The Blue Jays sent Dillon Tate to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, per team updates, to ramp up after signing March 10 without spring game action.

Fantasy Impact

Tate’s 4.66 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 36.2 innings in 2024, with no spring outings since his March 10 Jays signing, land him in Buffalo Thursday for buildup. The 30-year-old’s MLB return looms. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, hoping his relief arm earns a midseason Toronto bullpen role as depth in 2025 if he regains form.

The Blue Jays agreed to a one-year contract with Dillon Tate on Monday, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca.

After being claimed off waivers by Toronto last September and non-tendered in November, Tate returns on a major league deal. The right-hander brings a career 4.09 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and 170:65 K:BB across 215.2 innings over four MLB seasons. He provides the Blue Jays with an experienced bullpen option who could compete for a middle-relief role this spring.
