Tate struggled across 5.1 innings with the Blue Jays, posting a 5.06 ERA and 2.43 WHIP. He’ll now head to Triple-A Buffalo, where he’ll look to regain his command and work on limiting baserunners. In a corresponding move, Braydon Fisher had his contract selected from Triple-A.

Tate’s 4.66 ERA and 1.47 WHIP over 36.2 innings in 2024, with no spring outings since his March 10 Jays signing, land him in Buffalo Thursday for buildup. The 30-year-old’s MLB return looms. Fantasy managers in deep dynasty leagues might stash him, hoping his relief arm earns a midseason Toronto bullpen role as depth in 2025 if he regains form.
