first hit and RBI of the season in the fourth inning with an infield single off Chris Sale. The 26-year-old made the team as a defensive specialist in the outfield and as a result has made eight appearances thus far, but he's started only twice in the young campaign. Last year, Teodosio batted only .203 in 50 games while mostly producing soft contact to go along with a 31.3 percent strikeout rate, but he stole seven bases when he got on base.

Single-A Lakeland placed Salcedo on the 7-day injured list as he recovers from right meniscus surgery, Sam Dykstra of MLB Pipeline reports.

Salcedo has been throwing live batting practice, so he could return in a matter of weeks. He had a 1.54 ERA, 0.60 WHIP and 32 strikeouts in 23.1 innings at Single-A to close last season, and the 20-year-old righty should get a bump to High-A once he knocks some rust off for the Flying Tigers.

High-A Winston-Salem placed Batista on the 60-day injured list March 26 while he recovers from an elbow injury, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

Batista suffered a stress fracture in his elbow last April, but he returned Aug. 20 to log 10.1 innings for the Dash, so he must have re-injured the elbow late last season or while ramping up this spring.

Albertus is continuing his recovery from a fractured left tibia suffered in July 2024, with the hope that he'll be able to join an affiliate by the end of April, Jim Callis of MLB Pipeline reports.

Albertus played in eight games in the Arizona Complex League last June, logging a 168 wRC+, but he presumably re-injured his surgically repaired tibia, as he didn't play again after June 23. Given that the former Dodgers farmhand is already 21, he could spend most of the season at High-A Winston-Salem.
