Signing a two-year deal with the Toronto Blue Jays back in the 2019/2020 off-season, starting pitcher Tanner Roark was known for pitching deep into games and eating up innings, pitching below 4.00 ERA for his career prior to joining the bluebirds.

With the return of Teoscar Hernandez from the injured list today, Tanner Roark has been designated for assignment to open up a spot on the roster, ending a very rocky tenure that just saw the right-hander never find his groove since joining the Blue Jays organization.
