The Toronto Blue Jays open up a four-game series against the Orioles in Baltimore. Meantime, the Jays have acquired outfielder Adron Chambers from the Houston Astros for two minor leaguers.
Adron Chambers is now a member of the Blue Jays organization. Going to the other way to Houston are lefthander Alejandro Solarte and second baseman Will Dupont. Solarte posted a 2.98 earned run average and Dupont batted .262 for the Gulf Coast Blue Jays last season.
Adron Chambers has spent parts of the 2011 to 2013 campaigns, including the playoffs, with the St. Louis Cardinals. The 27 year-old left-handed hitter is a .216/.289/.295 hitter in 88 career at-bats in the bigs. The 5-10, 200 pound native of Pensacola, Florida was a 38th round pick of the Cardinals back in 2007. He signed with Houston in the off-season but did not make the club, spending this season at Triple-A Oklahoma. In 25 games with the Red Hawks, Chambers batted .281/.356/.416 with six doubles, two home runs and 15 runs batted in while playing all three outfield positions.
The Jays have done some shuffling to their roster by optioning outfielder Kevin Pillar and reliever Bobby Korecky to Triple-A Buffalo while recalling outfielder Darin Mastroianni from the Bisons.
