Joseph signed a minor-league contract with the Blue Jays on Sunday, Jamie Campbell of Sportsnet reports. The deal includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph spent the 2019 season bouncing between the majors and minors, appearing in 20 games for the Diamondbacks and slashing .211/.250/.263 in 41 plate appearances. He'll compete for a spot on Toronto's Opening Day roster, though he seems more likely to fill an organizational depth role behind Reese McGuire and Danny Jansen.

Joseph was non-tendered by the Diamondbacks on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old backstop has been worth -0.4 fWAR in 321 plate appearances over the last two seasons and has a career .223 average. He may have to settle for a minor-league deal if he wants to play in 2020.

Joseph was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph had a couple stretches in the majors this season but spent the bulk of the year with Reno, where he had a .265/.324/.481 slash line in 48 games. He'll provide catching depth behind Carson Kelly and Alex Avila.

Joseph was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph spent the last couple weeks with the Diamondbacks while fellow backstop Alex Avila was on the injured list, but he will head back to Reno with Avila returning to action Friday. Joseph figures to be the top option next time Arizona needs to add a catcher from the minor-league ranks.

Joseph was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Friday, Jack Magruder of The Sports Xchange reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph will replace Alex Avila, who landed on the injured list with a calf strain in a corresponding move. The Diamondbacks have heavily rotated their catchers all season, so Joseph could potentially see a fairly even split behind the plate with Carson Kelly.

Joseph was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Thursday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph has struggled to a .176 average with two RBI over nine contests this season, so he'll head to the minors in an attempt to find his swing. The Diamondbacks recalled Tim Locastro from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Joseph is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph picked up his fourth start of the season in Wednesday's 11-2 win and turned in his best offensive showing to date, recording two hits in four at-bats. Despite the solid day at the dish, Joseph is unlikely to pick up regular playing time anytime soon as the clear No. 3 option at catcher behind Carson Kelly and John Ryan Murphy.

Joseph was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph, who owns a career .224/.271/.353 slash line across parts of five big-league seasons (402 games), will serve as the team's third catcher while Alex Avila (quadriceps) is on the shelf.

Joseph was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Joseph had been in the conversation for a backup catcher spot, but he has options remaining, so he'll lose out for now. John Ryan Murphy will be the Diamondbacks' third catcher should the team elect to keep three backstops, as they've preferred to do recently.

Joseph went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

That was all the offense the Diamondbacks mustered in a 3-2 win. Joseph is hitting .353 (6-for-17) with a pair of homers and six RBI this spring. He's competing to be one of the three catches Arizona is expected to carry on their roster.
