Dorn was claimed off waivers by the Blue Jays on Friday, Fanragsports.com's Jack Magruder reports. |
He was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks earlier this week. Dorn hit .167 with zero home runs and zero steals in 23 games with the Diamondbacks, and the 31-year-old journeyman will now head to the fourth organization of his career. |

Dorn was designated for assignment by the Braves on Monday. |
Dorn continues to slide further down the organizational totem pole, as he'll no longer be a member of the 40-man roster. A move was required to open up a spot on the 40-man for Jhoulys Chacin, and Dorn is apparently the odd man out. |

Dorn was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday, Nick Piecoro of AZCentral Sports reports. |
Dominic Leone was recalled Tuesday, so Dorn will head to Triple-A to clear a spot on the 25-man roster. Dorn has appeared in only three games this month and is 5-for-30 with three RBI on the season. |

Dorn was recalled from Triple-A Reno on Sunday. |
Dorn has seen sporadic playing time with the Diamondbacks this season, collecting five hits in 29 at-bats. He'll provide short-term outfield depth, but will likely be one of the first names on the chopping block when an extra roster spot is needed. |
Sat Jul 4 2015 | 18:36 | Dorn optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday |
Dorn was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Saturday. |
Dorn has cobbled together two multi-week stays in the majors this season. However, he's totaled 29 at-bats in 22 appearances, which intimates his pinch-hitting role. Overall, he's supplied a .172/.226/.207 line with three RBIs, so the 30-year-old journeyman may have a difficult time earning another opportunity with the Diamondbacks. |
Wed Jun 17 2015 | 10:36 | Dorn 2-4 in return to majors Monday against Angels |
Dorn went 2-for-4 in his return to the majors Monday against the Angels. |
He has continued to pound Triple-A pitching this year to the tune of a .426/.470/.628 line. Despite finding some success in his brief exposure to major league pitching (.385/.467/.462 in 15 plate appearances), the 30-year-old Dorn is not a significant fantasy asset. |

Dorn is hitting second and playing first base Tuesday against the Angels, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. |
Dorn was recalled from Triple-A Reno earlier Tuesday to take the spot of Ender Inciarte (hamstring), who hit the 15-day DL. Dorn has torn up Triple-A pitching in 39 games this season, and he'll look to translate that success to the big league level. |

Dorn has been recalled from Triple-A Reno, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports. |
Dorn will return to the big league club to take the roster spot of Ender Inciarte (hamstring), who was placed on the 15-day DL on Tuesday. Dorn has appeared in 12 games for Arizona this season, going 3-for-9 at the plate in mostly pinch-hit duty. He's hitting a healthy .426/.460/.628 in 39 games at Triple-A. |

The Diamondbacks optioned Dorn to Triple-A Reno following Saturday's game against the Padres. |
They did this despite Dorn hitting a pinch-hit double off of Craig Kimbrel in the ninth inning to tie Saturday night's game. He was used in a pinch-hit capacity the entire time with the Diamondbacks. |

Dorn was called up from Triple-A Reno on Tuesday. |
The Diamondbacks had a roster spot open up with Jake Lamb (foot) landing on the DL, and it will be Dorn who takes his place for now. Dorn does own a .272/.348/.476 career batting line at the Triple-A level (2,558 PA), but he will likely be used sparingly off the bench as he can only really play first base and the corner outfield. |
Tue Mar 4 2014 | 08:52 | Danny Dorn diagnosed with fractured wrist |
Danny Dorn has been diagnosed with a fracture in his right wrist and will miss at least six weeks. |
Dorn was signed to a minor league contract in November after posting a promising .258/.335/.460 batting line with 25 home runs and 82 RBI in 2013 for the Tigers' Triple-A team. The 29-year-old is no longer in the running for an Opening Day roster spot. |

Sat Nov 16 2013 | 14:31 | D'Backs sign Danny Dorn to minors contract |
Diamondbacks signed 1B/OF Danny Dorn to a minor league contract. |
The 29-year-old had a bit of a resurgence at Triple-A Toledo in 2013, slashing .258/.335/.460 with 25 homers, 82 RBI and eight stolen bases. He did fan 131 times in 496 at-bats, but has legitimate pop and could compete for a bench spot with the Diamondbacks. |
