NEW YORK – It was only 338 days ag in this city, but at its other big league ballpark, Citi Field, that Steve Delabar was one of four Blue Jays representing the disappointing 2013 version of the ball club at the All-Star Game. On Tuesday afternoon in this city, but at its American League cathedral in the Bronx, Delabar was given the news that he was being optioned, the technical term for a demotion, to Triple-A Buffalo. “Its the business,” said Delabar. “Im not crushed or beat up. I understand the move. Its obviously a team move. They have to do this or designate someone and they dont want to do that so Im the guy right now. Theyre going to send me out.” The Blue Jays found themselves in a roster predicament thanks to two injuries that, while considered relatively minor, have left them short a bench player and a reliever. Brett Cecil tweaked his groin in the eighth inning on Friday night. He was not available for the two weekend games in Baltimore and was to be used only in a pinch on Tuesday night in New York. The ailment which affected Delabars status is Adam Linds. He fouled a pitch off his right foot in the sixth inning on Saturday. He required the assistance of a golf cart to get off the team bus on Sunday. Lind wore a walking boot and was on crutches, making the injury optically worse than the Jays say it is. “Thats just a precautionary think to take the weight off it,” said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. “The walking boot allows it to heal a lot sooner.” Lind is “day-to-day,” Anthopouloss words, and wasnt ruled out for Wednesdays game. Lets let the general manager explain. “The fact that we had the off-day, our bullpen is fresh and we needed to make a move,” said Anthopoulos. “Delabar hasnt performed as well as he did last year. He can use the consistent work. Its just a combination of things. We needed to clear up a spot to get an infielder up here and out of the relievers that were there, Chad (Jenkins) provided us a little more length right now and we can get Steve the work as well. That was the move for us, unless we were going to go the DL route.” Regardless of the reasons, this stings Delabar. He pitched to a 3.22 ERA and a 2.72 FIP in 58 2/3 innings in 2013, a key part of a strong bullpen, which was the saving grace of an injured, bad team. Now, he was at best the third right-handed bullpen option leading to Casey Janssen. Dustin McGowan took Delabars coveted eighth-inning role weeks ago and Sergio Santos, back from the disabled list, will get a chance to reestablish himself as a viable right-handed, late-inning guy. Delabars main issue has been fastball command. Hes seen his walk rate jump from 11.5 per cent last year to 14.8 per cent in 2014. Delabars strikeout rate has plummeted. He whiffed 32.4 per cent of enemy hitters in 2013 compared with 19.4 per cent this season. “Some small mechanical things that I was off line and it was causing me to be a little erratic in my command,” said Delabar. “Kind of cleaned that stuff up recently and theres really nothing to go down and really clean up; its just go down there and get some consistent innings and just work on what Ive been doing.” Munenori Kawasaki was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo and started at second base on Tuesday night. Kawasaki was hitting .276/.320/.388 and 11 of his 32 hits for the Bisons were doubles. “We dont know how long the move is going to be for,” said Anthopoulos. “Hes on the (40-man) roster, its a left-handed bat, were not facing any left-hander, will give you a good at-bat and you know all the other stuff he brings and so on. Hes someone who can grind an at-bat and the fact we dont face any left-handers, it makes sense for us. And he can also play the outfield if we needed him to.” Jaire Alexander Jersey .

For the second time in less than a month, the Winnipeg Goldeyes swept the rival Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks in a doubleheader at Shaw Park. The Goldeyes (41-23) ran their winning streak to 10 games against the RedHawks (30-34) with 7-2 and 4-3 wins Tuesday night before 5,828 joyous spectators. The wins increase Winnipegs lead in the North Division to at least 3 1/2 games and extends the Goldeyes winning streak to four games. “It was a good day for the club,” Winnipeg Goldeyes manager Rick Forney said. “We got contributions from a lot of people.” In the second game, Fargo scored first in the top of the first inning when C.J. Retherford collided with Goldeyes catcher Luis Alen at home plate and ball popped out of Alens glove. Alen was shook up on the play, but stayed in the game after taking a few minutes to compose himself. “It was a very unsettling situation, not only for Luis, by for our entire team,” Forney said. “Hes a very important part to our team around here and Luis is a tough guy. He understands that if you play that position things like that could happen. “Hes going to be sore tomorrow. His whole body will be sore. Plus, he caught 14 innings. That shows you how tough he is.” Winnipeg battled back to take the lead with two runs in the bottom of the second, as Reggie Abercrombie singled in Jake Blackwood and Jordan Guida singled in Abercrombie. The Goldeyes extended their lead with two more runs in the bottom oof the third.dddddddddddd. Josh Mazzola was hit by a pitch on a 0-2 count and, after stealing second, scored on a Tyler Kuhn double.

Ethan Hollingsworth went 5 1/3 innings to get the win for the Goldeyes, improving his record to a perfect 5-0, while Taylor Stanton dropped to 2-8 with the loss. Lafferty picked up his first save in a 90 outings in Goldeyes uniform. In the first game, the Goldeyes scored five runs in the bottom of the first and cruised to a 7-2 win over the RedHawks. Mazzola led Winnipeg at the plate by going three-for-four with two RBI and two runs scored. Abercrombie hit a two-run home run in the first inning. Salamida pitched a complete game for the win. He gave up two runs on just four hits, struck out six and walked one. With the win, he passed Rafael Gross for the second-most wins in Goldeyes history with 37. Salamida needs 10 more wins to catch Ace Walker for the franchise record. Aside for Tuesday night, the Goldeyes also swept the RedHawks in doubleheader on June 30. Winnipeg has a 6-2 record in doubleheader games this season. Winnipeg will go for its third consecutive sweep of Fargo in the series finale Wednesday night at Shaw Park.
