TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have dealt pitcher Joel Payamps to the Kansas City Royals for cash considerations.

Payamps posted a 2.70 ERA with 22 strikeouts in 30.0 innings this season.

The right-handed pitcher was recently designated for assignment by the team after Ryan Borucki was activated from the 60-day injury list.

He had also been moved back down to AAA in late June.

The 27-year-old was acquired by the Blue Jays off of waivers from the Boston Red Sox before the 2021 season.
