According to an announcement from the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons, infielder/outfielder Alen Hanson, who was designated for assignment on May 3, has cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. Per the announcement, he’ll head to Buffalo immediately.
Hanson, 26, came over to the Blue Jays from the San Francisco Giants in the Kevin Pillar trade earlier this season.
A utility player with 261 major league games under his belt, Hanson never impressed Blue Jays fans, slashing a paltry .163/.229/.163 in 48 plate appearances while making two errors in 18 games.
Though he logged innings at second base, first base, right field, and left field, his versatility clearly wasn’t enough to keep him on the major-league roster.
