The Blue Jays selected Barnes' contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes will rejoin the Toronto bullpen as a replacement for Anthony Castro, who was optioned to Triple-A after tossing 28 pitches in a relief appearance Tuesday against the Yankees. Before being outrighted off the 40-man roster in early August, Barnes made nine appearances for Toronto and gave up six earned runs in nine innings.

The Blue Jays outrighted Barnes to Triple-A Buffalo on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes will remain in Toronto's organizations after none of MLB's other 29 teams were willing to put in a waiver claim for the 31-year-old reliever when he was designated for assignment last week. Before being dropped from the 40-man roster, Barnes appeared in nine games for Toronto and gave up six earned runs while striking out 13 in nine innings.

Barnes was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was traded from the Mets to the Blue Jays in mid-June, and he tossed six scoreless innings across his first five relief appearances with his new club. However, he struggled recently and allowed six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out five in three innings across his last four outings. His removal from the 40-man roster clears room for left-hander Kirby Snead, whose contract was selected by the Blue Jays on Monday.

Manager Charlie Montoyo said Saturday that the newly acquired Barnes is expected to join the team for their upcoming series against the Marlins, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was traded to Toronto from the Mets in exchange for cash considerations earlier Saturday. It sounds like the right-hander will join the 26-man roster for the start of the series in Miami on Tuesday, though nothing has been made official at this point. Barnes posted a subpar 6.27 ERA and 1.29 WHIP while logging 18.2 innings with the Mets prior to Saturday's trade.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes was designated for assignment by the Mets on Monday, but he'll now find a spot on Toronto's 40-man roster. The right-hander posted a 6.27 ERA and 1.29 WHIP in 18.2 innings with the Mets this year, but he could head to Triple-A Buffalo going forward.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes posted a 6.27 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 18.2 innings for the Mets this season, and he lost his spot on the 40-man roster after surrendering three runs on five hits in his past two outings. Sean Reid-Foley was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding move.

Barnes recorded the final out of the seventh inning for the save in Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes inherited a runner on first base with two outs in the seventh inning, and he got Ryan McMahon to fly out to left field to end the game. The 31-year-old has two saves in his last three appearances. These were unique situations, as one was extra innings and Thursday's was a seven-inning doubleheader. He doesn't normally receive any save opportunities. Barnes has a 6.43 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP in 14 innings.

Barnes recorded the final out of Friday's 6-5 extra-innings win over the Marlins to record his first save of the season.

EDGE Analysis

After the Mets scored three runs in the top of the 12th inning, Aaron Loup entered the game to try and finish it off with all the team's high-leverage arms having worked earlier in the evening. The left-hander gave up two runs before Barnes was summoned and induced a flyout from Adam Duvall. Barnes now has one save to go with his one win and one hold on the year, but his 7.71 ERA -- fueled by four homers allowed in 11.2 innings -- will keep him far away from key situations on most nights.

Barnes (1-1) allowed a run on one hit and struck out two in one inning in Wednesday's loss to Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander got through the eighth inning without trouble, but Ronald Acuna hit a walkoff solo home run against him in the ninth. Barnes has struggled to a 7.94 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings this year. He has just one hold in 11 outings -- given his inconsistent play, he's unlikely to see many high-leverage opportunities.

Barnes (1-0) pitched a perfect seventh inning on Sunday, earning the win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Barnes pitched a three-up three-down seventh inning when the Mets were losing before they erupted for a six-run eighth inning. Sunday was only Barnes' fifth appearance and first since April 24. He has a 7.50 ERA in six innings.
