The Blue Jays designated Raposo for assignment Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The Blue Jays claimed Raposo off waivers from St. Louis in early August, and he went on to slash .246/.361/.311 with five RBI over 20 games with Triple-A Buffalo. He'll be stripped of his 40-man roster spot to create room for Yimi Garcia, who officially signed a two-year deal with Toronto on Friday, though Raposo will likely remain with the club as organizational depth behind the plate.

Blue Jays' Nick Raposo: Claimed by Jays
Rotowire
The Blue Jays claimed Raposo off waivers from the Cardinals on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo.
He was cast off St. Louis' 40-man roster Monday to help clear space for trade additions Erick Fedde and Tommy Pham, and Raposo will now get another opportunity with the Blue Jays. He'll remain in the minors upon joining his new organization, though he will reclaim a 40-man roster spot and would likely join the big-league squad if Alejandro Kirk (elbow) or Brian Serven were to miss any time.
