Blue Jays purchased the contract of INF Chris Getz from Triple-A Buffalo.
Getz was batting .309/.382/.338 with nine RBI and six steals over his first 18 games in Triple-A and should get most of the playing time at second base following the Ryan Goins demotion. With his speed, he's worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues.

Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports that the Blue Jays will call up Chris Getz prior to Tuesday's game.
He'll take the roster spot of Ryan Goins, who has already been sent down. Getz earned the promotion after batting .309/.382/.338 with nine RBI and six steals over his first 18 games at Triple-A Buffalo. He should see a good amount of playing time at second base and makes for a worthy deep league pickup due to his speed.
