Blue Jays announce they've acquired righty reliever Connor Seabold from the Tigers for high-A Vancouver lefty Juanmi Vasquez.
Seabold was in camp with the Blue Jays in the spring but exercised an out and joined the Tigers, where he had a 3.45 ERA in 15.2 innings over 11 outings.

Rookie catcher hitting for average and power, more walks than strikeouts, who’s also a plus defender.
Wow.
Nathan Lukes returns from IL with Davis Schneider optioned to triple-A Buffalo.
Over the weekend John Schneider said the Blue Jays were thinking about this differently than when Addison Barger returned and Yohendrick Pinango was optioned.
Pinango’s play changed things.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is not in tonight's #BlueJays lineup, after taking a pitch to the elbow yesterday afternoon.
Lenyn Sosa is playing 1B, hitting 9th.
The #BlueJays have optioned Davis Schneider to AAA and activated Nathan Lukes from the IL.
Schneider was optioned in late-April last year, spent 6 weeks in AAA, then came back to be a big part of the '25 team. Ideally, this can be a similarly beneficial reset.
This left the bat at 106.8 mph. His single later in the game was smacked at 104.1. First game this season in which Springer has multiple hits over 100 mph. He’s heating up 🔥 #BlueJays50
