Mat Latos made 3 starts for the Blue Jays earlier in the season posting a 6.60 earned run average in 15 innings of work with the big club. The 29-year old surrendered 11 runs including 5 home runs in his 3 starts signaling for his demotion to Buffalo.
Latos was significantly better with the Buffalo Bisons making 5 starts for the Triple-A affiliate posting a respectable 3.81 earned run average. The timing of the release seems odd as Latos appeared to be rounding into form, in his last two starts, he had only given up 1 and 2 runs respectively.
