The Toronto Blue Jays have reinstated right-handed relief pitcher Zach Pop from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo. 

The 26-year-old native of Brampton, Ont., has been sidelined since early May with a hamstring injury. 

In 2023, Pop has made 15 relief appearances for the Jays, allowing 11 runs, including four homers, over 13.2 innings pitched for a 6.59 ERA. 

Toronto acquired Pop from the Miami Marlins last season and he was a strong performer over 17 appearances for the Jays in 2022, posting a 1.89 ERA over 19 innings.
