The Toronto Blue Jays activated southpaw Ryan Borucki from the 60-day injured list on Friday, with the organization designating right-hander Joel Payamps for assignment in order to create room on both the active and 40-man roster.

Having Borucki back in the bullpen will be a boost for the relief corps that features Tim Mayza, Anthony Kay, and Tayler Saucedo from the left side of the mound.
