Jenkins was designated for assignment Saturday to make room on the 40-man roster for Gavin Floyd, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins had been a steady performer out of the bullpen before 2015, averaging a 3.25 ERA and 32.1 innings per year in the three seasons prior. However, a brutal spring and mediocre results last season made the out-of-options reliever expendable. If he manages to clear waivers, he'll likely go back to Triple-A Buffalo.

Jenkins was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jenkins previously had a five-game stint with Toronto in May, but has since toiled in the minors. He had pitched at least 30 innings in the three season prior, so it's unusual that the Blue Jays didn't use him more in his final option year. The 27-year-old figures to work as a long man and mop-up man in the season's final month.

Jenkins was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, SportsNet's Ben Nicholson-Smith reports. The Blue Jays continue to shake up the bullpen, this time recalling Ryan Tepera from Triple-A. Jenkins is in his final option year, and could be coming and going all summer as the Jays' needs require.

Jenkins was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday. Jenkins will replace Scott Copeland as the Jays' long reliever, which could eventually lead to some spot starts. While he doesn't walk many batters, and had a fantastic ground-ball rate (57.3 percent) over 31.2 big-league innings last season, Jenkins has never been able to pile up strikeouts. His K/9 marks have consistently been in the 4-6 range at the upper levels of the minors over the past few season.

Jenkins was sent down to minor league camp on Wednesday, John Lott of the National Post reports. Jenkins had a horrible spring, giving up eight earned runs and 12 hits including two home runs across 6.2 innings. Jenkins split his time between Triple-A Buffalo and the Blue Jays last season, posting very solid numbers in the majors. He held a 2.56 ERA across 31.2 innings last season with 18 strikeouts in Toronto, but after breaking his hand in batting practice last season, couldn't regain the form he found while with the Blue Jays.

Jenkins was transferred to the 60-day DL on Sunday, MLB.com reports. Jenkins was already set to miss the remainder of the 2014 season after having surgery to repair a fractured right hand in early-September, so the move is merely procedural. It will clear up an extra spot on the 40-man roster, allowing the Blue Jays to add depth for their regular season finale.

Jenkins (hand) underwent successful surgery Monday to repair a fracture in his right hand, Blue Jays' play-by-play man Mike Wilner reports. The right-hander took a pitch off of his hand during batting practice last week and, consequently, will miss the remainder of the 2014 season. A four-to-six week recovery period is expected before he'll return to baseball activities.

Jenkins will miss 4-6 weeks due to a fractured right hand, Sportsnet's Barry Davis reports. Jenkins was taking batting practice prior to Thursday's game when he was hit in the hand with a pitch. It's a rough end to the season for the right-hander, who posted a 2.56 ERA and 1.26 WHIP over 31.2 innings in the big leagues.
