The Jays promote outfielder Rudy Martin to the major league roster

Summary

The Toronto Blue Jays are calling up 30-year-old outfielder Rudy Martin to the major league roster. Toronto originally acquired Martin off waivers from the Kansas City Royals this past July. Across minor league play this year, Martin recorded a.274 batting average with 11 home runs and 45 stolen bases over 369 at-bats. Because he was not on the team’s 40-man roster, the club must finalize corresponding roster moves to clear space. The left-handed hitter has experience playing all three outfield positions. He is expected to join the team immediately as they prepare for upcoming game action.
