The Blue Jays optioned Bloss to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bloss was a member of Houston's rotation and had been slated to start Monday before he was dealt to Toronto in the deal that sent Yusei Kikuchi to the Astros, but the Blue Jays will opt to ease him into the organization at the Triple-A level. Bloss is a 23-year-old righty with a deep arsenal and good control. He tossed four scoreless frames with three strikeouts and zero walks in his lone Triple-A start as a member of the Astros.
