Floyd pitched two perfect innings and struck out two against the Orioles on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Floyd was called on with the Jays down 8-4 in the fifth. Granted, it was a low-leverage situation, but the appearance was his best in quite some time. The veteran started 2016 as one of the team's more dependable relievers, however he's struggled greatly over the past month. Floyd's ERA sat at a season-low 1.65 on May 11, but has ballooned to 4.25 since. Entering Sunday, he had allowed 10 runs in his previous 12 appearances (11.1 innings). If Floyd can work his way back into mid to high-leverage situations, then he can become a decent source of holds for those in deep leagues.

Floyd gave up two runs in the 11th inning Sunday to get the loss against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Floyd has given up runs in five of his last six outings and could be looking at some time off over the next couple of days. "Well, I just think that he was worn down," manager John Gibbons said. "He's been working and pitching a lot. There's a lot of innings over his career and he's had some arm issues, so we're trying to be careful with him, but the way the games have all gone the last week, they're tight games and he's been so good for us. I just think he's a little bit out of gas right now."

Despite giving up a solo homer, Floyd (2-3) picked up the win in Saturday's wild walk-off victory over the Red Sox. He struck out one during his only inning of work.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran isn't pitching as well as he did from April to mid-May, but he is seeing plenty of opportunities to get some stats. The game was tied when he gave up a home run to David Oritz, so Floyd was not only lucky to earn a win, but even more fortunate to not be tagged with the loss. Manager John Gibbons has praised Floyd repeatedly for being a reliable arm early in the year out the team's struggling pen. In 18 appearances this season (22.2 innings), Floyd has picked up two wins and three holds while maintaining a slim 3.18 ERA.

Floyd threw a clean ninth on Monday against the Giants, striking out one while picking up his second hold of the year.

EDGE Analysis

With the Jays bullpen in flux, Floyd is seemingly emerging as a late-innings candidate to rack up holds. He's allowed a run in only two of his 12 appearances this season (1.88 ERA), and in recent weeks, manager John Gibbons has spoken highly of the former starter. In an unlikely turn of events, Floyd may have bypassed Brett Cecil and Drew Storen for the set-up role in Toronto.

Floyd threw his ninth consecutive scoreless inning, allowing one hit while lowering his ERA to 1.74 Wednesday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The righty wasn't called on much through the early weeks of the season, but has now racked up six innings in the team's last eight games. While most of the bullpen has been a disaster, Floyd hasn't allowed a run since his first appearance of the year on April 6. It appears manager John Gibbons may have found something in the 33-year-old working out of the pen, and Floyd could be in line for a few hold opportunities moving forward.

Floyd will open the season in the Blue Jays' bullpen, MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floyd and Aaron Sanchez competed for the fifth starter job this spring, and manager John Gibbons announced Monday morning that Sanchez will open the season in the rotation, and Floyd will open it in the bullpen. Floyd did make it a close competition, posting a 2.19 ERA in his four spring appearances, so there's a good chance he would get the nod if the Blue Jays need to add a starter to the mix.

Floyd appears to be in a competition with Aaron Sanchez for the Jays' No. 5 starter job to begin the season, Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pitching in spring training for the first time since 2013, Floyd has a 9:1 K:BB over eight innings this spring. Sanchez has also pitched well, including a 10:1 K:BB over nine innings of Grapefruit League play. It's believed that Drew Hutchison and Jesse Chavez are behind Floyd and Sanchez in the battle for the final rotation spot, while Sanchez is the current frontrunner to begin the year with the job.

Floyd's deal with the Blue Jays is a major-league deal worth $1 million, with a million more in incentives, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Floyd figured to miss all of 2015 after receiving elbow surgery, yet he managed to squeeze in seven relief experiences in September. Floyd's role with the Blue Jays is still up in the air, but the guaranteed money means he will almost certainly get a shot at the rotation in spring training.

Floyd and the Toronto Blue Jays are headed for a deal, Jon Heyman of MLB Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear what the terms of the contract will be at this point. However, considering Floyd pitched in just seven games in 2015, all in relief, Floyd will likely receive a minor league contract with a non-roster spring training invite. Look for him to compete for either a swingman role, as he's a long shot to make Toronto's rotation.

Floyd (elbow) has been activated off the 60-day DL.

EDGE Analysis

With rosters expanding Tuesday, the Indians are activating Floyd from the disabled list and the veteran righty will rejoin the big league roster. It's not a given that he'll be a regular part of their rotation, but he'll likely get some work out of the bullpen in September.
