Blue Jays option Adam Macko to minors after Cease's return

Summary

The Toronto Blue Jays demoted left-hander Adam Macko to Triple-A after activating Dylan Cease from the injured list. Cease, who missed time due to a hamstring injury, is set to return to the rotation for a game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Macko had been performing well, recording a 1.50 ERA in 12 innings this season, but his roster spot was lost due to Cease's activation. He had a successful stint in the majors, not allowing a run in his first eight appearances. The Blue Jays are concluding a series with the Phillies, and Cease will start Game 2.
