The Toronto Blue Jays activated right-handed pitcher Dustin McGowan on Saturday, optioning reliever Todd Redmond to triple-A Buffalo and making room on the 40-man roster by designating Evan Crawford for assignment.
McGowan started the 2013 season on the 15-day disabled list. The Blue Jays moved McGowan to the 60-day disabled list where he then started a rehab assignment with the single-A Dunedin Blue Jays on May 14.
John Gibbons says Dustin McGowan will be a “one-two inning max guy.” #Bluejays
