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. Yahoo! Sports

Jul 23 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.
