Nance struck out three over 1.2 perfect relief innings to record his first hold of the season in Sunday's win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old right-hander was called up to bolster an injury-ravaged Toronto bullpen last weekend, and Nance has been surprisingly effective, allowing just an unearned run over three appearances and 3.2 innings with a 5:1 K:BB. With the Blue Jays likely to add more depth at the trade deadline and set to get setup options like Yimi Garcia (ankle/elbow) and Nick Sandlin (elbow) back in the next couple weeks, Nance's stay in the majors could end up being fairly brief.

The Blue Jays selected Nance's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

With Ryan Burr (shoulder) headed to the 60-day IL, Nance will come up from Triple-A to fill the opening on the 40-man roster and in the Blue Jays' bullpen. The 34-year-old righty has spent the entire season in the minors, turning in a 4.88 ERA and 1.22 WHIP alongside a 42:7 K:BB over 31.1 innings. He'll likely work in middle relief while with Toronto.

The Blue Jays outrighted Nance to Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday after he cleared waivers.

EDGE Analysis

Nance was cast off the 40-man roster shortly before Opening Day after failing to win a spot in the Blue Jays' season-opening bullpen. He opened the 2024 season in the San Diego organization but didn't see big-league action until after he was acquired by Toronto in August. He proceeded to turn in a 4.09 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB over 22 innings out of the Blue Jays bullpen.

The Blue Jays designated Nance for assignment Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance was unable to secure a spot in the Blue Jays' Opening Day bullpen after logging a 5.06 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 5.1 innings in Grapefruit League play. He'll end up being squeezed off the 40-man roster as the Blue Jays clear a spot in the bullpen for right-hander Jacob Barnes, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Buffalo in a corresponding move.

The Blue Jays optioned Nance to the minors Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Nance pitched both of the last two days and three of the last four, so the Blue Jays are replacing him with a fresh bullpen arm in Brett de Geus, who was called up from Triple-A Buffalo. Unless the Blue Jays bring him back by placing another player on the injured list in a corresponding move, Nance will close the 2024 season with a 4.09 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 19:9 K:BB across 22 innings over his 20 relief appearances for Toronto.

The Blue Jays selected Nance's contract from Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nance was just acquired from the Padres for cash considerations Wednesday and a day later has been added to the major-league roster. The 33-year-old has been at Triple-A El Paso all season, posting a 4.05 ERA and 35:8 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Nance -- who last appeared in the majors in 2022 -- could be sent back down once Genesis Cabrera returns from paternity leave.

The Padres reassigned Nance to minor-league camp Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Nance signed with the Padres as a non-roster invitee in the offseason and had been competing for a spot in San Diego's bullpen, but he will end up missing the cut. Nance hasn't pitched in the majors since 2022 and logged a 1.29 ERA in the minors last season while working his way back from a shoulder injury.

Nance (shoulder) is scheduled to make his fourth appearance of the Cactus League in Sunday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Through three outings, Nance -- who is attending camp as a non-roster invitee -- has struck out a batter while giving up one earned run on two hits and no walks over three innings. Nance finished the 2023 season on the Marlins' 60-day injured list after developing a shoulder issue in September, but he looks like he'll enter the 2024 campaign with a clean bill of health. The right-hander is competing for a spot in the Padres' Opening Day bullpen but is more likely to begin the season at Triple-A El Paso.

Nance (shoulder) signed a minor-league contract with the Padres on Dec. 10.

EDGE Analysis

Nance elected to become a free agent after being outrighted off the 40-man roster in Miami last month. The 32-year-old right-hander missed the majority of the 2023 season due to shoulder issues, but he should be ready for the start of spring training. He had a 4.33 ERA and 57:21 K:BB in 43.2 innings with the Marlins in 2022.

Nance (shoulder) cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

He's no longer on the Marlins' 40-man roster but will stay in the organization. Nance missed a large chunk of the 2023 campaign with shoulder problems.
