The Blue Jays recalled Tepera from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Brendan Kennedy of the Toronto Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tepera will provide the Blue Jays with another quality bullpen arm -- the right-hander posted a 1.06 ERA in 21 appearances with Buffalo and a 2.28 ERA in 21 outings with the big club earlier this year. He will join the Blue Jays' middle relief corps.

Tepera was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, SportsNet's Shi Davidi reports. Tepera was called up along with Felix Doubront, who is a candidate to start against the White Sox on Tuesday. Although he hasn't seen much work in key situations, Tepera has impressed by posting a 2.77 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 10:1 K:BB ratio over 13 innings this season. He isn't an especially promising prospect, but his recent performance at the big-league and Triple-A levels suggests he could be a solid middle reliever.

Tepera was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo following Sunday's game against the Orioles. Tepera was one of three pitchers losing a spot on the 25-man roster following Sunday's contest, though he wasn't horrible in the outing. He allowed one hit and struck out one in just one-third inning of work Sunday, but the hit allowed a fourth run to score in the top of the 9th inning. No corresponding move has been announced, but Tepera will once again serve as organizational depth.

Tepera struck out one in a perfect inning against the Marlins in Monday's victory. Tepera has been used sparingly this season, but is currently in possession of a sparkling 0.72 WHIP, pitching 8.1 innings with six hits allowed and no walks to go along with seven strikeouts. Tepera hasn't been entrusted with pitching in any sort of high leverage situation and has limited fantasy value due to his low innings count and lack of counting stats.

Tepera made his first career MLB appearance, pitching two perfect innings with a strikeout. Pitching the seventh and eighth innings, Tepera opened his MLB career by facing Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and Hanley Ramirez, getting all three out in order. He had good numbers in Triple-A and with how much the Jays bullpen is in flux, he could see some higher leverage situations; however, he has limited fantasy value due to the revolving door nature of their bullpen and his lack of counting stats.

Tepera was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, SportsNet's Ben Nicholson-Smith reports. The 27-year-old righty will slot into the Jays' bullpen, bringing adequate stuff and command that has been much better this year than in past seasons in the minors. He had a 0.57 ERA and a 17:5 K:BB ratio in 15.2 innings at Buffalo. Chad Jenkins was sent down as the corresponding move.

Tepera was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Sportsnet's Ben Nicholson-Smith reports. Tepera was placed on the 40-man roster back in November, following a solid season with Triple-A Buffalo. He was still nothing more than a long shot for a spot at the back of Toronto's bullpen.

Tepera was added to the 40-man roster on Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet reports. In doing so, Tepera will be protected from being eligible for the Rule 5 draft. The 27-year-old, a 19th-round pick in 2009, spent last season at Triple-A Buffalo, going 7-3 with a 3.66 ERA in 64.0 innings. Tepera allowed just four home runs while striking out 67 batters and walking 24.
