Blue Jays Attempt to Bring in Pitcher Who Wasn't on Lineup Card

The 2020 MLB season has been an exercise in adaptability. Nothing is business as usual, from the ballpark experience to how players and team staff are allowed to behave away from the field. Another change has been how teams are allowed to construct their rosters, with traveling taxi squads available for teams on the road.

That last part proved to be an issue on Thursday. Playing the Braves on the road, the Blue Jays attempted to make a pitching change in the sixth inning and bring in Jacob Waguespack, who was brought up to the active roster earlier in the day after Toronto placed Trent Thornton on the injured list.
