Blue Jays' Matt Peacock: Up with big club
Rotowire
The Blue Jays recalled Peacock from Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rays, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.
Toronto placed starting pitcher Ross Stripling (glute) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, but the team will presumably look to trade-deadline pickup Mitch White to fill Stripling's spot in the rotation when it comes up Thursday in Minnesota. Peacock, meanwhile, is in line to serve as a long-relief option out of the bullpen for the duration of his stay with the big club. Over 10 innings in the major this season with the Royals and Diamondbacks, Peacock has given up six earned runs on 12 hits and four walks.

Blue Jays' Matt Peacock: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Blue Jays optioned Peacock to Triple-A Buffalo after claiming him off waivers from the Royals on Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Peacock had been a member of Kansas City's big-league bullpen prior to being dropped from its 40-man roster and subsequently exposed to waivers. Toronto doesn't have a spot available in its bullpen for Peacock at the moment, so the 28-year-old will report to Buffalo and look to impress enough to earn a call-up at a later time.

Rotowire
The Blue Jays claimed Peacock off waivers from the Royals on Wednesday, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.

Between the two clubs, he turned in a 5.40 ERA and 1.60 WHIP with six strikeouts over 10 innings. Peacock has two minor-league options remaining, so the Blue Jays will most likely stash him at Triple-A Buffalo until the big club has a need for an extra bullpen arm.
