Activated, optioned to Triple-A Kay (finger) was activated from the 10-day injured list Thursday and optioned to Triple-A.

Impact He was already at Triple-A Buffalo on a rehab assignment and will stick around in the Bisons' rotation for the time being. The Jays will undoubtedly need rotation reinforcements at some point soon, but Kay's 6.62 ERA and 1.64 WHIP in the majors this season may lead to him getting passed over for the next opportunity if Toronto has any better options.

Dealing with finger injury Kay was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left finger blister Thursday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Kay was sent to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, but he'll technically join the minor-league club on a rehab assignment since the injury occurred in the majors, and teams can't option injured players. It seems likely that Kay will remain with the Triple-A club once he's fully healthy, and Alek Manoah will have a chance to earn the fifth spot in Toronto's rotation after his contract was selected Thursday.

Sent to Triple-A Kay was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact The 26-year-old gave up two runs on four hits and four walks over four innings Friday and has a 6.62 ERA through five outings, and he'll now continue his season in the minors. It's unclear how long Kay is expected to spend at Triple-A, and it's also not known who will take his spot in the starting rotation.

Comes away with no-decision Friday Kay didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 9-7 extra-innings loss to the Rays, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks over four innings while striking out four.

Impact The southpaw got staked to an early lead but wasn't efficient enough to last the requisite five innings for a win even if the Jays had held onto it. Kay tossed 54 of 91 pitches for strikes before getting the hook, and his 6.62 ERA and 1.64 WHIP through 17.2 innings mark him as one of the likeliest candidates to lose their rotation spot once Toronto begins promoting pitchers like Alek Manoah.

Fires four scoreless innings Kay pitched four scoreless innings, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out six in the win over the Phillies on Saturday. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Kay allowed just three base runners in his four innings pitched. This was his first start in which he didn't allow any runs. The 26-year-old is more acclimated with being bulk reliever than a starter, with his four innings today tying his longest outing of the season. He has struggled this season, carrying a 7.24 ERA and 1.54 WHIP in 13.2 innings. His next start is Friday against Tampa Bay.

Takes loss Tuesday Kay (0-2) allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four to take the loss against Oakland on Tuesday.

Impact The left-hander's second appearance of the season went much like his first, as Kay was unable to pitch beyond the fourth inning and allowed four earned runs. All of the damage against him came in the second frame, when Oakland struck for a two-run double and a two-run home run. Kay has now allowed eight earned runs over 7.1 innings this season while compiling a 7:2 K:BB. He could get another start this weekend at Houston, but Kay will likely eventually cede his rotation spot to Nate Pearson (groin).

Spot start on tap Kay is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Athletics in Oakland, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact After being called up from the alternate site Sunday, Kay was available out of the bullpen for Toronto's series finale versus Atlanta, but he wasn't needed in the 7-2 victory. He'll now step into the rotation to eat innings as the Blue Jays' No. 5 starter, but Kay may just be keeping a seat warm for Nate Pearson (groin), who is in the process of ramping up for starting duties in the minor leagues after spending the first month of the season on the injured list.
