Villar joins Jays in time to face former team, Marlins

Jonathan Villar is returning from New York on a flight back to Miami -- but he's doing so while no longer a member of the Marlins.

Villar, who can play second base, shortstop, third and all three outfield spots, was traded during the Marlins' Monday game, a 5-3 win over the host New York Mets.

On Tuesday night, the Marlins will host Villar's new team, the Toronto Blue Jays.

Villar's final play as a member of the Marlins was a stellar and sprawling catch in shallow center field from his second base position, robbing Wilson Ramos of an RBI single.
