LANSING - The Toronto Blue Jays have announced today that right handed pitcher Yesson Berroa has been transferred to the Auburn Doubledays in the New-York Penn League. The Blue Jays have also announced that right handed pitcher Dewon Day has been promoted from Auburn to Lansing and will take Berroa's roster spot.

Berroa, the 23-year-old right hander from San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic once again heads to Auburn. In five games with the Lugnuts, Berroa earned a record of 0-1 with a 5.87 ERA. In 7.2 innings of work, he allowed ten hits and struck out seven hitters while issuing seven walks. Berroa lost his only decision with Lansing in last night's 5-4, 10-inning loss to Burlington at Oldsmobile Park.

The 24-year-old Day joins the Lugnuts today. A native of Jackson, Mississippi, the right hander made three appearances with Auburn in 2005. Day was 0-0 with an ERA of 3.00. In three innings, he allowed four hits and an earned run. Day had spent a good majority of the season on the disabled list before finally beginning his season on July 25th. Originally, Day was a 26th round selection out of Southern A&M University by Toronto in the 2002 draft. He spent the entire 2004 campaign in Auburn after making his professional debut in 2003 by making stops in Pulaski and Auburn.

The current roster moves place the Lugnuts' active roster at 25 players.
