Gets DFA'd The Blue Jays designated Peacock for assignment Tuesday.

Impact Peacock will cede his 40-man roster spot to outfielder Jackie Bradley, whom the Blue Jays signed to a one-year contract. If Peacock isn't scooped up off waivers by another organization, he'll stick around at Triple-A Buffalo. Peacock gave up three earned runs in 6.2 innings over six appearances for Buffalo since being claimed off waivers from the Royals in early July.

Heading to Triple-A Peacock was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday, Mitch Bannon of SI.com reports.

Impact Peacock didn't make any appearances during his one-day stint in the big-league bullpen, and he'll head back to the minors as part of a move to make room for Anthony Bass and Zach Pop on the active roster. Peacock has posted a 5.40 ERA and 1.60 WHIP in 10 innings over nine relief appearances between the Diamondbacks and Royals this year.

Up with big club The Blue Jays recalled Peacock from Triple-A Buffalo ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rays, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

Impact Toronto placed starting pitcher Ross Stripling (glute) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, but the team will presumably look to trade-deadline pickup Mitch White to fill Stripling's spot in the rotation when it comes up Thursday in Minnesota. Peacock, meanwhile, is in line to serve as a long-relief option out of the bullpen for the duration of his stay with the big club. Over 10 innings in the major this season with the Royals and Diamondbacks, Peacock has given up six earned runs on 12 hits and four walks.

Sent to Triple-A The Blue Jays optioned Peacock to Triple-A Buffalo after claiming him off waivers from the Royals on Wednesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Peacock had been a member of Kansas City's big-league bullpen prior to being dropped from its 40-man roster and subsequently exposed to waivers. Toronto doesn't have a spot available in its bullpen for Peacock at the moment, so the 28-year-old will report to Buffalo and look to impress enough to earn a call-up at a later time.
