Steward Berroa - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Up from Triple-A The Blue Jays recalled Berroa from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

Impact With Daulton Varsho (shoulder) headed for the injured list, Berroa will rejoin the big-league squad in order to help replenish Toronto's outfield depth. The 25-year-old owns an .825 OPS through 300 plate appearances in the minors, but he's logged just five hits in 24 MLB games. He'll likely be limited to a bench role while with the Jays.

Optioned to Buffalo Toronto optioned Berroa to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

Impact The move makes room on the Blue Jays' 26-man roster for outfielder Nathan Lukes. Berroa has seen inconsistent playing time since being recalled from Buffalo on July 3. Since that promotion, he's gone 5-for-33 with seven runs scored, five stolen bases, one RBI and a 31.7 percent strikeout rate. Berroa will go back to an everyday role in Buffalo.

Drawing rare start Berroa will start in right field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact With George Springer getting the evening off from playing the field and instead serving as the Blue Jays' designated hitter, Berroa will be called upon to step in as the team's right fielder. Since his most recent promotion from Triple-A Buffalo on July 3, Berroa has picked up just seven starts. He'll likely continue to see limited starting opportunities over the final month of the season and is expected to be deployed primarily as a late-inning defensive replacement or pinch runner.

Swipes two bags in rare start Berroa went 1-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and two stolen bases in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

Impact The 25-year-old switch hitter got the start in right field and hit ninth in the nightcap, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. Berroa has seen only 16 plate appearances in the majors this season, mainly getting deployed as a pinch runner or late-inning defensive sub, but he does have four steals in five attempts. The Blue Jays' acquisition of Joey Loperfido on Monday puts another outfielder between Berroa and more consistent playing time.
