Blue Jays' Matt Buschmann: Assigned to Triple-A Buffalo
Buschmann, who signed with the Jays in early March, will begin the 2017 season at Triple-A Buffalo, Jays Journal reports.
The Missouri native was a standout at Vanderbilt from 2003 through 2006. While in college, Buschmann went 20-9 with a 3.49 ERA before being taken by the Padres in the 15th round of the 2006 draft. Since then, the right-hander has appeared in 307 minor-league games for a bevy of organizations while managing a 4.20 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. Impressively, he's totaled 1,189 strikeouts, the most among active pitchers within the minor leagues. Barring a series of injuries to Jays relievers, it's highly unlikely that Buschmann will make an impact at the major-league level this year.

Diamondbacks' Matt Buschmann: Makes MLB debut Sunday
Buschmann made his MLB debut in Sunday's loss to the Cubs, giving up a hit and a walk but no runs in one inning of work.
The 32-year-old journeyman has logged more than 1,300 innings in 10 minor league seasons, so it's great on a personal level to see him get a shot in the big leagues. He doesn't figure to have a fantasy-relevant role, however, and is more of a depth option for the Diamondbacks at this point.

Diamondbacks' Matt Buschmann: Contract selected Friday
Buschmann had his contract purchased by the Diamondbacks on Friday, Jack Magruder of Fanragsports.com reports.
The Diamondbacks bullpen has been a disappointment to start the season, so the club is hoping the addition of a veteran like Buschmann to the mix can help level things out. Buschmann spent all of last season at Triple-A, playing with three different organizations and working a combined 4.08 ERA. He'll be a depth option out of the bullpen but is unlikely to earn a fantasy relevant role.
