Daz Cameron DFA'd by Blue Jays in September roster shuffle
Toronto designated Cameron for assignment to clear a 40-man spot, with waivers and likely free agency to follow.
The Blue Jays designated outfielder Daz Cameron for assignment as part of a series of moves tied to the September roster expansion from 26 to 28 players. Cameron, 29, appeared in eight games for Toronto after being added when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went on the concussion IL, posting a .208/.200/.375 line in 25 plate appearances. He has exhausted his option years, making a demotion impossible, so the team cut him to free up a 40-man roster spot for reinstated pitcher Joe Mantiply. Cameron will be placed on waivers and, if he clears, can elect free agency given a prior outrighting in his career.
