Torreyes was acquired by the Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for cash or a player to be named later, is out of the lineup for Friday's game in Baltimore, Brendan Kennedy of the Toronto Star reports. | ||||||
Torreyes was designated for assignment by Houston last week, but the Blue Jays deemed the 22-year-old worthy of a spot on the 40-man roster. Torreyes will likely report to Triple-A Buffalo, as his bat clearly isn't big-league ready. He doesn't hit for power or steals many bases, and he probably won't have an impact for the Jays this season. | ||||||

The Astros needed a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Preston Tucker, who was selected from Triple-A Fresno on Thursday. While he rarely strikes out, Torreyes has very little long-term upside, as he doesn't hit for power or steal many bases. He owns a .200/.211/.214 slash line through 72 plate appearances for Triple-A Fresno this season, after posting a .298/.345/.376 line at the same level last year. Despite the limited skill set, he won't necessarily make it through waivers unclaimed, as he's only 22 years old | ||||||

Torreyes spent his entire 2014 campaign with Triple-A Oklahoma City, slashing an impressive .298/.345/.376 and just 26 strikeouts in 126 games. The 22-year-old could work his way on to the major league roster in 2015. | ||||||

Cubs acquired INF Ronald Torreyes from the Reds in the Sean Marshall trade. | ||||||
Torreyes turned just 19 in September but has batted .364/.419/.517 in the lower levels of the Reds system. He's played a variety of positions on the field but has yet to find a home. However, given his production with the bat, he is an interesting long-term prospect. | ||||||
