Blue Jays re-signed OF Rudy Martin Jr. to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 30-year-old outfielder elected free agency after being removed from the team’s 40-man roster at the end of October, but he’ll return on a minor league pact. Martin finally broke through and made his MLB debut with the club in September, going 0-for-2 in his limited action before suffering a hamstring strain. He’ll continue to function as extra outfield depth for the Jays.
