former FIU baseball standout Josh Banks was recalled to the major leagues yesterday by the Toronto Blue Jays....Congrats to Josh!!!!
Reinforcements: As expected, the cramped visitors' clubhouse at Fenway Park became even more claustrophobic on Tuesday, when the Jays added three more players to their roster. Toronto steered clear of any surprises, promoting catcher Sal Fasano, infielder Hector Luna and right-hander Josh Banks.
The lone newcomer to the Blue Jays is the 25-year-old Banks, who went 12-10 with a 4.63 ERA in 27 starts for Triple-A Syracuse this season. Banks will be moved into Toronto's bullpen, but Gibbons said the pitcher could potentially make a start toward the end of September.
"We'll see. We'll pick our spots and ease him in," manager John Gibbons said about Banks, who struck out 101 batters and walked 24 over 169 innings this year. "He's mainly a guy to help take the load off those guys [in the bullpen] in certain situations."
