He also hit .255 with the Buffalo Bisons last season with seven home runs and 21 RBIs.

Additionally, the Blue Jays assigned six players to the team’s minor league camp, highlighted by infielder Arjun Nimmala.
Nimmala, 20, is ranked No. 3 on the Blue Jays’ top prospects list after he was drafted 20th overall by the club in 2023.

Also assigned to the Blue Jays’ minor league camp were pitchers Javen Coleman and MIchael Plassmeyere, catch Geovanny Planchart, and infielders Sean Keys, and Charles McAdoo.
