TORONTO — Left-hander Justin Bruihl<\/a> was traded Wednesday from the Toronto Blue Jays<\/a> to the Cleveland Guardians<\/a>, who cut 2024 postseason star Jhonkensy Noel<\/a> to open a roster spot.<\/p>\n

Noel, who was designated for assignment, hit a tying, two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning off the New York Yankees<\/a>‘ Luke Weaver<\/a> in Game 3 of the AL Championship Series, a game Cleveland won 7-5 when David Fry<\/a> homered in the 10th.<\/p>\n

Bruihl was designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Monday to open a roster spot for reliever Tyler Rogers<\/a>, who agreed to a $37 million, three-year contract. Bruihl, 28, had a 5.27 ERA in 15 relief appearances this year.<\/p>\n
