TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays optioned right-hander Leonel Campos to triple-A Buffalo on Friday to make room on the roster for left-hander Francisco Liriano ahead of his start Friday night against the New York Yankees.
Liriano spent three weeks on the disabled list with a left shoulder injury. He was 2-2 with a 6.35 earned-run average over seven starts before going on the DL.
Campos was recalled Thursday and worked three innings in relief of starter Marco Estrada in a 12-2 loss to the Yankees in the opener of a four-game series at Rogers Centre.
In five appearances for Toronto this season, Campos (0-0) posted a 2.25 ERA with nine strikeouts over eight innings.
