The Blue Jays traded Juenger to the Athletics on Saturday in exchange for minor-league catcher Owen Carapellotti.
After being designated for assignment Tuesday by Toronto, Juenger finds a new home with the Athletics. The 25-year-old appeared in just two games for the Blue Jays, allowing three earned runs on two hits and two walks in two innings. The A's DFA'd Brett Harris to make room on the roster for Juenger.

The Blue Jays designated Juenger for assignment Tuesday.
The right-hander had his contract selected by Toronto in late May and made his first two MLB appearances before returning to Triple-A Buffalo. Juenger gave up three earned runs over two big-league innings and has a 2.59 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 28:( K:BB across 24.1 innings at Triple-A this year.

The Blue Jays selected Juenger's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.
Juenger has pitched well for Buffalo this season, posting a 3.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 23:8 K:BB with three saves over 20 innings spanning 17 appearances (including two starts). He's taking the roster spot of Austin Voth, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Juenger hasn't tossed more than two innings in any outing this season, so he's likely slated for a role at the back of Toronto's bullpen.
