Blue Jays signed LHP Michael Plassmeyer to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Plassmeyer fortifies Toronto’s relief depth on the doorstep of the majors heading into next season after posting a serviceable 4.43 ERA (5.35 FIP) and 21.9 percent strikeout rate across 105 2/3 innings over 28 appearances (16 starts) at the Triple-A level this past season. The 29-year-old lefty hasn’t pitched in the majors since making three appearances for the Phillies from 2022-2023.
