Blue Jays Claim Paul Sewald Off Waivers From D-backs

The Toronto Blue Jays have claimed Paul Sewald off waivers. The veteran reliever was designated for assignment by the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier this week. The move comes as the Diamondbacks look to bolster their pitching staff with the additions of Mike Soroka and Zack Littell.

Sewald, who has spent time with the New York Mets and Seattle Mariners, brings valuable experience to the Blue Jays' bullpen. The Diamondbacks' decision to part ways with Sewald follows a series of roster adjustments aimed at strengthening their pitching depth. The Blue Jays, meanwhile, are looking to shore up their relief corps as they push for a playoff spot.

The Blue Jays will now integrate Sewald into their bullpen. The Diamondbacks will focus on the roles of Littell and Soroka. The next steps involve evaluating Sewald's performance with the Blue Jays and the impact of Littell and Soroka on the Diamondbacks' pitching staff.
