Danny

Barnes

The 30-year-old hurler spent the past 10 seasons in the Blue Jays’ organization, posting a 4.33 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 114/51 K/BB ratio over 120 2/3 innings in the big leagues. He’ll add bullpen depth for the Orioles.

Barnes cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. The 29-year-old will be in camp with the Blue Jays as a non-roster player in the spring.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-signed Freddy Galvis. Barnes, 29, owns a 4.33 ERA over 119 relief appearances in the majors.

Barnes has made three relief appearances with the Jays this season and has been dominant in the minors, posting a 0.73 ERA and 77/6 K/BB ratio over 61 1/3 innings. He’ll work in middle relief.

Barnes has posted a dominant 0.84 ERA, 0.51 WHIP, and 61/5 K/BB ratio in 53 1/3 innings this season between Double-A New Hampshire and Triple-A Buffalo. He should be an asset for the Jays in middle relief.

Barnes allowed two earned runs on two walks and two hits Tuesday in a one-inning relief appearance against the Rays. He has been dominant over 53 1/3 innings this season with Buffalo and should get another shot when major league rosters expand in September.

He’ll be taking the place of Francisco Liriano, who is out with a concussion. Liriano will miss a minimum of seven days, meaning he won’t be available for the rest of the ALDS. Barnes spent most of 2016 in the minor leagues but was serviceable in 12 relief outings for Toronto this year (3.95 ERA in 13 2/3 innings).

He’s been replaced on the roster by reliever Danny Barnes. Liriano suffered a mild concussion after getting hit by a line drive late in Friday’s Game 2 win over Texas. He’ll miss a minimum of seven days. Liriano has been working out of the Blue Jays’ bullpen this postseason.

He’ll replace Aaron Sanchez (finger) on the active roster. Barnes, 27, has already tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings with the Jays this year and will pitch in middle relief.

Barnes, 27, had allowed two runs in six innings over his first four appearances in Triple-A this year. He put up a 3.95 ERA over 12 appearances with the Blue Jays last season. He’ll operate in middle relief.
