Matt Tuiasosopo will not make the Blue Jays' Opening Day roster. Tuiasosopo is out of options, so he'll likely be placed on waivers. The 27-year-old was just claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks last week, but he figures to be on the move again soon.

Blue Jays claimed OF Matt Tuiasosopo off waivers from the Diamondbacks. The Blue Jays released left-hander Luis Perez in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Tuiasosopo hit .244/.351/.415 with seven homers in 191 plate appearances with the Tigers last season and could hang on as a utility player with Toronto.

Matt Tuiasosopo went 1-for-2 with a double as the Diamondbacks were blanked by the Rockies in Cactus League play on Friday. The veteran outfielder who has shown the ability to mash against left-handed pitching should be able to find a reserve role with the Snakes this season. Tuiasosopo smashed seven homers and drove home 30 runs in just 164 at-bats with the Tigers in 2013.

Diamondbacks claimed INF/OF Matt Tuiasosopo off waivers from the Tigers. Tuiasosopo was a solid bit player for the Tigers this season, batting .244/.351/.415 with seven homers while playing three different positions. He should fill a utility role for the D'Backs in 2014.

Matt Tuiasosopo homered in one of his two at-bats Monday in his first action since coming off the DL. Tuiasosopo was activated on Thursday, but he didn't appear in a game until drawing the start tonight. Even tonight, he had just the two plate appearances before being removed for Andy Dirks. Manager Jim Leyland seems to have very little faith in him against right-handers, even though he's gone 9-for-27 with two homers versus righties this season. It'd make a lot of sense to give him a longer look.

Matt Tuiasosopo (intercostal) participated in a full workout Monday for the first time since being placed on the disabled list. "It's really good," said Tuiasosopo, who has been sidelined since June 19. "No pain at all. It went really, really well."
