The Toronto Blue Jays returned both rookie infielder Charles McAdoo and veteran right-hander Simeon Woods Richardson to the major league roster amid a series of moves Monday.
To make room on the active roster, right-hander Lazaro Estrada and utility man Davis Schneider were optioned to Triple-A Buffalo, while catcher Willie MacIver was designated for assignment.
Woods Richardson, 25, went 0-7 with a 7.74 ERA in 12 appearances (10 starts) for the Minnesota Twins this season before he was designated for assignment and traded to the Blue Jays on June 3. In three relief appearances for Toronto following the trade, he went 1-0 and did not allow a run over 10 innings.
In five major league seasons, mostly with the Twins, Woods Richardson is 13-17 with a 4.61 ERA in 68 appearances (61 starts).
McAdoo, 24, made his major league debut May 29 and bated .160 with a home run and three RBIs over eight games.
Estrada, 27, was 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA in seven relief appearances for the Blue Jays this season, while Schneider, 27, was batting .142 with three home runs and 12 RBIs in 61 games.
MacIver, 29, made his major league debut last season with the Athletics and was at Buffalo before he was designated for assignment.
