BINGHAMTON, N.Y. - The Toronto Blue Jays announced Wednesday that infielder Tanner Morris has been promoted from the Double-A New Hampshire Fisher Cats to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons.
Morris reached base in 17 consecutive games from May 12 - June 4, the longest on-base streak for the Fisher Cats this season. During that stretch, he hit .364 (24-for-66) with seven doubles, 10 walks, and a .455 on-base percentage.
As of Wednesday's promotion, Morris was leading the Fisher Cats and ranked top five in the Eastern League among qualified players in batting average (.312), on-base percentage (.430), walks (30), and runs scored (35). He was also the team-leader in OPS (.898).

In a corresponding move, outfielder Zac Cook has been activated from the 7-day injured list.
