Blue Jays make second round of roster cuts

The following players have been re-assigned to minor league camp.

RHP Andrew Bash
C Phil Clarke
RHP Lazaro Estrada
INF Josh Kasevich
RHP Eric Pardinho
INF Riley Tirotta

None of the players were on the 40-man roster and none of them had a realistic shot at making the opening day roster.

Clarke got into minimal action, with the catching prospect only getting one at-bat. Kasevich had some success, but a recent stress reaction in his back put an early end to his Spring Training.

Tirotta is the player on the list who got the most game action, getting 19 at-bats. While he had just two hits, he profiles as a defensive-first first baseman and looked solid with the glove.

Andrew Bash is a name to keep an eye on. The former college groundskeeper started to see some results in the last week or so, and even picked up a save in his games of work. He should be set to start the year at Triple-A and could be a prime candidate for a call-up at some point during the season.

While the results weren't there for Pardinho during the spring, he did have success representing the Brazilian National in the recent World Baseball Classic qualifiers. With recent injuries to Adam Macko and Adam Kloffenstein, he cis someone the Blue Jays could consider stretching out to fill a void in their Triple-A rotation.

The Blue Jays now have 56 players left at camp, 16 of which are non-roster invitees. The next round of cuts should happen in about a week's time.
