Hatch was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hatch was recalled Saturday, though his only appearance came Thursday when he allowed two earned runs and recorded only one out in the opening game of the doubleheader. A former starter, Hatch has proven to be a reliable reliever with Buffalo this season, though he's never had sustained success in the majors.

Hatch has yet to give up a run in the majors this season through 3.2 innings, and he's allowed just one run to score in four frames since heading back to the minors.

Hatch was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo by the Blue Jays on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hatch came up short in his bid to make the Opening Day roster. The right-hander struggled in Florida to the tune of a 9.35 ERA and 2.08 WHIP over 8.2 innings of work, and he'll head to Buffalo to begin his journey as an up-and-down option for Toronto in the 2023 campaign.
