Blue Jays trade for bullpen help, cut ties with reliever

The Toronto Blue Jays are looking to beef up their pitching staff. On Friday, the Blue Jays announced a trio of roster moves: a trade with the Philadelphia Phillies for right-handed reliever Ryan Burr, designating right-handed pitcher Joel Kuhnel for assignment, and placing Alek Manoah on the 15-day injured list with a right elbow sprain. Burr has been selected to Toronto's major league roster and will be active for tonight's game.
