Pannone was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Pannone owns a 5.91 ERA and a 1.54 WHIP in 35 innings for the Blue Jays this season. Nick Kingham was added to the roster in a corresponding move.

Pannone was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Pannone made two starts and 12 relief appearances for the Blue Jays earlier in the season but struggled to a 6.85 ERA. Elvis Luciano was placed on the bereavement list in a corresponding move.

Pannone was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The southpaw will head down to make room for Edwin Jackson on the Jays' roster. Pannone has a 6.85 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 24:10 K:BB through 22.1 innings in the majors this year, and will likely be a frequent flyer on the Toronto-Buffalo shuttle over the summer.

Pannone was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Pannone was optioned to Buffalo on Thursday but quickly returns to Toronto with Clay Buchholz (shoulder) landing on the injured list. The 25-year-old could be used in long relief Friday after opener Daniel Hudson, and remains a candidate to fill in as a spot starter with Clayton Richard (knee) also on the IL.

Pannone was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays will wait until Friday to announce a corresponding roster move. Pannone flopped in a start last week, giving up seven runs in just 2.1 innings in Texas, and it seems the Blue Jays are optimistic Clayton Richard (knee) will be ready the next time they need a fifth starter. It's uncertain if Pannone will start or pitch in relief during his time with Buffalo.

Pannone (1-3) allowed seven runs on five hits and three walks while striking out one over 2.1 innings in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty gave up a homer to Nomar Mazara in the first inning and then walked the bases loaded in the second, with all three runners coming around to score on an Isiah Kiner-Falefa triple. Pannone threw 58 pitches (33 strikes) before getting the hook. This was a tough matchup in Texas, but it counts as a flop nonetheless, and it would not be surprising to see the Blue Jays turn elsewhere the next time they need a fifth starter.

Pannone will start Saturday against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The Blue Jays have been able to operate with four starters since Matt Shoemaker (knee) suffered a season-ending injury thanks to a few off days, but the team finally needs a fifth starter Saturday. As such, Pannone will join the rotation for a spot start. Seeing as Toronto doesn't need a fifth starter again for a couple of weeks after Saturday, Pannone will likely return to the bullpen following his start. The 25-year-old has started one game for the Blue Jays this season, allowing four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six across 2.2 innings.

Pannone is expected to return to the Toronto bullpen after manager Charlie Montoyo said Clay Buchholz (elbow) would be activated from 10-day injured list ahead of a scheduled start Saturday in Tampa Bay, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pannone entered the rotation last week as a replacement for No. 5 starter Sean Reid-Foley, who was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. The 24-year-old lefty didn't make a positive impression in his first start of 2019, striking out six but giving up four runs on five hits and two walks over just 2.2 innings in a matchup with a weak Indians lineup. Pannone will likely be ticketed for a long-relief role upon returning to the bullpen.

Pannone (0-2) allowed four runs on five hits while striking out six and walking two across just 2.2 innings during a loss to the Indians on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

While Pannone did induce eight swinging strikes against 15 batters, the Indians also hit him hard. It didn't help Pannone also walked a batter with the bases loaded. He does have 11 strikeouts in 7.2 innings to begin the season, but Pannone is off to a rough start overall with an 0-2 record, 5.87 ERA and 1.57 WHIP through two outings. His next start should come against the Rays next week.

Pannone is scheduled to start Saturday against the Indians, Mike Wilner of Sportsnet 590 The Fan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming Friday's game doesn't get postponed, Pannone will enter the rotation in place of Sean Reid-Foley, who was optioned to the minors after struggling in his first start. The 24-year-old impressed in a long-relief appearance earlier in the week, fanning five in four scoreless innings against the Orioles.
