Lazaro Estrada struck out six in 2 2/3 scoreless innings for Scottsdale of the Arizona Fall League on Wednesday.
Estrada, 25, has a 1.59 ERA in two AFL appearances after posting a 3.29 ERA and a 113/33 K/BB in 98 1/3 innings between A-ball and Double-A this season. The native of Cuba went unpicked in the Rule 5 draft last year, but he might be a candidate to go this time around if the Blue Jays decline to protect him. He lacks a high ceiling, but there’s the chance he’d be a decent swingman for some team next year.
