Colabello will be called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Sportsnet.ca reports.
Colabello isn't on the 40-man roster, so the Jays will need to designate a player for assignment. While off to a fantastic start for Triple-A Buffalo this season, Colabello slashed just .229/.282/.380 over 220 plate appearances for the Twins last year, with a strikeout rate of 30 percent. He can hit for power and draw some walks, but the 31-year-old is also a poor defender who struggles to make contact. With Jose Bautista still limited to DHing until at least next week, Colabello may find it difficult to crack the starting lineup.
