The Toronto Blue Jays have announced a roster move, and no, it doesn&#8217;t involve top prospect Gabriel Moreno. At least, for now. Instead, the team has placed reliever Andrew Vasquez on the 15-day injured list with a right ankle sprain.
Additionally, with Vasquez headed to the IL, Toronto has recalled right-hander Jeremy Beasley from triple-A Buffalo. The 26-year-old will be active for Friday&#8217;s series opener in Detroit versus the Tigers.

Vasquez, 28, injured his ankle while covering first base during the club&#8217;s 8-4 defeat against the Kansas City Royals on Sunday. He was forced to leave the game in the bottom of the eighth inning and underwent further testing afterwards.
The 6&#8217;6&#8243; left-hander, who signed a one-year deal with the Blue Jays over the off-season, has posted an 8.10 ERA and a 5.99 FIP across 6.2 innings in nine appearances this season. He spent the 2021 campaign inside the Los Angeles Dodgers organization.
On a Moreno-related note, while he won&#8217;t be active in Friday&#8217;s opener, the expectation is he&#8217;ll be placed on the active roster either Saturday or Sunday, according to Sportsnet&#8217;s Ben Nicholson-Smith.
