Blue Jays optioned RHP Lazaro Estrada to Triple-A Buffalo.

The 26-year-old hurler was recalled from Triple-A to make a spot start in place of Cody Ponce on Saturday, hurling four scoreless innings against the White Sox in a bulk role. While he performed well in the role, the Jays don’t seem to view him as a long-term replacement for Ponce, so he’ll return to the rotation at Triple-A until he’s needed once again.
