TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays recalled pitcher CJ Van Eyk from triple-A Buffalo on Friday and designated fellow right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson for assignment.

Van Eyk was available for the opener of a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night at Rogers Centre, the Blue Jays said.

The 27-year-old appeared in three games for Toronto earlier this season. He posted a 0-1 record and 4.76 earned-run average.

In Buffalo, Van Eyk was 6-3 with a 3.79 ERA over 21 appearances (15 starts). He was selected by the Blue Jays with the 42nd overall pick of the 2020 draft.
