New Hampshire Fisher Cats News Release
TRENTON, N.J. - The Toronto Blue Jays have recalled pitcher Chad Jenkins to the active major league roster. Jenkins, who was tonight's scheduled starter against the Trenton Thunder, will join the team in Boston as they Blue Jays continue a weekend series with the Boston Red Sox.
Jenkins was slated to make his second start of the season for the Fisher Cats tonight, just five days after making his season debut on Monday. In that outing, which marked his return from the disabled list, Jenkins allowed two just runs over 5.0 innings against the New Britain Rock Cats, earning a no-decision.
The right-hander is the first Fisher Cat to be promoted to Toronto in the 2013 season. The first-round pick of the Blue Jays in 2009 made his major league debut a year ago, earning a 1-3 record in 13 appearances (three starts). In 32.0 innings with the big club, he allowed 16 earned runs (4.50 ERA) on 32 hits, 16 strikeouts, and 11 walks.
The Fisher Cats will now continue their series against Trenton tonight with RHP Tyson Brummett (0-2, 6.26) taking Jenkins' place in the rotation at 7:05 p.m. He'll be opposed by Trenton LHP Matt Tracy (3-2, 8.31).
