The Toronto Blue Jays have optioned right-handed pitcher Julian Merryweather to minor-league camp.
Merryweather, 27, was acquired by the Blue Jays in October from the Cleveland Indians as the player to be named later for Josh Donaldson.
Last season with double-A Akron of the Eastern League and triple-A Columbus of the International League, Merryweather appeared in 25 games, all of them starts, posting a 5.32 ERA with 128 strikeouts and 35 walks.
