Blue Jays Secure Miles, DFA Jimenez

On March 25th, the Toronto Blue Jays are shaping up their opening day roster with some key moves.

Rule 5 draft pick Spencer Miles has secured a bullpen spot while Infelder, Leo Jimenez, was designated for Simon.

This clears the way for versatile player David Schneider to stick around at the season start.

Miles, selected from the Giants, must stay on the active roster all year or return to his original team.

Injuries to pitches like Shane Bieber, Trey Yesavage, Y Emi Garcia, and Jose Barrios open the door for him.

In spring training, he struck out 11 batters over 9 and 2 thirds innings with a 3.72 ERA.

These choices carry huge weight for the players involved, even if the roster will change often during the season.

Fans and analysts see Miles as a high upside arm, worth the risk, given his potential.

Emienez, a 24-year-old former top 5 prospect, struggled in 63 games last year with a 229 average, 4 home runs, and 19 RBIs.

Out of minor league options and limited by injury this spring to just 26 games, he's now available for trade or waivers.

With 5 days to deal him, the Jays hope to get value, but his skills make a claim likely.

Keep an eye on these spots as healthier arms return and the full line uptake shape.
