Trent Thornton - Designated for assignment Thornton was designated for assignment Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the newly-acquired Genesis Cabrera. Thornton has pitched well during his brief time in the majors this season but has spent the bulk of the year at Triple-A Buffalo, where he's posted a 4.18 ERA in 22 relief appearances.

Génesis Cabrera - Acquired by Blue Jays The Blue Jays acquired Cabrera from the Cardinals in exchange for Sammy Hernandez on Friday, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

Impact Cabrera had been designated for assignment after posting a disappointing 5.06 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 38:18 K:BB over 32 innings out of the St. Louis bullpen this season. The left-hander has a big arm and has flashed more in the past, though, so perhaps Toronto will be able to coax more out of him.

Alejandro Kirk - Homers, tallies three hits in win Kirk went 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and one run scored in Thursday's win over the Padres.

Impact Kirk singled in each of his first two trips to the plate and walked in third at-bat, but was left stranded each time. He then added a two-run home in the bottom of the eighth to put the Blue Jays up 4-0, his first long ball since June 5 against the Astros. The catcher is still hitting just .172 for the month after the three-hit performance while it was also his first time drawing a walk in his last 23 games.

Chris Bassitt - Hurls six shutout innings Bassitt (10-5) earned the win Thursday, allowing four hits and one walk over six scoreless innings against the Padres. He struck out five.

Impact Bassitt retired 10 of the first 12 batters he faced and never really found himself in trouble outside of the sixth inning when he walked Juan Soto to open the frame before giving up a single to Xander Bogaerts. However, the lefty was quickly able to pitch his way out of the jam en route to earning his 10th win of the season. Bassitt has now won his last three decisions (spanning five starts), allowing two earned runs or fewer in each of those wins.
