<p>Green left the game under his own strength and passed the ball off to Paul Fry, who proceeded to allow three runs to score. The Bisons wound up losing the game by a score of 10-9.

<p>The Blue Jays inked Green in the off-season after the New York Yankees opted to let one of their steadiest relief arms from the past few seasons to walk in free agency. Green made just 14 appearances for the Yankees in 2022 before it was announced he would undergo season-ending surgery. He has a 3.17 ERA and 11.6 strikeouts per nine innings across 272 appearances at the Major League level.</p>
