The Toronto Blue Jays have implemented pitching roster adjustments, including the designation of right-hander Matt Waldron for assignment. Waldron, a knuckleball pitcher, was previously claimed off waivers from the San Diego Padres. To fill the vacancy created by Waldron, the club has selected the contract of left-hander Brendan Cellucci from Triple-A. 

Additionally, the Blue Jays outrighted right-hander Lazaro Estrada to Triple-A Buffalo following his designation for assignment, a move intended to create space for Daz Cameron.
