Bolsinger cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bolsinger transitioned to the bullpen during the offseason in an attempt to make the Blue Jays' 25-man roster, though he ultimately fell short. After clearing waivers Thursday, the 29-year-old will head to Triple-A Buffalo where he'll work towards a call-up.

Bolsinger was placed on waivers Saturday, Mike Wilner of 590 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bolsinger transitioned to the bullpen in the offseason in an attempt to make the 25-man roster, but he was unable to lock down the Blue Jays' long relief role for 2017. The 29-year-old is out of options, so he'll head to waivers where he'll likely draw some interest.

Bolsinger, who's competing for the Jays' long-relief job, has allowed three runs on eight hits and five walks while tallying 11 strikeouts through 8.2 spring innings.

EDGE Analysis

Four of Bolsinger's five walks came in his first two Grapefruit League appearances, but he's since settled down. He's recorded eight strikeouts over his last six exhibition innings and appears to be inching closer to locking down a spot on the 25-man roster.

Bolsinger allowed a hit and two walks while striking out two in a scoreless inning Sunday against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Bolsinger allowed the first three batters he faced to reach base before wiggling his was out of the jam. He finished the day on a good note when he froze Pedro Florimon for called strike three on the third out. The 29-year-old right-hander is looking to capture the team's long-relief role for 2017.

Bolsinger is the early favorite to win the job as the team's long reliever, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bolsinger is out of options and cannot be sent to the minors without clearing waivers. Instead of losing him, Bolsinger figures to make the team with a decent spring and serve as a potential spot starter if needed. The 29-year-old righty was acquired from the Dodgers in a deal for reliever Jesse Chavez and has a 4.61 ERA over 189.1 career innings. Almost all of his experience has come as a starter, but the bullpen is the only place he will fit in Toronto.

Bolsinger is the early favorite to be the Jays long reliever in 2017, Gregor Chisholm of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Jays acquired Bolsinger at the trade deadline as an insurance policy for their starting rotation. He didn't end up making a start at the big league level, and this spring, Bolsinger's opportunity will come out of the bullpen. Over 54.1 innings at triple-A in 2016, the 28-year-old went 3-5 with a 4.64 ERA.

Bolsinger, who was acquired from the Dodgers on Aug. 1, struggled mightily in his time with Triple-A Buffalo, going 1-4 with a 6.04 ERA in six starts.

EDGE Analysis

Bolsinger spent a day with the Jays before being optioned to the minors. Before the trade, the 28-year-old righty pitched in six MLB games for the Dodgers in 2016, posting a 1-4 record with a brutal 6.83 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over six starts (nearly identical to the numbers he posted in Buffalo). Despite his experience in the majors, the team declined to invite him along for September's playoff push when rosters expanded.

Bolsinger was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays made this move in order to create room on the roster for newly acquired starter Francisco Liriano. Bolsinger struggled in his six starts with the Blue Jays, owning a 1-4 record with a 6.83 ERA and 1.52 WHIP.

Bolsinger was called up by the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Toronto called up Bolsinger prior to their game against the Astros, just a day after trading for him from the Dodgers. He has had a rough season so far in 2016, accumulating a 6.83 ERA and a 1.52 WHIP during 27.2 innings of work.

Bolsinger has been traded to the Blue Jays in exchange for Jesse Chavez, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bolsinger has split time between the majors and the minors this season for the Dodgers. The 28-year-old struggled in his limited time with the Dodgers this season, posting a 6.83 ERA in 27.2 innings. Bolsinger will most likely join Triple-A Buffalo.
