According to Gregor Chisolm of MLB.com, The Toronto Blue Jays have designated Juan Rivera for assignment. This move was made to make room for Travis Snider who is going to be recalled tomorrow. Snider was sent down to AAA on April 29 to work on his swing. He hit .333/.403/.488 with2 home runs for AAA Las Vegas. With Snider returning to the Major League club, Rajai Davis is likely to lose playing time.
