Green has impressed over last month with Jays

One month into his return to the big leagues, Blue Jays reliever Chad Green has provided another quality arm to a Toronto bullpen loaded with talent.

MINNEAPOLIS – One month into his return to the big leagues, Blue Jays reliever Chad Green has provided another quality arm to a Toronto bullpen loaded with talent.

His reinstatement after undergoing Tommy John surgery last year has given Toronto manager John Schneider a right-hander who can be used in a variety of situations.

“From a veteran standpoint, obviously being in this division for his whole career and pitching in big spots and high leverage, (it’s) just his presence,” Schneider said. “I love the way that he’s throwing the ball.

“Between his experience and his stuff, it’s been a tremendous addition for us.”

Green was primarily used as a reliever over seven seasons with New York before injuring his elbow early in the 2022 campaign.

He signed a two-year contract with Toronto before the start of the ’23 season.

Green was able to build up at Class A Dunedin and triple-A Buffalo over the summer before making his Blue Jays debut on Sept. 1.

“The power is there, the depth to his slider is there, the command is there,” Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Monday. “He’s been a really nice addition with an incredible set of experiences and a great reputation.”
