Blue Jays DFA Dana Eveland
ByJordan Bastian of MLB.com is reporting that the Toronto Blue Jays Dana Eveland has been designated for assignment. If he clears waivers, Eveland says that he will report to Triple-A Las Vegas.
Eveland, 26, was acquired form the A’s in exchange for cash considerations in February and he made the Blue Jays’ Opening Day roster with a stellar showing in Spring Training. The lefty continued to look solid over his first six starts, going 3-1 with a 3.82 ERA. Lately, though, things fell apart for Eveland.
“I’ve thrown terribly my last three starts,” Eveland said. “I’m wearing out the bullpen every time I take the field right now. I would do the same thing if I was them. It’s part of the game. I’ve just got to get back to work. I’ve got to figure out what it was that made me successful my first few outings this year. In his last start on Saturday against the D-backs, Eveland lasted on 1 1/3 innings while giving up 8 runs on 8 hits.
“If I end up in Triple-A, I’m not going to be all that upset,” Eveland said. “I really, really like this organization a lot. It’s been my favorite organization I’ve been in, even though it’s only been a couple months. There are great people in this organization and it’s a great team, great guys to be around.
“Top to bottom, it’s the best organization I’ve been in.”
