The Blue Jays promoted pitching prospect Marcus Stroman to the majors after Saturday's game and will use the highly-regarded youngster out of the bullpen initially, Sportsnet reports.
Stroman has done an excellent job with Triple-A Buffalo over the first month of the season, going 2 2 with a 1.69 ERA and 36:7 K:BB ratio in 26 2/3 innings over five starts. Despite his move to the major-league bullpen, he figures to join the team's rotation before long.
