Outfielder Jonatan Clase has rejoined the Toronto Blue Jays for their doubleheader against the New York Yankees.
The Blue Jays appointed Clase from triple-A Buffalo as their 27th man Sunday.
Toronto also transferred right-handed pitcher Ryan Burr (right shoulder inflammation) to the 60-day injured list. Burr was scheduled to throw off a mound on Saturday according to Sportsnet's Shi Davidi.
Saturday's game was rescheduled due to inclement weather in the Bronx.
Clase batted .350 with two RBIs and one home run in seven games with the Blue Jays last season. He was acquired in July from the Seattle Mariners along with Jacob Sharp in exchange for Yimi Garcia.
The 22-year-old switch-hitter will bat eighth and play left field in Game 1 of the doubleheader.
Kevin Gausman, who was set to take the mound Saturday before the postponement, will start Game 1 and Chris Bassitt will start Game 2.
The Blue Jays opened the three-game series with a 4-2 win on Friday, a victory that snapped a five-game losing streak. Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who's enjoyed playing at Yankee Stadium throughout his career, hit his second home run of the season as the Jays improved to 13-13.
Toronto sits two games back of division-leader New York in the American League East.
