The Toronto Blue Jays have made a move to strengthen their roster by recalling left-handed pitcher Brandon Eisert and infielder Luis De Los Santos from their Triple-A affiliate, Buffalo Bisons. Both players are set to be active for the Blue Jays’ game on Sunday afternoon against the Minnesota Twins.
Heading into Sunday’s matchup, the Blue Jays find themselves 7.5 games behind the Twins in the chase for the final American League wild-card spot. This recall of Eisert and De Los Santos comes at a critical time as the team looks to close the gap and make a push for postseason contention.
Brandon Eisert, 26, has been performing well in Triple-A this season. He holds a 4-2 record with a 3.99 earned-run average (ERA) and has secured two saves. Eisert’s solid performance on the mound in the minor leagues indicates he could provide valuable relief for the Blue Jays as they navigate the final stretch of the season.
Luis De Los Santos, also 26, has contributed significantly as an infielder for the Bisons. In 43 games, De Los Santos has hit six home runs and collected 16 RBIs. His offensive production could be a boost to the Blue Jays’ lineup, adding depth and potential power to their infield.
The decision to recall these players reflects the Blue Jays’ strategic approach to bolstering their roster in a bid to improve their standings in the American League. With the postseason race heating up, the addition of Eisert and De Los Santos could play a crucial role in the team’s performance as they aim to secure a spot in the playoffs.
