News and Notes

Jul 24
RHP Jesse Litsch lost his job. Following the suspension of Wednesday's game due to a severe rain storm, the Blue Jays announced that Litsch was optioned to Class AAA Syracuse with left-hander David Purcey being recalled to take his place.
Litsch is 8-7 with a 4.46 ERA on the season but has been struggling the past two months as he's gone 1-6 in his past eight starts. So, the move hardly comes as a shock.
Last year, Litsch was the rags-to-riches story, the former Tampa Bay bat boy who made a successful jump from Class AA to go 7-9 with a 3.81 ERA in 20 starts. |

After the game on Wednesday, the Blue Jays recalled David Purcey from Triple-A Syracuse and optioned Litsch to the same club, the Associated Press reports. Recommendation: Purcey will take Litsch’s spot in rotation and will get more than just one audition. Time to drop Litsch from your lineup. |
