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.
